Steve Martin and John Candy star in John Hughes' classic tale of holiday travel gone awry. Neal Page (Martin) is an uptight advertising executive trying to get home to Chicago for Thanksgiving. When his flight is rerouted to Wichita, he reluctantly partners with Del Griffith (Candy), an obnoxious yet loveable salesman. Together, they embark on a cross-country adventure that includes various modes of transportation, hilarious mishaps, and unforgettable rental car shenanigans. Planes, Trains and Automobiles is "a screwball comedy with a heart" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). Now with all-new bonus features, the "Those Aren't Pillows!" Edition is a perfect holiday treat that lasts all year.

While PT&A may present itself as a comedy (and most people probably remember it this way); this film is actually more of a dramatic tragedy. Aside from a few funny bits here-and-there, most of this film is Steve Martin having the worst (and undeservingly so) luck imaginable, while not being able to escape the gravity of a perpetual disaster of a homeless, alone, widower (John Candy). It's almost like a Twilight Zone episode minus the comeuppance which makes this film so unsatisfying.

A must watch every Thanksgiving. I remember seeing this when it came out. I thought it was funny, a good movie. Then a couple years later I took a job where I traveled 2 weeks out of every month. WHOA did this movie hit home! I have experienced some of the things this movie explores, including being stranded in a remote location with no money and a non-working credit card. For the business traveler, you have to see this film! Obviously this is traveling problems taken to the extreme, but after years on the road I can attest that nothing in this movie is out of the realm of possibility!

This is John Hughes breaking out of his teen comedy comfort zone and proves he is a master. This is also the most emotional performance John Candy ever gave. I'm not much of a Steve Martin fan but here he's perfectly cast. This movie is an essential classic.
