Misery named Del Griffith - a loud mouthed, but nevertheless loveable, salesman who leads Neal on a cross-country, wild goose chase that keeps Neal from tasting his turkey. Steve Martin (Neal) and John Candy (Del) are absolutely wonderful as two guys with a knack for making the worst of a bad situation. If it's painful, funny, or just plain crazy, it happens to Neal and Del in Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Every traveler's nightmare in a comedy-come-true!

 yay, brownie scene! |
| Review Date: September 24, 2009 |
| Reviewer: ManOnTheEdge, |
I'm giving this 5 stars first, because it's a great movie, one of my favorite comedies. The other reason is that the "dinner" scene ( or "brownie" scene ) on the plane is one of my favorite scenes in the movie that is inexplicably taken out most of the time it's shown on TV and on all of the DVDs. The scene is classic, if you like the movie already and haven't got a chance to catch this scene, you need to.
I don't care about extra features, I usually don't watch them more than once, if that, so my rating is for the movie and the added scene ... finally. |
An 80's classic that gets a better DVD treatment!

Neil Page (Steve Martin) is your typical businessman who had a meeting in New York as he must go back to his home in Chicago to see his family on Thanksgiven. Unfortunately he gets a terrible curse and that curse is Dell Griffeth (John Candy) who is a fat and obnoxious shower-certain salesman who is causing Neil's trip to Chicago from plane, train and car a living nightmare for two days.
A hilarious, heart-felt and exciting comical road trip romp from John Hughes is his best besides "Sixteen Candles" and "Ferris Bueller". Even though it's rated "R" for some swearing, it can still be enjoyed by the whole family as this is a heartwarming and funny movie about friendship and sometimes feeling left out. The acting is superb and so is the pacing in this movie, with a brilliant screenplay that feels so original. Featuring appearences by Kevin Bacon and Ben Stein, this movie is definitely a geniune crowdpleaser and my fave of Hughes's movies.
This DVD contains excellent picture and sound with some extras that were not in the bareboned DVD such as three featurettes including a tribute to the late John Hughes and a deleted scene. |
FINALLY! A great movie.

What needs to be said but -- FINALLY it is here. I am so sickof seeing it dubbed and cut on TV -- YOU know the scene I am talking about... gobble gobble!
It has the extra doo-dads and one deleted scene on the airplane which is pretty funny!
Get this DVD.. NOW! :-)
Jim
I think they cut it out because it was too long.

| I was a little disappointed that the food scene everyone raved about was not all that good. But since this is one of my favorite movies I got over that quickly. Steven Martin and John Candy are absolutely hilarious. |
