Neal Page is an advertising executive who just wants to fly home to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his family. But all Neal Page gets is misery. 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!

Bonus Features:
* Getting There is Half the Fun: The Story of Planes Trains and Automobiles
* Other: John Hughes for Adults
* Other: A Tribute to John Candy
* Additional Scenes: Deleted Scene - "Airplane Food" Read more...

Given the presence of both Steve Martin and John Candy, one would expect this John Hughes comedy to be much, much funnier than it is. Certainly it's not for lack of effort on the part of its stars. Martin is an uptight businessman trying to get home from New York for the holidays. But one thing after another gets in his way--most of it having to do with Candy, a boorish but well-meaning boob who takes a liking to him. Together they travel all over the map; no matter how hard Martin tries to shake him, he can't. But Hughes's writing is never as sharp as it should be and this film winds up being only intermittently humorous. --Marshall Fine Read more...

Comedies honoring Thanksgiving are few and far between; in fact that goes for all of film, there just aren't many that put Thanksgiving at the center, and that makes Planes, Trains & Automobiles a rare animal.

While Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a classic and should be in your collection, I'm not sure the Blu-ray release is a must-have. If you already have a previous DVD version, there is very little reason to upgrade. The picture quality is no great

All in all I expected more here, but I do suppose fans will be pleased as this the best Planes, Trains and Automobiles will ever look. Planes, Trains and Automobiles' DTS-HD Master Audio track is a solid improvement over the DVD counterpart, however,


The 'Cars 2' conundrum: Is Mater really Pixar's Jar Jar Binks?

27.06.11

This weekend, I was there for one reason and one reason only: To count the number of planes, trains and automobiles kick the can (for the record, it was eight cars and a boat very unhappy.)

But while I was not in the trailer with a young sweet-wear until full speed on the Lightning McQueen, I can say that I was not the only adult having a hard time getting through the film.
