This is an absolute holiday classic. Just heartfelt fun as Steve Martin and John Candy play the classic odd-couple dynamic in this disaster comedy where everything goes wrong. It’s classic good comedy with a perfect lead pair John Candy really shines as the over-bearing, big-hearted, sympathetic Del Griffith along side the increasingly frustrated Neal Page played by Steve Martin These two giants of comedy absolutely crush it and exude on screen charisma that delights from the first moment to the last
This John Hughes offering is a classic and I think everyone should watch it. Good-hearted comedy, just two guys trying to get home for the holidays. John Candy delivers a brilliant sympathetic performance that makes the viewer invest in his story
Steve Martin is your classic rough straight man to Candy’s comedic role, but in true holiday movie fashion his heart softens and he learns to empathize with his fellow man, giving the audience the warm happy feel ending we all wanted
We don’t often think of Thanksgiving movies, with Christmas right around the corner. But this one goes straight to the top. Just don’t let the kids watch the rental car scene lol salty language.
Great movie, classic comedy, two shining stars. Watch it.
