This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Blistering performances.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

There aren't a lot of Thanksgiving movies, but this is definitely the best!

No teen angst here. This is where Hughes showed he had range, this is all about middle-aged angst. If you can't laugh at one man's hand being stuck between another man's butt cheeks, this movie is not for you. Come on! It has Martin and Candy AND it drives the funny home! Well, part of the way. This movie will make you laugh or your life has been way too cushy. Provided you haven't lived your life in a protective cocoon, this is watchable every 2 - 3 years.

I don't know how to describe the love I have for this movie. It's a rare film that I think we could collectively as a society call a 'perfect comedy' It doesn't matter what your age is, you will be on the floor literally laughing until your stomach hurts.John Candy was one of the great treasures of the past and him paired with Steve Martin is just too perfect for words. It's a film I revisit every year and I sincerely recommend you do the same.

Aglow with luminous comic hijinks.Nearly 30 years since it's release this movie is every bit as funny as it was then. Starring the dynamite duo of Steve Martin and the late-great John Candy "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" is one of the ultimate "Road Movies" as it vividly chronicles the challenges, inconveniences and miseries of vehicular travel (i.e. Planes and Trains and Automobiles). The chemistry between the two of them is an utterly fantastic thing to behold, THEY ARE HILARIOUS TOGETHER, from start to finish they play off each other in a sort of an effortless synergistic manner. The level of humor these two legendary actors create, combined with the stellar writing and directing talents of John Hughes, all adds up to what's one of the funniest movies ever made. Filmed at the height of their talents, this classic comedy isn't dull for a moment and through a winning combination of snappy direction, clever dialog and hysterical sight-gags, Planes, Trains and Automobiles has stood well the test of time and it's reputation as a timeless rib-rattling classic of the highest comedic pedigree remains undiminished. To try and summarize the movie is a waste of time, due to the fact that it boasts so many stand-out scenes and as a collective whole this movie is one of the Holy Grail's of comedy. I myself have been a fan of it since the beginning and have probably seen this movie in upwards of 100 times over the past nearly 3 decades and keep coming back for more, because without the slightest doubt, this movie is funny-funny-funny.And for the cherry on the top..... I've read that when pertaining to both their respective careers Planes, Trains and Automobiles is both Steve Martin and John Candy's favorite movie. Now that's really saying something there.
