Insomniac Movie Marathon: Planes, Trains & Automobiles

I miss John Candy.

Have I said that before? Of course I have. He was an incredible performer and he had depths that were only hinted at.

Anyway, Planes, Trains & Automobiles is a holiday flick, American Thanksgiving to be specific, and tells the story of Neal Page, played by a perfect Steve Martin, an ad executive trying to get home for the holidays and getting stopped at every turn by random chance and, sometimes, Del Griffith (the brilliant John Candy), a shower curtain salesman.

What's Good:

What's not good? Seriously. This is a fun, mildly angry comedy.

Steve Martin does smarmy better than anybody.

John Candy is loud and obnoxiously fun-loving but adds depth that is incredible. There is a moment in this film where Candy breaks my heart. I tear up every time.

What's not so good:

It feels a little long sometimes.

It's great and John Candy was awesome!
