vitaniNov 20, 2023here’s how we can still get john candy an oscar
zoë rose bryantFeb 15, 2014The Jerk and Uncle Buck as the oldest looking teenagers to ever star in a John Hughes coming-of-age-road-trip film. A taxi race with Kevin fuckin' Bacon. The first time you see John Candy's facial expressions. A bitchy flight attendant. A semi-boring sounding Ben Stein.…

oleffNov 8, 2020Is this the only thanksgiving movie known to man
laurenNov 19, 2025First time watch and it already means so much to me. In the scene where Neal finally breaks and berates Del, the subtle things John Candy is doing, the way he looks at the ground or the change in his inflection, is nothing short of a masterclass. Movie also made me…

idk they seemed kinda gay
Colin Williams lovedPlanes, Trains and AutomobilesA hilarious and compelling odyssey about the importance of kindness and friendship. Feel good without being cringey. Comedy and emotion are balanced beautifully. John Candy and Steve Martain give the best performances of their career. Easily the greatest comedy of all time.
Caltrop Star lovedPlanes, Trains and AutomobilesOne of the best seasonal movies to watch with the family. Very funny and John Candy is brilliant as Del. Steve Martin plays a great straight man to John candy’s character. Very heart felt moments too.

Jollfoogfl lovedPlanes, Trains and AutomobilesI had such high expectations the first time because I had heard so many things. So I didn’t like it that much. After rewatching with a clear mind it’s an obvious classic. Going even past the comedy. The first time I thought it was about changin Del. But this time I understood the point of the movie…

A cynical Steve Martin is stuck traveling with a jolly John Candy while they try to make it home in time for the holiday after their flight is cancelled. Hilarious to the core, & downright emotional at some points. Truly a must see. Watch with your family around Thanksgiving.
Damien likedPlanes, Trains and AutomobilesI mean it’s two comedic legends but I think it was just okay. It has some fun parts but it’s pretty slow and not that funny for the most part. I didn’t grow up with it but sorry I was mostly bored with it. Wife and I got more irritated at things than laughed at them lol.
Jojo likedPlanes, Trains and Automobiles“Well think what you want about me I’m not changing. I like..I like me..” What a fun movie to watch on thanksgiving! One bed trope! A very naturally funny comedy, all the shenanigans made me like oh god what’s gonna happen next lol. 6.5/10 🦃

It is perfectly cast and soundly constructed, and all else flows naturally. Steve Martin and John Candy don't play characters; they embody themselves.

Mr. Martin and Mr. Candy are an easy twosome to watch even with marginal material, though, and the film is never worse than slow.
