A comedy Classic!! - Planes, Trains and Automobiles review by CP Customer
If you have never seen this film - get it now!
I had to write a review on this film because it is one of my favourite films of all time!
Steve Martin plays a hard-working family man who is trying to get home to his family for thanks giving - but against the elements (e.g. bad weather, money etc) he struggles and the journey is both long and eventful. Along the way he meets John Candy who plays a self-employed businessman who adds to Steve Martin's grief with his irritating habits. As they part from each other they keep "bumping" into each other again - and the journey is hilarious.
I would say it is both John Candy and Steve Martins finest performance - and together they are a brilliant comedy pair. Don't think twice about watching this - watch it now!!!
