Description
All Neal Page (Steve Martin) wants to do is make it home from a business trip in New York City and spend Thanksgiving with his family in Chicago. Instead, he finds himself rerouted from New York's La Guardia Airport to Wichita, Kansas. With no other options, Neal decides to share a room in a fleabag hotel with Del Griffith (John Candy), a shower-curtain-ring salesman and fellow stranded traveler. Although Neal finds Del to be a buffoon, he just can't seem to get away from him. To make matters worse, all their efforts to get back to Chicago fail as trains break down and rental cars catch on fire. Along the way they encounter crazy cabbies, redneck truck drivers, and oversexed bus passengers. John Hughes's (SIXTEEN CANDLES, THE BREAKFAST CLUB) first film to feature adults after his success with teen films features fine performances from Martin and Candy. Kevin Bacon, who appeared in Hughes's next film, SHE'S HAVING A BABY, makes a small but humorous appearance, as does Edie McClurg, known for her role as the high school secretary in FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF.

"...An effective nightmarish comedy....Steve Martin and John Candy repeatedly recall a contemporary Laurel & Hardy..."

This film is comedic genius!

Martin and Candy were never better than they are in this film. Every scene in is fantastic and hilarious. You obviously have the classic scenes 'those aren't pillows', Martin trying to hire a car at the airport and the both of them sharing a car before it ends up going on fire.

When you look at the so called comedies Martin makes nowadays it is pretty safe to say that this was his last great performance.

I have lost count of the amount of times I have watched this film but the one thing that amazes me is that no matter how many times you watch it you still laugh at the same scenes.

Its a shame that Martin and Candy never got to make any more films as they played off each other perfectly and maybe thats what makes the film so special.
