One of the best John Candy performances ever! Thank you for the laughs. You are truly missed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A worthy upgrade of one of the all time greatest holiday movies *by O***K on Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2010* When I first saw this movie about twenty years ago, I was just knocked out by how perfect it was, with the very funny Steve Martin and the late great John Candy getting the most out of John Hughes's brilliant script.Hughes was very clever in writing a script that had so much humor wrapped around an incredibly touching core story, because those brief moments of seriousness are all the more powerful.The story in brief is that Steve Martin (character name Neil Page) has been working away from home for an extended period and runs into an endless string of transportation woes trying to return to his home in the Chicago area.He incidentally runs into John Candy (character name Dell Griffith), a gregarious, annoying, chatty traveling salesman.Did I mention that Dell seems to have a hint of loneliness about him?Dell joins Neil by trying to help him in his quest to get back home, but all manner of problems arise, such as foul weather diverting their flight, train breakdowns, and (funniest of all) a missing rental car.Watch for the very funny Edie McClurq in the famous scene with that missing rental car.Neil would rather ditch the annoying Dell and go it alone, but somehow he winds up in all manner of incredibly funny situations with him, including the one that gave this special edition its name that is honestly one of the funniest in film history.As I said, this is a comedy, but there are some serious moments that are only enhanced by the humor, including the one near the end that I consider the climax of the story.I won't spoil it for you, but it is the main reason that I look at this as something so much more than a funny movie.You'll laugh, and (yes, corny, I know) you'll cry, and you won't mind doing it, either.This movie is just THAT good.An interesting personal observation I have is that - just as with the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" - all the people I know of who have seen it love it.I have yet to hear from anyone who did not like it.I also wanted to briefly detail the extra features this has over the stock and stripped down original DVD release.First, the original release only had the movie and the trailer...nothing else.This special edition has some extra features, including:1) Getting There is Half the Fun: The Story of Planes Trains and Automobiles - a very nice interview with Candy, Martin, and John Hughes about the making of the movie, plus some of the cast and crew talking about the entire process.2) Deleted Scene - "Airplane Food" - This one runs for about five minutes, and it has some humor, but I can definitely see why they chose to edit it out for the finished product. I still enjoyed it for the bit of extra interplay between Martin and Candy.3) John Hughes for Adults - a very good tribute to director/writer John Hughes4) A Tribute to John Candy - MAJOR kudos to the DVD producers for adding this moving tip of the hat to the real star of this movie. Even now, the casting directors nearly choke up on camera talking about his incredible performance, especially that key scene I mentioned above.Also, this is mixed in full Dolby Digital 5.1 sound, so the airplanes passing Steve Martin as he stomps down the runway really sound terrific, among other things.The only thing really missing from this is a commentary track, but since Candy and Hughes are now both deceased, the chances for that are very remote indeed.Considering how glad I was to have the tributes to both men, I happily trade the commentary for the recognition of both for their great talent.Anyone who has not seen this movie before really owes it to himself (or herself) to buy this one, since you will want to watch this over again through the years; it is just that good.Anyone who has already seen it would do well to get this version, as it will probably be definitive until a Blu-Ray comes out.Trust me, you won't regret this one, folks! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite John Candy movies *by E***L on Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2024* Just a good and funny movie --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/1823498-planes-trains-and-automobiles](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/1823498-planes-trains-and-automobiles) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
