Planes, Trains and Automobiles

[Shinobi]

I personally only viewed this film a couple of days ago. It was made in 1987 (i think i'm not 100% sure) and i think it is a classic! My friends were talking about it and how it is such a great movie so i decided to watch it. I also decided to ask my parents if they know the film at all. Well to my suprise as soon as i mentioned it both of my parents actually exploded into laughter, and through the giggles were trying to explain the scenes they were laughing about! The funny thing is, my Mum doesn't watch comedys, and when she does, it has to be a [b]great[/b] comedy for her to watch!. I later found out that it was both one of their favrouite films ever! So we all decided to watch it.

I myself found it hilarious also. I overall thought it was an all round great movie! The wierd thing was, it had a unique script (and if i was told about this script i would never think it would work). Planes, Train and Automobiles is unique in the sence that when it is funny it is hilarious, when it is sad it is heartbreaking and when it is stupid it is overly stupid. I would ave thought this was a simple plan to desaster however, i was proved wrong. This simple plan made an amazing film which i extremley enjoyed!

So thoughts, has anyone seen this film? Did you like it/dislike it? If so, why? Any main aspects you enjoyed the most?

I love any movie that has John candy in it, and steve martin did a great job as well.

I just find the concept of being followed around the country by someone who's incredibly disgusting and annoying is a great concept seeing as how it could just as easyly happen to you.

I thought planes, trains, and automobiles was a great flick, if you're looking for another good Candy movie try Uncle Buck

I find that in all movies that the late John Candy were in was a huge laugh riot. Planes, Trains, and automobiles was very funny and I loved it. Also John Candy was good in Spaceballs. Anyways Planes,Trains, and Automobiles was and still is in my opinion a very funny movie. I heard from a good friend of mine that this movie had recieved a huge laugh when it was in the theatres. I can see that happen too.
