I discovered this movie a little bit later in my life, but ever since my eyes laid upon this gem it's been a staple of Thanksgiving each and every year. It's funny, light-hearted, and I feel that's it's a nice departure from the last set of movies I've chosen for our monthly movie club as it doesn't go too deep into the abstract or philosophical. Hey! You're boy loves getting deep but sometimes, especially after traveling half-across the world, I think I'm gonna need something a bit on the lighter side to get back in the saddle haha 😇
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (watch trailer)
Starring: Steve Martin, John Candy
Director: John Hughes
Genre: Comedy, Buddy film
Summary: "It tells the story of Neal, an uptight marketing executive, and Del, a well-meaning but annoying salesman, who become travel companions when their flight is diverted, and embark on a three-day odyssey of misadventures trying to reach Chicago in time for Neal's Thanksgiving Day dinner with his family."
Now I'm not usually a comedy guy in terms of the movies I watch, but this film here really nails it. And I've always mentioned to people but if ya ever wanted a glimpse into the type of person I am on the inside, I am very much Steve Martin's character 🤣 (though I may not show it much haha).
