Movie Review: Planes, Trains and Automobiles

1. Memorable Scenes:

a. The look on John Candy's face when Steve Martin tells him how irritating his conversation is.

b. John Candy speaking to himself when he is left out in the cold.

c. Steve Martin laughing when their rented car is burning.

2. Both the actors give hilarious performances.

But what is this movie about? For sure it is more than comedy. I can sense it. But I was not able to understand it rightly, I think. Well, there is one guy who has his life planned and everything out of the plan does not work well with him. In contrast there is another guy who has friends all over and can get out of any situation. The movie explores the situation when circumstances bring them together for a couple of days. Beyond that I don't see anything else. To me it's a hilarious movie, no doubt, and nothing more.

RATING: 3/5
