John Hughes took a break from teenagers to tackle adulthood in this warm and funny comedy featuring Steve Martin & John Candy, who play Neal Page and Del Griffith, two men trying to get home from work for the Thanksgiving Holiday, but instead meet with mounting frustration as everything that can go wrong does, threatening to make these men either bitter enemies, or close friends.
Both Steve Martin & John Candy give fine performances, both in the slapstick comedy and heart-warming drama, which strikes the right balance between the two. Funniest scene may be in the car rental office, between Martin and costar Edie McClurg; profanity with a purpose at least! And it ends exactly the way viewer was hoping!
