Today’s film is about a guy trying to reach home for Thanksgiving and I know that it’s March, but the beauty of films is that you can watch them whenever you want, so let’s get crazy and watch it in March. Who will judge us? Nobody! Besides, it’s a cheesy comedy, which some of you may need after the whole week of home office and pretending you really like video conferences. So, let me recommend you a cute production titled “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” and, surprisingly, the main character isn’t a vehicle. He’s a human being named Neal Page (Steve Martin) who’s a guy in a suit and doing some boring stuff at the desk. He’s currently in New York because of a business meeting and he wishes to get back home to Chicago for the upcoming Thanksgiving. The holiday starts in two days and all he needs to do is to take a plane. Easy-peasy. Unfortunately, Neal is a very unlucky guy, because he can’t even catch a cab to the airport and it’s just the beginning of his adventures. As you might be guessing from the title, he will not fly to Chicago that day. Instead, he will meet a quite annoying salesman Del Griffith (John Candy) and those two won’t separate for a long time. It’s one of those classic old comedies that you watch with your family at the weekend. Children love clumsy Del, adults feel for Neal and everybody’s somehow satisfied. Besides, I think duo Martin and Candy are doing a great job together. I adore those guys and their films always warm my heart. So if you’ve missed watching this production, just chill on the sofa and have a good (or sometimes awkward) laugh.
My rating: 6/10
