Who else loves this great comedy classic of the 80's? well i do, perhaps the best comedy i've seen! great lines and laughs abound.
Might be John Candy's best and one of Steve Martin's finest flicks.

I have to agree. I have loved this one since seeing it in theatres way back in 1987. Martin and Candy are both terrific in their roles as Neil Page and Dell Griffith, and play off each other with fantastic comic results. It also has a heart-warming ending as befits a holiday movie, perhaps the greatest film ever to be set during Thanksgiving. I always felt that this was director John Hughes' finest work as well.

You're Going The Wrong Way!!! and
The "F-Bomb" laced tirade by Neil (Steve Martin) at the Rental Car Rep played by Edie McClure was classic!!!
I was stiffed by a Rental Car Company at JFK in NYC, and I was extremely upset, and I laced a similar tirade at the Budget Rental Car Rep, however this rep was more accomodating since I threatened to report the incident to the Budget Rental Car Customer Relations Department!!!
This flick was the funniest comedy flick of the '80s!!!

This is a classic flick and one of my personal holiday favs. John Hughes was the man.

Oh man, one of my all time favorite comedy movies. The Steve Martin character reminds me of myself and the John Candy character is like this really irritating person I used to know in high school.
I love when they're still driving the car after it exploded.

Candy's character was just being friendly. I always thought Martin was playing the over stressed ass....except at the end. I think Candy's character gave him a hug wake up call. No offense Funky.
I haven't seen the full movie... but isn't it the one where Jamie Lee Curtis is wearing that awesome German chick outfit!?

I love the scene where John Candy breaks out and sings 'The Flintstones' Theme Song. Oh and we he has to share a bed with Steve Martin. Classic movie.
