All Neal Page (Steve Martin) wants to do is make it home from a business trip in New York City and spend Thanksgiving with his family in Chicago. Instead, he finds himself rerouted from New York's La Guardia Airport to Wichita, Kansas. With no other options, Neal decides to share a room in a fleabag hotel with Del Griffith (John Candy), a shower-curtain-ring salesman and fellow stranded traveler. Although Neal finds Del to be a buffoon, he just can't seem to get away from him. To make matters worse, all their efforts to get back to Chicago fail as trains break down and rental cars catch on fire. Along the way they encounter crazy cabbies, redneck truck drivers, and oversexed bus passengers. John Hughes's (SIXTEEN CANDLES, THE BREAKFAST CLUB) first film to feature adults after his success with teen films features fine performances from Martin and Candy. Kevin Bacon, who appeared in Hughes's next film, SHE'S HAVING A BABY, makes a small but humorous appearance, as does Edie McClurg, known for her role as the high school secretary in FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF.

Customer Reviews
This movie extrapolates all the horrible experiences that befall those of us who travel on business. The bathroom scene in particular brings back memories of a shared room during a trade show a few years ago. Arrrggghhh! Rough language makes this not a good choice for the kids¿for the rest of us, some serious laughs await.

A classic comedy/holiday movie from a couple of masters. Trying to get home for the holidays has never been more entertaining or heart felt. A movie that you can watch and enjoy again, and again.

This is one of the funniest movies ever made! Both Steve Martin and John Candy give great performances in a movie that has become a classic.

This movie is about to tell you there are people out there in this world (even though just a movie I know), but it will tell you between rich & poor, their lives so different when its come to family, money....., so enjoy life no matter how different you are :).
