I feel you. So incredibly heartbreaking ❤

These two were so good, together. Steve Martin is a master of physical comedy, hurling himself around like a madman, and John Candy brought so much heart to his roles; he's playing the kindest, nicest, most-annoying man in the world.

One of the best comedies of the 80s. John Hughes did so many fantastic films back then Ferris Buelller's Day Off, Pretty In Pink, Uncle Buck, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, The Home Alone films and many more. The plot here lends itself to great comedy scenarios with Steve Martin as the straight guy, and John Candy as the clown. Funniest part is when the car catches fire. I saw this at the cinema on release, and the audience were nearly choking with laughter. A very poignant ending when we realise Del's wife has died and he is in fact homeless. A shame too that John Candy died so young at only 44 and indeed John Hughes himself died very young only 59. Still he left a great legacy of films, of which this was one of his best.

It’s also a shame we didn’t get more Steve Martin and John Candy duos. The one we did get is undeniably wonderful, though.

That profanity laced tirade at the car rental counter is what convinced Steve Martin to take the part in this movie.

Great reactions. Great Christmas movies are "It's A Wonderful Life", "Miracle On 34th Street" & "The Bishop's Wife". You'll love them all. Great way to get into the holiday spirit.

Hi Jordan & Chandra!😊 That jump scare with Chandra and the dog in the truck was pretty funny. This is a John Hughes film that seems to get overlooked sometimes. He made such films as "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "The Breakfast Club" among others. He also wrote "Home Alone". His films are normally comedies that all take place in Chicago. In this one they were going to Chicago. My favorite holiday comedy for this time of the year is "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" (1989)! A traditional Thanksgiving meal for my family would be a whole cooked turkey stuffed with homemade stuffing, mashed potatoes, hot rolls and butter, peas, and cranberry jelly. Great reactions to this very fun buddy travel film, Maplenut Kids!!!🎬👏👏👏👏 Happy holidays to both of you!🎄🎄❄❄🎅🏻🎅🏻

I love this film growing up. I lived 10 minutes from the car running into the El Rancho motel in Gurnee Illinois. Surprisingly it it still in business to this day. You don’t see many Motels anymore. The part you’re going the wrong way was filmed on route 41 highway going to Illinois and Wisconsin. Back then used to be a lot of farmland and not much anymore. In Wisconsin border there are still some farmland. My favorite scene is the f bomb at the airport. The lady was in another John Hughes film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. another classic John Hughes film

Steve Martin started as a standup comedian, then wrote for the smothers brothers comedy show and frequent host for Saturday night live which is why hes so good at the physical comedy.

_The Shop Around the Corner_ is the Platonic ideal of a Christmas movie. Pair it with _It's a Wonderful Life_ and you've got yourself a Jimmy Stewart Christmas charm double feature.

That one second john candy as the devil....I can see Steve martin driving in his car parodying van halens song running with the devil: " ......🎶running with John caaaanndddyyyyy"🎶.......

Through this whole movie, everytime Chandra laughed, I kept getting triggered with a feeling of familiar. It was driving me crazy. I was finally able to put my finger on it. Julia Styles.

Two strong Christmas recommendations for you would have to be "It's A Wonderful Life" and "White Christmas"😁

John Candy was also a barrel of laughs in "Who's Harry Crumb?". Have fun, and happy holidays!

Scrooged with Bill Murray is a classic. A fairly new one is Fatman with Mel Gibson. It's a different kinda santa Claus movie but it's awesome. Peace

Traditionally it is when the wife serves enough food to feed 10 times more people than needed. This apparently is no accident as it's been going on for over 30 years now. All will leave with enough leftovers to last them almost a week. This year will be no different because she's been planning the meal for over a week and last night told me what was on the agenda. When she's sees her entire family eating a feast she has prepared, she is ecstatic ..... end of story. I think there are alot of Moms that do the same.

Don't know if it's from the laughter or the embarrassment but her face turned beet red from the dog in back of the truck jump scare🤭

Hahaha a little bit of both I think ❤

Steve Martin is great in "Mixed Nuts", a Christmastime ensemble comedy about the people answering the phones at a suicide prevention hotline.

The man at the beginning racing for the cab was Kevin Bacon.

Always a great reaction, thanks! You seemed to enjoy this one, so I'd like to recommend the movie Summer Rental. It released two years before this movie and stars John Candy, as well. It has a similar vibe, so I think you'd enjoy it.

Del had been homeless since his wifes death. He couldn't stand being in the same house or even town since she passed. He was always trying to outrun the grief. Neil probably ended up getting Del a job at his company based on how good of a salesman he had been during their trip. The ending is actually dark and bright, but they leave it to you to figure it out.

I watch reactions to this movie all year but have been watching a few new reactions per day in the past few days. Guaranteed laughs every time. I couldn’t stop laughing if I tried!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

If ya'll like Steve Martin and are readers, I recommend some of his books. He's actually a very skilled writer, and not just for an actor. Picasso at the Lapin Agile, The Pleasure of My Company, and Shop Girl are his big ones.

"You shared a motel room with a complete stranger? Are you crazy?" "Not yet. But I'm getting there." Happy Thanksgiving! 😎 🦃 Fun Fact: Film debut of Dylan Baker and Susan Isaacs. Turkey Dinner Fact: After the credits, Neal's (Steve Martin) boss is still at his desk analyzing the ads, his Thanksgiving dinner sitting on his desk. New House Fact: Neal's (Steve Martin) house was also a set built from scratch, consisting of seven rooms, and taking five months to complete. It ended up costing $100,000, which angered Paramount executives, and caused turmoil on the set. Crazy Rant Fact: The Marathon Car Rental scene is exactly one minute long from the time Steve Martin starts his tirade to the time the attendant ends the scene. In that sixty seconds, the "F" word is used nineteen times. The film would've easily been rated PG or PG-13 by the MPAA, if it weren't for this one scene.

Barking Dogs Fact: "My Dogs Are Barking" is an American idiom. The word "dogs" means feet and the word "barking" means hurts. The expression "my dogs are barking" can be traced to cartoonist Tad Dorgan, who worked for the New York Evening Journal and was popularized throughout the world by American servicemen. I'm adding that to the trivia from here on out. I hope that you had a Blessed Thanksgiving too! Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍

In the deleted scenes the guy who robbed them was a pizza delivery guy that del didn't tip. Neil mentions it at breakfast when he says "maybe when you went into my wallet for pizza"

Although not American, I have many American friends. In the US, thanksgiving is more important than Christmas.

A perfect holidays movie!

You two are so cute. I graduated high school in 1965 and you would fit in perfectly:)

I never cared about the lives of celebrities even after hearing they were having personal problems or sick. Even after they would pass away i wasn’t affected much but after John Candy died i felt sorrow for a celebrity for the first time because he lightened up my childhood in the 80s and early 90’s. If you really like this film you will love Uncle Buck, Canadian Bacon and Only the lonely

You’re in luck since you wanted the movie to keep going to see more of them together… last year a new 4k HD DVD was released with over an hour of deleted scenes and edits added back to the movie ! You can order it online now ! 😊

There are deleted scenes If you want more, some of them actually tells more of the story. There's a scene were both of them are in a diner & Del has a monologue of what he had been doing after the loss of his wife, but sadly they never filmed that scene & that sucks because it's a really sad backstory on the monologue, but it's well written & John Candy would have made that monologue great! But I guess why that one was never filmed is because that scene would have most likely been cut out as well.

Great reaction, I really enjoyed it. As for Christmas movies I highly recommend 'A Christmas Story' for a comedy, 'It's A Wonderful Life' and 'A Miracle on 34th Street' for heartwarming dramas and of course 'Die Hard' and 'Lethal Weapon' if you want action movies with Christmas undertones and even 'Rocky' for a drama that could be considered a holiday movie since story takes place from Thanksgiving through new year's eve.

The Muppet Christmas Carol is remains the best version of the Dickens story on film, in my opinion. I would also suggest Love Actually for more light-hearted holiday comedy.

"A Christmas Story" is the GOAT! 🤘🎅❤️

I love this movie! It's my traditional Thanksgiving movie every year! No matter how many times I see this movie, the end always gets me. Another fun Thanksgiving movie is Dutch starring Ed O' Neil from Modern Family and Married with Children.... There are so many Christmas movies for you to watch I'm sure a lot of people recommend it to you. But I think you'd get a kick out of The Ref starring Denis Leary. I don't think anyone has ever done a reaction to that movie yet.

That's how Houdini died, you know! Still use that quote to this day. Thanks for sharing. Peace, all 💕

For a good Christmas movie I highly recommend The Ref. It's my personal favorite Christmas movie.

Awesome fun , you 2 have wonderful laughs 😂

You can tell John Hughes was from Chicago -- trouble at O'Hare equals trouble for EVERYONE.......

Another great movie to watch around Thanksgiving is Scent of a Woman which stars Al Pacino, Chris O’Donnell and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

I have watchdd this movie so many times.. just thought of this so.. neil page lived a life of good luck and good things happening to him.. blessed by god.. now i see how much dealing with dell and all the snags would kill him... neils family ..house and life is the top achievement if every man

Everybody misses the post-credit scene.

My all time fav for Steve Martin and John Candy movie.

This was originally written where Neals character was thought to be cheating on hus wife. Hence all the phone calls too his wife and her asking where are you? She was relieved to meet Dell at the end.

There were a lot of scenes and sub plots taken out before this movie hit theaters. One was Neil's wife suspecting he was cheating on her... again.. becuse the reason Neil needed to catch an early flight home in the first place was a past infidelity and he didnt want her to assume it was happening again. Also, there was a scene were Neil and Dep go to jail after getting in a fight in front of the highway patrolman... which is where del gets the black eye he has when hes in the big rig and says "our ship has come in". There was also a scene where Neil and Del go get a coffee after he says he doesnt hsve a home and Del tells him his story in more detail. Theres a video on YT called "The Lost Version of PT&A that goes into more detail, and the recent Blu Ray includes some deleted scenes

As with any film, there were many parts that were cut, including entire scenes. The thief in the hotel was the guy who delivered pizza and the beers (which soaked a spot in the bed), so it wasn't as random as one might think. Del only tipped $1 on $19, which is a low tip for delivery. Neil's wife didn't understand why it would take so long to get back, or why he was in other cities, so she thought he was cheating on him. That's why she showed concern at the end (and why there were so many calls), and why she had relief when she found out Del was real (and a guy). Something that's easy to overlook is that if they left Saint Louis during daylight, they should have made it to Chicago that same evening/night. The only state they would drive through is Illinois. Nowadays, it could be between 4-5 hours, but back then, perhaps a tad longer with fewer interstate highways. But the trooper who pulled them over has a WISCONSIN patch on his coat. They OVERSHOT Chicago.by driving northward into Wisconsin! When Del later says they should be there in 3 hours, that means they overshot by most of the state of Wisconsin, and that led to an extra 6 hours of travel. It's nice to see or hear details about the extra footage/scenes/lines, but it would have slowed the movie down a bit too much and messed up the timing. So I agree that the movie is rather perfectly paced and made rather well. I wish it was more family-friendly in the middle, but Steve Martin insisted on that scene where he said 18 F-bombs in a minute or he wouldn't do the movie. It's a great Thanksgiving movie, especially when it's on TV (which cleans it up a bit to make it more family-friendly).
