John Candy is the only person who could have made Del Griffith a likeable character.

the short cameo with Kevin Bacon racing Steve Martin for the cab actually reappears in another movie that Kevin was filming at the same time, titled She's Having A Baby, and in that movie it shows Kevin's perspective of that same race! this was my dad's favorite John Candy movie.

We watched this every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas It's good to see other people enjoy this film. You'd like, Uncle Buck with John Candy, it's another classic movie.

Thanks for the reaction, Addie. RIP John Candy. Your comedy brightened a lot of days and you are missed.

His F bombs were hilarious.

Both of their facial expressions throughout are perfect. John Candy when he gets his shoes off cracks me up every time. Even more than when he's startled by the door being yanked open.

Movies like Planes, Trains & Automobiles are exactly why there are reacriin channels. I grew up on films like this (in theaters and VHS). Such an amazing movie. My favorite moment is Del and Neal have just started driving in the rental Del: I am so glad i didn't kill you Neal: (in a pitched voice) Do you know how happy I would be if you had. I wish these 2 had been able to make another movie together. Their chemistry was fantastic.

I'm a Brit who's worked for myself all my adult life but when I was 14/15 I had a 'real' job and ran a video rental shop for a guy where I ended up with an early timecoded promo copy of 'Planes ,Trains and Automobiles' that ended up as one of my fave objects I owned because it brought so many hours of pure uncut laughter for so many ppl in my life ! To this day the memory of laid watching it for the first time by myself on a school night at 15 with John Candy's relentless totally sincere overly optirmistic delivery of " Gee , I've never seen a guy get picked up by the testicles before " To this day was probably the hardest I have ever laughed alone without been on acid or fungi ! I LOVE this film and have seen it so many times I could literally take every part in it lol

You need watch Uncle Buck, The Great Outdoors and Delirious for some more great John Candy movies

John Hughes has that uncanny ability to play a few simple notes at the right time and manage to pull your heartstrings right out

The scene at the car rental is what got this movie an R rating.

Loved your reaction ! So happy to see you block out the F-bombs. They really didn't need to use them. This is always a great classic movie. Love your nails.!

You'll love *John Candy* in *(Uncle Buck)* with *Macaulay Culkin* & also *(The Great Outdoors)* with *Dan Aykroyd*

one of the best parts of the movie is when they're going the wrong way on the highway and encounter those trucks when he looks lover at Del he sees Del in a devil costume laughing maniacally

Hi Addie!😊 Did you catch the three Ferris Bueller cameos Addie? Neal's buddy at work in the beginning of the film is Ferris' dad. The announcer at the airport is the teacher that says "Bueller, Bueller, Bueller?". The woman at the car rental counter Neal is rude to is Principal Rooney's secretary, Grace. People carried a lot more cash in their wallets in the 80s. Many businesses didn't even accept credit cards yet back then. Great reactions to this sweet buddy holiday comedy, Addie!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

I loooooove this movie. John Candy is so endearing. The next time you watch this you’ll cry.

John Candy should've been nominated for a Oscar

It's such a rare movie that can get hysterical, rib-aching laughter, and also bring us to the verge of tears.

John Candy is amazing, watch everything he is in. Seriously.

Martin and Candy both started in comedy as writers and sketch comedy, comedy films... but they both became versatile actors as you see in the dramatic moments in this film. Check out more of John in The Great Outdoors with Dan Ackroyd and definitely Uncle Buck. You might remember you saw him at the end of Home Alone too! Candy is also great in detective comedy Who's Harry Crumb, and a small but memorable dramatic role in JFK.

OMG! Of the hundreds of times I've watched this classic, I never knew there was a post credit scene....THANK YOU! (Great reaction BTW!)

I love that Addie is still giving us reactions during the thanksgiving period. Ty for giving us content to watch on our days off and hopefully not taking away time from your own thanksgiving plans.

So many funny moments in this movie, and such a heart-warming ending. Love John Hughes movies. ❤

Addie’s facial expressions while John Candy was “clearing his sinuses” in the hotel were priceless 😂

Addie - I'm sure others have said it by now, but it bears repeating... this and "Uncle Buck" are arguably the best of John Candy, and it's another John Hughes movie as well. Would highly recommend for the channel.

Classic film. It's hilarious when it needs to be, and it brings the waterworks when it needs to...it's the ultimate Thanksgiving feels movie.

Great reaction! Steve Martin is funny as usual and i luv and miss John Candy ❤rip. Very heart warming movie and is a great watch around the holidays. Good choice for thanksgiving season and look forward to the next movie. Luv ya Addie ❤️💛

He didnt just stay for Thanksgiving. They had a huge spare bedroom which became dels Griffith's bedroom. Neal page managed to get del a job where he works, nothing big but del was hsppy with it. Eventually del met a girl there and he re-married and they bought a home of their own just a couple streets from Neals place so they saw eaxh other pretty much daily, olus Neals kids had grown up seeing Del as a kinda uncle figure, so they stayed closed together. Del and his wife went on to have a child of their own which they named after Neal.

I watched this for the first time ever last night. Great movie!

Perfect classic movie. I have to say the thing about getting your sleeves caught while driving ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME😂Well it wasnt me driving but I was sitting behind the guy who was driving who managed to have the same thing happened to him. We were on the interstate and I woke up the guy front seat passenger who was sleeping. This guy panicked and grabbed the wheel. Lucky we made it to the side of the road. This must have happened to others how else did they get the idea for the movie! Well I'm a train Engineer and I can say passenger trains do NOT break down like that, but its a movie right.

John Candy had some true greats like this one and "Cool Runnings", "Uncle Buck", "Spaceballs", "Home Alone"

I've seen waaaay too many people react to this one :) You are the first to realize that the semi they were riding in was refrigerated. After Neil said "as long as the heater works".

One of my favorite DVDs. It's the best Thanksgiving movie ever. John Hughes uses a lot of the same actors and did many films with John Candy. My favorite scene is when they are caught between the two semitrucks. Steve turns to John and he is dressed as the devil. John Hughes recycles the gag in, "Home Alone." While Kevin's mom is at the airport. She exclaims, "I'll sell my soul to the devil to get home." It's at that moment is the cue for John Candy to enter the scene. The kid that breaks into the room and robs them. It was part of a scene that ended up on the cutting room floor. He was the pizza delivery guy. Then decides to come back and rob them. ✌️❤️🌹

Such a heartwarming movie and adorable reaction. Hope your holidays are fabulous. 🤗

The man is certainly dedicated. Got his Thanksgiving dinner there and everything.

Great reaction Addie like always, I love this movie i haven't seen it in a long time, John Hughes at the peak of his powers, with two masterful comedians at theirs Martin and Candy. There are some fun-facts about it, this movie is inspired by John Hughes’s own hellish trip from New York City to Chicago. Before he became a filmmaker, Hughes worked as a copywriter for the Leo Burnett advertising agency in Chicago. One day he had an 11 a.m. presentation scheduled in New York City on a Wednesday, and planned to return home on a 5 p.m. flight that same evening. Winter winds forced all flights to Chicago to be canceled that night, so he stayed in a hotel. A snowstorm in Chicago the next day continued the delays. The plane he eventually boarded ended up being diverted to Denver. Then Phoenix. Hughes didn’t make it back until Monday. John Candy arrived with lots of exercise equipment in tow. On the first day of shooting, the crew brought in treadmills, weights, and other exercise equipment for Candy to use in his hotel suite. Martin said Candy “never went near any of it once.” McClurg who is probably best known as Grace, Principal Rooney’s secretary in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, played the St. Louis car rental employee upon whom Neal dropped 18 F-bombs. For the first few takes, McClurg simply raised her finger and had a standard phone conversation with a customer. Then Hughes told her to improvise talking on the phone about Thanksgiving. In the scene that goes back and forth between Neal trying to sleep next to Del clearing his sinuses and Neal’s watching TV alone in their bed, she is somehow watching She’s Having a Baby, which wouldn’t be released in theaters until February of the following year. Kevin Bacon stars in that movie, and made a cameo in this film as the guy who out-hustles Neal in getting a cab. Some people believe Bacon who was officially listed in the credits as “Taxi Racer” was playing his She’s Having a Baby character, Jake, in that scene. Another cameo was the future Star Trek: Voyager star Jeri Ryan that made her acting debut in this movie. She was one of the passengers on the bus ride and couldn’t help but laugh at Martin and Candy’s antics. In the original ending, Del followed Neal all the way home. In the train scene, where Neal thinks about Del and laughs, Martin didn’t know the camera was rolling. To get the new ending he wanted, Hughes and editor Paul Hirsch went back to look for footage they previously didn’t think would be used. Hughes had kept the cameras rolling in between takes on the Chicago train, without his lead’s knowledge, while Martin was thinking about his next lines. Hughes thought Martin had a “beautiful expression” on his face in that unguarded moment, which he inserted into the film. A version of this story ran in 2017; it has been updated for 2022. Keep up the good work.

This movie is timeless. Despite it being as old as me and the world has changed so much, the messege is still really powerful

When this was first released in theatres my dad & I saw it 3x and we couldn't stop laughing. A perfect comedy with a Dynamic Duo of o 2 of our greatest comedians. Johns Hughes & Candy are both sorely missed. Steve Martin's f-bomb tirade is *chef's kiss* I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Ads - great reaction as usual :D

Congratulations on finding this one! This is GenX's Thanksgiving movie the same way Love, Actually is a Christmas movie for lots of people of all ages. Steve Martin is a genius, John Candy was just as hilarious and an unfailingly NICE man. This is reportedly Steve's favorite movie of his own.

At 7:00 you said "Is he [John] going to start a fire at some point?" At 15:38 you said "Something's going to happen with their car though --with their luck." You were right on the money both times. You predicted both things. You are prescient. As a newbie to your channel I like your reactions. (You must have heard that a time or two.)

R.I.P To John Hughes & John Candy, Still Miss You Both, Always

Candy in Cool Runnings, Martin in Roxanne are top. Other underrated holiday flicks are Scent of a Woman, With Honors, & Untamed Heart

Just noticed the lock on their motel room was heavily scarred- probably the thief's go-to room.

Addie, there's an old Steve Martin/Michael Cain comedy called "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" that you might like. But, a great movie you'll LOVE is "Uncle Buck" that will make you fall in love with John Candy. (You'll understand why every Canadian's heart sank when John passed away)

Such a good movie….I’m betting you will really like this one

For the best of John Candy check out his work on the show SCTV, easy to find on KZread. For early Steve Martin, seek out his early stand-up

Another really well done comedy Thanksgiving/Xmas movie is "Dutch"

I lived and grew up in Illinois. I used to live 10 minutes from the motel where they run the car into. On route 41 is where they did the scene you’re going the wrong way. That was near the motel. The El Rancho motel is still in business to this day

14:03 Truly one of the funniest rants in any movie ever. 🤣🤣🤣

Uncle Buck, uNcLe BuCk, UNCLE BUCK! 😍 Forget Patreon polls & voting, jus watch it. Like PT&A, it's Candy at his absolute finest! ❤️ We love & miss U big man 💔

For some quality Steve Martin comedies, I suggest "The Jerk", "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid", "The Man With Two Brains", and "L.A. Story". For John Candy goodness, try "Uncle Buck" and "Who's Harry Crumb?".

I always like to think that in his Cameo, Kevin Bacon was playing his character from "Quicksilver" (which was made a year earlier), Smilin' Jack Casey. If you haven't seen Quicksilver, I think you'd like it. And it has one of the _best_ pieces of dialog of any movie. S P O I L E R A L E R T ---------------------------------- Gabe Kaplan: "I thought only Jews did guilt?" Jack Casey: "You do... we do shame."
