Planes, Trains & Automobiles
Available on Channel 4, Prime Video, Paramount+
Steve Martin and John Candy are a mismatch made in comedy heaven in a road movie that busts guts and seatbelts in equal measure. Martin is the ad man desperate to get home for the holidays who finds himself lumbered with Candy's oafish but well-meaning fellow traveller. Not even writer/director John Hughes' sentimental streak can slow down the constant traffic of verbal and visual gags.
