Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

I don't want to admit this, but I've somehow never seen today's movie. How have I avoided it for so long? The only answer I could think of when pressed to answer is that "The title always sounded educational or something." Planes, Trains and Automobiles is known to most as the classic 1987 John Hughes film, but I think it used to be a slogan for a local hobby shop, which might have soured the thought of watching it. I really have no excuse, though. I can't believe no one introduced me to this, and I can't believe that I never rented it on my own.

I loved this movie! Anthony and I were laughing so hard the entire time. There was even a point where I started crying, I was laughing so hard. Steve Martin and John Candy were so perfect. It was sort of corny at times, especially with the soundtrack, but it somehow just made it even better. The acting felt so natural, and even though the comedy was pretty over the top, it just felt totally plausible at points. I really can't believe how great this movie was, and that I never saw it before. I needed a good laugh, and this was beyond perfect for me.
