Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) gets a warm, spoiler-filled Thanksgiving comedy review in the inaugural episode of Do You Even Movie. Henrique Couto and David Denoyer revisit John Hughes’s road movie about Chicago advertising executive Neal Page and shower-curtain-ring salesman Del Griffith, two mismatched travelers stranded by a snowstorm while trying to get home for Thanksgiving.
The hosts follow Neal and Del across grounded flights, a Wichita motel, trains, buses, rental cars and one unforgettable burned-out vehicle. They celebrate Steve Martin’s escalating frustration, John Candy’s comic timing and emotional restraint, the supporting character actors and cameos, and the way the final reveal transforms a chaotic travel comedy into a story about loneliness, generosity and friendship.
Henrique and David also explore John Hughes’s move beyond teen-centered films, the real travel ordeal that inspired the screenplay, and alternate casting possibilities involving Tom Hanks and John Travolta. A major portion of the conversation examines the long original draft and 54 minutes of recovered deleted material, including how trimming scenes changed Del’s characterization and strengthened the theatrical cut.
Alongside production history and favorite moments, the hosts share personal Thanksgiving memories, explain why the film became part of their own holiday tradition, and consider its place among the too-small field of Thanksgiving movies. They close with related recommendations including Dutch and All Nighter while making the case for owning this deeply rewatchable John Hughes classic.
