Movie Reviews

Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Jason DiamondPlanes, Trains and Automobiles is the ultimate Thanksgiving film: John Hughes understood that it's all about the buildup. No matter if your journey is filled with near-death experiences, cars going up in flames, punches to the face and other disasters – getting to enjoy Thanksgiving with family and friends make the odyssey worth it. Everything else is just turkey.
Time Out - 10/10 by Derek AdamsEssentially, it's the stars' keenly observed nuances of character that make this comedy amiable enough.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertIt is perfectly cast and soundly constructed, and all else flows naturally. Steve Martin and John Candy don't play characters; they embody themselves.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Hal HinsonWhat John Hughes, who wrote, directed and produced the film, has done here is make a weirdly inventive, off kilter comedy out of the horrors of modern travel. And in the process, he's also managed to make the funniest road movie since Lost in America.
IGN DVD - 9/10 by R. L. ShafferA surprisingly powerful, and incredibly funny, little movie led by two terrific performances and John Hughes' razor sharp script.
Flick Filosopher - 9/10 by MaryAnn JohansonIt's the pathos under the boisterous, noisy comedy that helps fuel its continuing popularity today.
Apollo Guide - 9/10 by Brian WebsterHughes has written and directed (he also produced) a perfectly balanced comedy that squeezes every last laugh out of a concept so simple you wouldn't think it could possibly succeed.
United Press International - 9/10 by Cathy BurkeThe film barrels along with a bumbling zeal, but it's comedy at its most predictable.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 8/10 by Marc LeeWith its deft blend of hilarity and humanity, Planes, Trains and Automobiles is Hughes' most satisfying work.
New Times - 8/10 by Luke Y. ThompsonJohn Hughes at the peak of his powers, with two masterful comedians at theirs.
