I really hate this film.....

BECAUSE EVERY TIME I SEE IT, IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY AND THEN I WANT TO DANCE, BOOGIE WOOGIE, DO SOMERSAULTS AND BACKFLIPS, POP AND LOCK AND EVEN A TWIRL AND A FAME JUMP OR TWO BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE I'M BUILT LIKE AN ELEPHANT AND HAVE THE MOTOR SKILLS OF A PREGNANT HIPPO!!!!

And I really, really miss John Candy....

me: "i'm not gonna fucking cry, i know what's going to happen, i've seen this multiple times."

*Steve Martin sits down on the train and the music starts*

me: *tears defiantly streaming down my cheeks*

The Jerk and Uncle Buck as the oldest looking teenagers to ever star in a John Hughes coming-of-age-road-trip film. A taxi race with Kevin fuckin' Bacon. The first time you see John Candy's facial expressions. A bitchy flight attendant. A semi-boring sounding Ben Stein. Shower-curtain-rings are fuckin' cool. A million bucks short of being a millionaire. Hypoallergenic pillows. Extreme-sinus-cleaning. Waking up next to Del. Those aren't fuckin' pillows! A broken train. A yabba dabba doo bus ride. The invisible automobile. The fuckin' rental-car counter. You're fucked! An autographed Daryl Strawberry earring. Being grabbed by your dick. Precious moments don't come back. Almost hitting a deer. A car-honking contest. You're going the wrong fuckin' way! Two dollars and a Casio watch. A melted speedometer. Del knows a lot of fuckers. Realizing family is everything. Funny as fuck. Steve Martin is gold. John Candy is fuckin' hilarious. Fuck, I miss him. RIP Mr. Candy. RIP Mr. Hughes.

fun fact:  it’s scientifically proven that John Candy’s laugh can cure all of the diseases in the world

I love how every November two different things happen... I watch this 3 or 4 times leading up to Thanksgiving... OR it’s a mad dash to try and watch it before Thanksgiving. This year was the mad dash. 

I love John Candy. He was my favorite funny person growing up and I was completely devestated when he died. His performance here as eternally optimistic Del Griffith absolutely wrecks me, and the “You wanna hurt me?” speech will instantly make me cry. Maybe it’s because there’s a little Del Griffith in all of us? Or maybe it’s because there’s a little John Candy in all of us <3

Side note: I really want to sync Steve Martin figuring out the twist at the end with the Saw twist music.

That shot of John Candy as the devil 👨‍🍳💋

i'd have john candy over for thanksgiving dinner every year until the day i died

It's been quite a few years since the last time I watched this.
I miss John Candy!
He was the greatest!

A lot of familiar faces in this one.
Lots of fun with lots of good laughs.
A memorable ride!

Great soundtrack.

✈🚆🚗

Steve Martin and John Candy melt your hearts, make you laugh out loud and thankful that you aren't them in this classic catastrophic road trip from hell!

Finally synced up the “twist” at the end with the Saw Hello Zepp music and it was glorious.

This movie has no right being this good, like this is an all time top tier film right here. Classic shit!

"Chalmer's Big and Tall Men's Shop. It's a seven outlet chain in the pacific northwest. Great stuff. Unfortunately, it does us no good here".

Even without all the teens, this is an extremely John Hughes movie. John Candy is so effortlessly funny, truly one of the best to ever do it. Steve Martin is always great, even if he's not doing his complete idiot shithead shtick, which is my favorite Steve Martin. John Hughes sure makes snowy Chicago suburbs seem appealing, huh?

Pretty good!

Desculpe mas eu não consigo acreditar que Steve Martin possa fazer o papel de um completo imbecil.

Great heartwarming comedy to watch during Thanksgiving.

o nome em pt nao faz sentido nenhum juro

Goes right into the feel-good movies list :')
Funny and heartwarming... loved it

"you're in a pretty lousy mood huh?

Extremely funny parts, spaced horribly far apart.

you’re fucked.

John candy is a funny fat man

I quote this film on a daily basis absolutely hilarious a must watch
