Synopsis: Two guys traveling to get home for Thanksgiving
Review:
As a tribute to the legendary director John Hughes who had recently passed away, I watched this classic road trip comedy set during Thanksgiving and stars two of the most successful comedians during the '80s.
The film also strikes a balance between comedy and emotional drama - A trademark of the director.
Unlike most '80s movies which are almost unwatchable, this movie is still relevant and very entertaining even after all these years. Apart from Home Alone (1990) which was also by the same director, this is another must watch movie. RIP John Hughes (1950-2009) and John Candy (1950-1994)
Trivia: Look out for cameo appearances from Kevin B and John Hughes movie regulars.
Rating: 9/10
