One of the funniest films ever made...October 31, 2011
The finest comedy screenplay John Hughes ever wrote.May 20, 2003
The film does have its scattered moments. But too often, the audience has as much reason as Del and Neal do to wonder where, if anywhere, they are going.July 26, 2011
Expertly executed and very funny road movie that mixes physical, verbal and situational comedy to memorable and highly likeable effect.December 24, 2013
Planes,Trains and Automobiles is a very funny film.September 28, 2011
Typically Hughes: funny, zany, silly, a little bit dull and annoying, and, eventually, a whole lot sentimental.November 21, 2008
It is, of course, always a pleasure to watch Martin's steam-gauge face register his rising internal pressures and to witness his exquisitely expressed blowoffs. But Candy offers even more insinuating delights.January 29, 2012
A surprisingly powerful, and incredibly funny, little movie led by two terrific performances and John Hughes' razor sharp script.January 01, 2000
It's a fine cinematic treat that doesn't demand much from a viewer, but gives back a lot, both in terms of laughter and good feeling.November 21, 2008
Man versus technology has been one of the staples of screen comedy since the earliest silent days, and Hughes makes the most of the format here packing as many of the frustrations of modern life as he can into this calamitous travelog of roadside America.July 26, 2011
Pretty dispensable.February 09, 2006
Essentially, it's the stars' keenly observed nuances of character that make this comedy amiable enough.
