Hey
hey! It’s time for November’s Food ‘n Flix movie and this month I’m hosting!
I
chose the Thanksgiving classic, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!
In
case you’re unfamiliar with this classic, here’s a brief synopsis:
En
route to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his family, easily annoyed
businessman Neal Page (Steve Martin) finds his first-class plane ticket has
been demoted to coach, and he must share his flight with obnoxious salesman Del
Griffith (John Candy). A sudden snowstorm in Chicago forces the plane to land
in Wichita. Unable to find a room in any of the four-star hotels, Neal is
compelled to accept Del's invitation to share his accommodations in a
cheapo-sleazo motel. Driven to distraction by Del's annoying personal habits,
the ungrateful Neal lets forth with a stream of verbal abuse. That's when Del
delivers the anticipated (but always welcome) "I don't judge, why should
you?"-type speech so common to John Hughes flicks. The shamefaced Neal
tries to make up to Del, but there's a bumpy time ahead as the mismatched pair
make their way back to Chicago, first in a balky train, then by way of a
refrigerator truck. We know from the outset that the oil-and-water Neal and Del
will be bosom companions by the end of Planes, Trains and Automobiles, but it's
still a fun ride.

ReplyDeleteI had never seen this movie Amy. I watched it the other night and had a couple of full belly laughs. Now I just have to figure out what I want to make....hmmmmm.......
ReplyDeleteI really don't think I had ever seen this. What? Just made my meal and will post Monday or Tuesday. Thanks for hosting, Amy, and have a great Thanksgiving!
