    John Candy left us way too soon. May he rest in peace. His real-life personality was like the character in this movie. No one ever said a bad word about him. He was the genuine, real article. Also, a side note: the book he was reading while waiting in the airport, "Canadian Mounted" is a reference to the fact that John Candy was Canadian. Another movie of his that I highly recommend is "Cool Runnings".

    There were so many scenes that were cut. One of them was Steve Martin's favorite scene with Candy and he still has a hard time talking about it. After Neil goes back to the train station and Dell explains that his wife has been dead, they go to a diner together. That's when Dell explains why he's the way he is and why he travels with the trunk. And inside the trunk was supposed to be all of his wife's belongings. The scene was extremely emotional and Steve Martin said he believes John Candy gave his best performance in that scene. A shame it ended up cut :(

      Another story line that didn't make it into the final cut was that Neil's wife thought he was having an affair and that the whole story about his trip back was a ruse so that he could be with his mistress. That's why Neil's wife had the expression she did when she saw Dale was real.

    The part where you find out Del is a widower is so well done.

    The original cut of this movie was over FOUR HOURS long! In case it may have seemed weird why Neil’s wife seemed overly emotional at the end, there was originally a bit more story surrounding her suspecting that Neil was having an affair. When she finally meets Del in the end, she realizes that Neil was being honest all along and she’s clearly overcome with relief over it. It’s really a shame that it got cut because it makes the ending hit that much harder. Regardless, I think this movie is a masterpiece. John Hughes is unequivocally my favorite filmmaker; he really was the king of his era.

You come home from a business trip with a pocket full of slips. Those were the days.

    I'm a ex-retail worker from back in the day.The apparatus you we're confused about was how we used to imprint the credit card info onto the three layered (at that time) sales tickets. You would put the credit card in the apparatus than put in the sales ticket on top of the credit card (one layer had a ink sheet attached to the ticket). There was another part of the apparatus that you would then take your hand and physically move it over both the ticket and the credit card and it would imprint the card details onto the sales ticket. Then the sales ticket would go into the cash register so you can start the transaction, if I remember the process correctly.

    This movie always gets to me: the humor and the heartache. I love the "odd-couple" scenario and these two played their roles beautifully. In his earlier years, Steve Martin was the "wild crazy guy", but in later years he started playing the straight man (with sprinklings of momentary madness!) He portrays frustration and anguish so well. John Candy is so lovable in this too. One of my favorite movies Steve Martin was in is "Parenthood" - with Keanu Reeves, Joaquin Phoenix (he called himself Leaf Phoenix back then) and Rick Moranis. Another great movie with an odd-couple theme is "Midnight Run" - with Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin. (So hilarious!) It's so much fun watching with you guys!

    At 7:55, the machine that led to the "What is that?" question is how credit cards were handled before we had machines that tied back to the internet or credit card companies. The card was laid down, a slip of paper is laid on top, usually with the cost info (receipt), and the part that runs back and forth would press the paper against the card and the raised numbers and names on the cards would appear on the paper (whether ink or carbon or similar).
    Credit cards are simple today, as they deal with things instantly via electronics. Before, there were tons of slips of paper that had to be processed, and there was some delay.

    This is the perfect Thanksgiving movie, because not only is it relatable, it teaches people to be thankful for what they have. And no matter what life throws at you, learn to take it in stride, go with the flow, and be appreciative for the life you have even when things are at their worst. Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!

    After missing two years of being with my family on Thanksgiving because of COVID and battling cancer, this movie actually has new meaning for me. The battle to get home for Thanksgiving and being with the family seems well worth it! Inviting someone to have Thanksgiving dinner has also been part of my life. When I was in grad school, I invited several of my fellow students to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner when they were too far away to make it home. A few more people to enjoy some laughs and a warm dinner was never a big deal for my family.

    Our family watches this almost every Thanksgiving. I just love John Candy. Last year we had a lifelong friend (we grew up on the same block) of the family that came to Thanksgiving. He's older, not much money, no transportation and his own family wouldn't drive 20 minutes to pick him up. So, my brother drove down to pick him up and brought him to our family Thanksgiving. We all had a very nice time.

    What a classic. John Candy and Steve Martin are the epitome of an odd couple. Their chemistry is off the charts. They actually became very close friends afterwards, Steve Martin to this day has a hard time talking about John Candy without tears in his eyes. The movie originally ran for 3 hours and 30 minutes. The film's editor Paul Hirsch, and John Hughes, cut the film down to 2 hours. The studio still believed it was too long and made them cut 30 more minutes!

    This movie is a classic, and a thanksgiving tradition for me.
    Fun fact, John Hughes based this story on a real life experience he had a few years earlier. He left Chicago for New York for a one day trip, and he flew home that night. But his flight was rerouted to Wichita, and it took him five days to get back home. FIVE, imagine the hell he would have had to go through in real life.

    As a Chicagoan this movie was one of the ones that defined growing up there in the late 80s early 90s…not just their depiction of Neil and his family bring the prototypical middle class Chicago family but having the movie be a part of your family tradition. Watching it every thanksgiving. Similar to Home Alone and the Chevy chase Vacation franchise. John Hughes had that era in Chicago nailed.

    John Hughes and John Candy are two of my favourite people, that I've never known. I miss them both dearly. I grew up with John Candy and John Hughes. Their films together and separate, form a core part of my identity. For John Candy, he was weary of being known only as a comedic actor, and it is felt that he was on the cusp of becoming a well regarded dramatic actor. His small role in Oliver Stone's "JFK" was a step towards his dreams of being taken seriously. "I like me, my wife likes me...." That scene really exemplifies John's ability to deliver a serious and heartfelt moment and it's sad that we never got to see more of that. Both men were gone far too soon. At least we will always have their wonderful films. Thanks for reacting to this one.

    That little machine at the desk of the motel is how credit cards used to be processed before you could swipe a magnetic strip. There was a multiple sheet form that first was inserted in a slot on the cash register. The register would print the receipt for your purchase onto the form. Then the credit card was put into that little machine with the form on top of it and a handle was pulled to smoosh them together so that the credit card number and expiration date is imprinted onto the form. You would then sign the form and the clerk would give you a page from the form, with the store keeping a page for their records and a page was sent to the credit card company to be processed.

He always gets you in the heart. FYI...if my memory serves correct, John Hughes (writer/director) had had a really bad traveling experience that kind of jump-started the idea for this movie. I think even while finishing up "Ferris Bueller" he asked the woman who played the secretary in the school to be the annoying ticket agent in this film.

    It's a perfect Thanksgiving movie. The language is a bit mature; so it's only closer to family-friendly when edited for TV. But it's set at Thanksgiving time, and the theme is so much about giving thanks, especially by the end; and even friends are treated like family in the end.
    If you look online (and at other videos about this movie), you'll learn about aspects of the film that were cut. The thief from early in the movie was supposedly the pizza delivery guy who wasn't tipped well, and went back to get money from the bad tippers. That's also where the beer on the bed tied in. The mention of the pizza comes up the next morning. The homecoming at the end is extra special because Del is there. Steve Martin's character's wife thought he was delayed because he was cheating on her, and she assumed Del was some made up guy for an excuse--the stories she was being told didn't seem believable. So when he walks in the door and she realizes her husband wasn't cheating on her, there is relief. I'm glad that part was cut. The scenes that appeared to be remembering mealtime with the family were from what was supposed to be the final meal with Del. But it was repurposed. Plenty of interesting things in the movie and out of the movie.
