Uncle Buck is usually everyones favorite John Candy role but Del Griffith is mine, just so heartbreaking and loveable and kind, the chemistry between him and Steve Martin is just perfection
John Hughes really related to every kind of person, didn't he? Clever kids, mixed up teenagers, adults in crisis, normal everyday fools... what a genius.
Really relate to "everyone".. yeah, as long as they were wealthy upper class yuppies from the Chicago suburbs. Working class people in his movies are buffoons, criminals, or both... black people are either old bluesmen or they steal your hubcaps, and Asian people are ridiculous horny cartoon characters with names like "Long Duk Dong". I think, generally, he made really fun movies but dont give me this "related to everyone" jive
It's just a shame that after Beethoven in 1992 everything he created was utter shit. At some point in 1992 his 'mojo' was stolen and so his movies went from averaging 6.5 on the IMDb to averaging 3, the last seven years of his life all he produced was crud!
John Candy. A genuine nice guy. Coincidently years ago my mother got to sit next to him on an airplane! She said it was like talking to an old friend. She cried when she heard he had passed away. RIP John Candy
I was a teen when he died. I remember my Mom coming into my room and telling me. First and only time I ever cried when a celebrity died until 2014 with Robin Williams.
"One night a few years after 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' was released, I came upon John Candy (1950-1994) sitting all by himself in a hotel bar in New York, smoking and drinking, and we talked for a while. We were going to be on the same TV show the next day. He was depressed. People loved him, but he didn't seem to know that, or it wasn't enough. He was a sweet guy and nobody had a word to say against him, but he was down on himself. All he wanted to do was make people laugh, but sometimes he tried too hard, and he hated himself for doing that in some of his movies. I thought of Del." --- Roger Ebert, 2000
If I had the chance, I’d like to tell him “I don’t think you tried _too_ hard. I think you tried _extra_ hard. That’s part of what makes you so great, and I’m far from being the only one who thinks so.” I hope he came around to that sort of realization while he was alive.
@@0okamino Yes, he gave *everything* of himself, every time, which made the average stuff better--- and the good stuff greater. He is very, very much missed.
One of the best comedies ever made, and heart-warming as well. RIP John Candy. (PS, when he says the temperature is "one" he means Fahrenheit. That's like -18d Celsius.)
@@dallesamllhals9161there's only 3 countries that use imperial anymore, the rest of the planet is on metric. Fun fact: America, the country, does all its commerce in metric but converts most of it back to imperial when it gets to the public. Bonus fact: because of NAFTA there is a portion of US highway in Arizona measured in kilometers instead of miles.
I’ve loved this movie since I was a kid. The car accident scene still cracks me up. The ending was so heartwarming. John Candy is in some of my favorite movies from my childhood- The Great Outdoors, Armed and Dangerous, Who’s Harry Crumb, Hot to Trot. All funny. A bit of trivia: Neil’s wife’s odd reaction to him coming home at the end is explained by some deleted scenes. Because Neil has been spending a lot of time away from home, she thinks he is having an affair. When he tells her that his flight was cancelled and he’s stuck somewhere else, she thinks that he is with another woman. When he finally shows up, she realizes that Del is in fact real and he has been trying like crazy to get home the whole time. There’s also deleted scenes of Del putting beer cans on the vibrating bed and them exploding, and the kid that steals their money is the pizza delivery guy from earlier in the night. I live in Wichita but they filmed most of this movie In Illinois, not Kansas. I still can’t find Stubville on a map.😁
A lot of my friends' parents were extras for this movie at Lambert Airport in St. Louis. They drove around the airport for hours while the scene was filmed of Steve Martin getting punched. Everyone said that John Candy was cool and hung around the extras during lunch.
As an 80's kid its still hard to believe how many movies John Hughes made. Not run of the mill average movies but major films that are now classics and part of the American tapestry. After enough of his themes we knew his go-to recipe but still stayed around for the feast. Thats the sign of a genius- you know whats coming and still want to watch.
"What happened to his voice?" In the states that's a running gag in movies that a man's voice will go high pitched when he gets hit in the groin, it acts like a joke that he's not a man he sounds like a little boy
29:51 The final scene is even more poignant when you realise that the original script had a subplot where Mrs Page feared Neal was spending so much time away from home because he was having an affair and she believed all these delays were actually excuses as he was with the other woman. It's not until she sees Del on the doorstep and says "Hello Mr Griffiths" that she realises it's was all true and she had nothing to fear.
The subplot still somewhat existed. It was the subtle tension seen across her face during their phone conversations . And in that last scene her facial expression gave away the thoughts she had been having.
“I didn’t even know Houdini died” is one of the most funny and absurd things I’ve ever heard someone say. He was born in the 1870s so his odds of still being alive were pretty slim.
“her first baby come out sideways. she didn’t scream or nothing.” funniest line in the whole damn movie. that’s where i had to stop the vhs when i first saw it with my sister. we howled for at least 15 minutes straight, then had mini fits of snickering throughout. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your a real trooper! Del reminds me of a guy I used to work with he was very nice but not very clean and smoked a lot of cigarettes. He struggled in life has he like Del traveled for work.
Till the day i die i will always laugh hysterically when John Candy turns into the devil while going the wrong way on the highway. This was a great movie. Shame John Candy passed away not to long after the movie. Fantastic reaction Dawn.

When Kevin’s mother was trying to find a flight back home, she was talking to his wife and eventually they gave up their place so she could get back to Kevin in Chicago. 8:35 The cab driver is in Home Alone, too, He’s the crisis cop on the phone eating a donut while talking to Kevin’s mom.
But houses are different , home alone house is very similar but has extensions on both sides , in this movie extension is only on one side , also home alone home has 2 roof lanterns and this movie house has 3 ,

First, I want to thank you for entertaining me over the past 3 years. Next month will Mark three years since I was put on a ventilator with a 1% chance of surviving covid. I spent 16 days on a ventilator, 45 days in the hospital, had to learn how to drink, then eat, then stand and then walk again. I am still a shell of my former self and find myself bored out of my mind half the time. I went from working 60 to 70 hours a week to being disabled. You are amazing and I love the innocent way you see the world around you. It is a rare gift, and it is what allows you to see the good in everything you watch. You are an official browncoat now, which is a fan of Firefly. John Candy's one of my favorites, he was such a loving and caring man. When you get a chance you're going to want to watch Only the Lonely which was his best film. He was the leading man in a romantic comedy. Ally Sheedy from Breakfast Club, the girl with the dandruff, plays his love interest in that movie. Maureen O'Hara plays his mom. She was in The Quiet Man and McLintock with John Wayne. I don't care for John Wayne because of his racism, but those were entertaining movies. He had Supreme reference for Maureen O'Hara and considered her the star of the movie. He had a large trailer, fitting for a large man, he was embarrassed by the trailer they gave her. So he traded trailers with her to make sure she was treated like the movie star she deserve to be treated like. I always tear up at the end of Planes Trains and Automobiles and Uncle Buck when the frame freezes on him at the end. Absolutely loved him. And I identified with him being a bit heavy set myself. I wish I had met someone like you when I was younger, perhaps my life would have been a little less tumultuous. Nonetheless, I'm glad I found you on TH-cam so that I can enjoy your reviews of movies. Another one you'll want to watch eventually is return to me with David Duchovny and Minnie Driver. Make sure you have Kleenex at the beginning of the movie though, because when it becomes a tearjerker you're going to want to have some kleenex available. Again thank you for just being you and providing me some entertainment through these last three difficult years.
When I went on vacation to Gulf Shores, Alabama in 1986, it was 18 to buy beer/liquor. Back home in Louisiana, it was raised to 21 in 1987. In 1985, Arizona had a legal of 17. In Michigan and Pennsylvania the drinking age was raised to 21. Michigan did that in December 1978. Maine raised it to 20 in 1979.
One of my most favorite movies. And then you add that beautiful laughter to it and made it so much better. Then when you started singing along with the Flintstones theme I realized how much I love you and your channel. You are the sweetest girl on TH-cam.
I knew you'd love this! What's not to love? Not sure if you recognized Kevin Bacon early in the movie. And so many funny parts. BTW, that Piaget watch he traded for the hotel room was about $8,000 back in 1987 when this came out. My favorite part has to be when they drove between two trucks going the wrong way. Definitely worth watching again!!!
Best REACTION EVER!!!! HAHAHA, just ADORE your "watchalongs", Dawn! I love the fascination and curiosity of things that might be unfamiliar to you (specific American geography, or various little cultural nuiances that you observe (6:00P rather than military time 18:00 on the plane ticket). The reactions to the classic bits are priceless, like, "Those aren't PILLOW!!!!", and "How would THEY know where WE'RE hoing?" followed by miming of drunkness as they are about to squeeze between two tractor trailers!!! Its these reactions, plus the appreciation of how people actually can be, and how you approve or disapprove of their behavior, its all just magnificent. Not only BEST REACTION EVER, but this is the BEST TH-cam REACTION CHANNEL EVER!!! And I ain't kidding! Its a quick "pick-me-up" guaranteed to make me smile! Thanks for doing these!
Also, great analysis when you consider the auteur style of each director....you're on your way to becoming a film / communications professor at the University of Edinburgh or UCLA!!!
The truck scene is easily the best of the movie, and one of the top visual comedy bits in my mind. I love the way it flashes to skeletons before John Candy laughing in his devil costume 🤣🤣🤣
Both Johns are sorely missed. This is one of my all-time fave films and in the States it is a holiday staple for Thanksgiving viewings. A DynamicDuo of Martin & Candy is just cinematic gold. Heartfelt and hilarious. I LOL every time - especially the tractor trailer sequence where Del is the Devil (I saw this 3 x in the theatres when it was 1st released w/my dad and we could NOT stop laughing as well as Neal's meltdown with the car rental). And yes good luck getting a cab in NYC during rush hour (4pm- 6pm) on any day let alone during the holidays! I knew you'd love it - how can you not - and I loved your reaction - you hit everything right on the head (and even w/your editing story!) You need to see UNCLE BUCK as well as ONLY THE LONELY - 2 more films w/the Johns collaborating on. Steve Martin recently - and emotionally - stated that John was the real deal and the scene where he learns Del's homeless just floors him. Nice job Love!
Great reaction to a classic heartwarming comedy with two great comedic legends. RIP John Candy who is greatly missed. This film is actually loosely based on John Hughes own personal experience being on all 3 modes of transportation while traveling for the US holiday season.
Vibrating beds were very real, usually in cheap motels. The old man on the plane was one of those actors who you saw in a lot of tv shows and movies back in the 70’s and 80’s.
This is also my favorite John Hughes movie. So many laughs and the ending makes me cry every time. LOVE John Candy so much. He deserved an Oscar for this movie, but the Oscars don't recognize comedies, which is too bad. Dawn Marie, you have the BEST laugh!!!
They actually built Steve Martins house especially for the film. There were far more scenes in the house but they were cut. The original cut was over 3 hours long. Oh, and I love your reactions, they bring me joy
I've seen Planes, Trains & Automobiles numerous times over the years but watching you react to it might have been my favorite. Thanks for the fun times.
Dawn, you are beauty and joy personified! Watching my favorite movie with my favorite reactor and my favorite human being (John Candy) was an absolute gift. Thank you,!!!
In my top 3 favorite comedies of all time, they just don't make movies like this anymore, a comedy with heart and the chemistry between Candy and Martin was perfect.
He may not have directed it but John Hughes wrote it....Mr. Mom starring a young Micheal Keaton and young Terri Garr (from Young Frankenstein).... I think you will enjoy it as well. Love this reaction.... probably my favorite reaction and this hands down one of my favorite movies, a must watch every Thanksgiving. The ending still gets my teary eyed.
Dawn mentioned that car problems seem to be a running theme in these movies. I'm 47. All the way up to about oooh, 20 years ago it was pretty darn common place to see people stuck on the side of a road with those kind of issues. Like the Phone Booth, it's an experience that most people don't think about how this has changed over the last few decades. People don't typically keep cars til they're 20 years old and run them down to that point. Cars have also got a lot better in design and technology. Dealerships didn't used to have these high end shops specific for their own cars with experts and machines that can look up code problems for preventative service. Nope. You went to local garage to get your oil changes and only addressed problems when you ... get stuck on the side of the road lol... and would have a tow to whatever local grease monkey that could fix it for ya. So add in AAA service as a fairly recent service that was widely adopted membership, and now cell phones and a massively increased presence of police highway patrols.... The ol' hood open, steam coming out, stuck on the side of a road is now a thing of the past. 20 minutes or less and if you don't have someone coming for ya, someone else is gonna be sure to push you out of societies way and keep the veins of the country flowing.
John Candy and Steve Martin started their comedy careers together in their university days in Canada. Other movies with these guys together include "Throw Mumma from the Train" for one
29:28 I had a feeling you were going to say that but, it’s not the Home Alone house. This house is different than the Home Alone house and, they’re located just a few miles apart. This one is in Kenilworth, Home Alone house is in Winnetka (both are located in upper Chicago).
I absolutley love this film, I've heard there's quite a lot that was cut from it including a conversation about Del's wife and what happened to her. The first cut was apparently three and a half hours long.
that old man who you recognized on the plane would always pop up in movies and tv around the 80's and 90s. his most memorable roles to me were in seinfeld and home alone. the seinfeld episode is where jerry takes an old mans record collection, and in home alone he's the grumpy husband of the earrings lady, he says "he's got a whole drawer full of earrings, dangly ones!". i dont know his name, but i always recognize him too.
The old man on the airplane with the two main characters was the old man in Home Alone that says "She has a whole shoebox full of earrings. Little dangling ones." when Catherine O'Hara was trying to get a ticket home to Chicago.
Did you recognize all the cast member from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? 2:25 Ferris’ dad. 10:50 the principal’s secretary. Also it was a nice touch that the first time you see John Candy he’s reading a book called “The Canadian Mounted”…he’s from Canada.
this was one of the funniest movies when it came out. i laughed so much and so hard. And it was released at a time when i personally didnt think a funny comedy had been released in years. i didnt think so anyways. And jts still hilarious. Probably still one of my top 5 favorite comedies
This my favourite comedy, I've watched it probably 35 times over the years. I've never noticed the hand prints on the wall you pointed out at 12:48. What a great touch, good eye Dawn!
I use to watch this movie and think about Dell's situation. I would think "that would never happen to me". Two years ago, my wife of 26 years, passed away. Since March 1st of this year, I have been living in my car.
Trading Places is my all-time favourite movie but this takes the no. 2 spot. The chemistry between these 2 actors is what makes the movie. I hear they're going to make a new version but with 2 women. It's the sort of movie that doesn't work with just anyone
The reason that houses always look similar in John Hughes-related movies is because he tended to base a lot of his movies in a place called Winnetka, Illinois, a wealthy suburb of Chicago around 15 miles north of downtown.

As many times as I've seen this movie... "Marie's been dead for 8 years" still gets me. Every. Single. Time.
Supposedly there is a whole scene right after that where they went and talked about it. It was Steves favorite scene and it was cut
"Those aren't pillows!". One of my favorite lines ever.

In Michigan and Pennsylvania the drinking age was raised to 21. Michigan did that in December 1978. Maine raised it to 20 in 1979.
As soon as I saw the notification, I said "She is going to love this", LOL. One of my most favourite movies from my childhood, timeless.
One of my most favorite movies.
And then you add that beautiful laughter to it and made it so much better.
Then when you started singing along with the Flintstones theme I realized how much I love you and your channel. You are the sweetest girl on TH-cam.
John Candy made this film a classic no one who ever worked with him had a bad word to say about him.
I knew you'd love this! What's not to love? Not sure if you recognized Kevin Bacon early in the movie. And so many funny parts. BTW, that Piaget watch he traded for the hotel room was about $8,000 back in 1987 when this came out. My favorite part has to be when they drove between two trucks going the wrong way. Definitely worth watching again!!!
How do YOU know where they were going? LOL
Loved the Kevin Bacon cameo and the Michael McKean one
@@scipio7837 Yea... how would he know?
Best REACTION EVER!!!! HAHAHA, just ADORE your "watchalongs", Dawn! I love the fascination and curiosity of things that might be unfamiliar to you (specific American geography, or various little cultural nuiances that you observe (6:00P rather than military time 18:00 on the plane ticket). The reactions to the classic bits are priceless, like, "Those aren't PILLOW!!!!", and "How would THEY know where WE'RE hoing?" followed by miming of drunkness as they are about to squeeze between two tractor trailers!!! Its these reactions, plus the appreciation of how people actually can be, and how you approve or disapprove of their behavior, its all just magnificent. Not only BEST REACTION EVER, but this is the BEST TH-cam REACTION CHANNEL EVER!!! And I ain't kidding! Its a quick "pick-me-up" guaranteed to make me smile! Thanks for doing these!
Also, great analysis when you consider the auteur style of each director....you're on your way to becoming a film / communications professor at the University of Edinburgh or UCLA!!!
The truck scene is easily the best of the movie, and one of the top visual comedy bits in my mind. I love the way it flashes to skeletons before John Candy laughing in his devil costume 🤣🤣🤣
This movie and Uncle Buck has John Candy smiling at the end and that warms my heart.
I've been sick for 5 days but Dawn Marie's laughter and spirit makes me feel better.
Both Johns are sorely missed. This is one of my all-time fave films and in the States it is a holiday staple for Thanksgiving viewings. A DynamicDuo of Martin & Candy is just cinematic gold. Heartfelt and hilarious. I LOL every time - especially the tractor trailer sequence where Del is the Devil (I saw this 3 x in the theatres when it was 1st released w/my dad and we could NOT stop laughing as well as Neal's meltdown with the car rental). And yes good luck getting a cab in NYC during rush hour (4pm- 6pm) on any day let alone during the holidays! I knew you'd love it - how can you not - and I loved your reaction - you hit everything right on the head (and even w/your editing story!) You need to see UNCLE BUCK as well as ONLY THE LONELY - 2 more films w/the Johns collaborating on. Steve Martin recently - and emotionally - stated that John was the real deal and the scene where he learns Del's homeless just floors him. Nice job Love!
I love that every movie you review is the best movie ever. 🙂
You become so invested in your movies. Awesome.
Watch "The Great Outdoors". It's another good John Hughes movie with John Candy and Dan Aykroyd, and one of the few not set in Chicago.
Great reaction to a classic heartwarming comedy with two great comedic legends. RIP John Candy who is greatly missed.
This film is actually loosely based on John Hughes own personal experience being on all 3 modes of transportation while traveling for the US holiday season.
Vibrating beds were very real, usually in cheap motels.
The old man on the plane was one of those actors who you saw in a lot of tv shows and movies back in the 70’s and 80’s.
One of my absolute favorite comedies. I am glad you have the right sense of humor to get it.
One of my all time favorites. Our family watches this every Thanksgiving
This is also my favorite John Hughes movie. So many laughs and the ending makes me cry every time. LOVE John Candy so much. He deserved an Oscar for this movie, but the Oscars don't recognize comedies, which is too bad. Dawn Marie, you have the BEST laugh!!!
They actually built Steve Martins house especially for the film. There were far more scenes in the house but they were cut. The original cut was over 3 hours long. Oh, and I love your reactions, they bring me joy
Dawn: "You see, it's a lovely, wholesome, family movie."
Edie McClurg: "May I help you sir?"
I've seen Planes, Trains & Automobiles numerous times over the years but watching you react to it might have been my favorite. Thanks for the fun times.
Dawn, you are beauty and joy personified! Watching my favorite movie with my favorite reactor and my favorite human being (John Candy) was an absolute gift.
Thank you,!!!
If this film doesn't make you cry at the end then you're not human - 100% true!
In my top 3 favorite comedies of all time, they just don't make movies like this anymore, a comedy with heart and the chemistry between Candy and Martin was perfect.
First of your reactions I've seen. How could anyone not love that laugh.
One of my fav films. 12:09 is a classic 80's film moment.
If you haven't seen it yet, you MUST see John Candy in "Cool Runnings" - he's the coach of the Jamaican Bobsled Team :)
Now that John Candy's past the end of this movie along with the end of Uncle Buck is sad the way it ends on him
This might be my favorite comedy of all time. The re-make Due Date is also really good!
He may not have directed it but John Hughes wrote it....Mr. Mom starring a young Micheal Keaton and young Terri Garr (from Young Frankenstein).... I think you will enjoy it as well.
Love this reaction.... probably my favorite reaction and this hands down one of my favorite movies, a must watch every Thanksgiving. The ending still gets my teary eyed.
Such a funny and heartwarming movie with the perfect holiday ending (this was originally released around Thanksgiving).
It's up there, awfully near Princess Bride, as a perfect film. So perfectly and earnestly acted by those guys, too.
I am so so proud you watched this. One of my top 10 favorite films of all time.
My best friend and I saw this the first day it came out in the theater and we laughed so hard that we couldn't breath through the whole film.
Even just remembering the end of this movie brings tears of joy to my eyes.
This is one of my favourite movies with John Candy. Loved this reaction! ❤
Why is it I never go out of my way to watch this movie but when I do watch it I find it hilarious? Yes, the vibrating beds were real.
A very great and funny movie
"Uncle Buck" definitely needs to be on your list to watch. 😁
Liked hearing about the editing. Fun times
I like watching movies with you Dawn. Best laugh on TH-cam!
One of the best movies EVER! The end nearly makes me tear up, even after all of these years…
Loved your laughter on this one, it was great you got such a kick out of it, most people like it but you seemed to enjoy it a bit more than most.
One of my all time favourite films. So pleased you enjoyed as much as I do Dawn!
7:00 that old man was also in Home Alone, the old couple that gave up their plane ticket to Kevin’s mom so she could get back to him.
Dawn mentioned that car problems seem to be a running theme in these movies. I'm 47. All the way up to about oooh, 20 years ago it was pretty darn common place to see people stuck on the side of a road with those kind of issues. Like the Phone Booth, it's an experience that most people don't think about how this has changed over the last few decades. People don't typically keep cars til they're 20 years old and run them down to that point. Cars have also got a lot better in design and technology. Dealerships didn't used to have these high end shops specific for their own cars with experts and machines that can look up code problems for preventative service. Nope. You went to local garage to get your oil changes and only addressed problems when you ... get stuck on the side of the road lol... and would have a tow to whatever local grease monkey that could fix it for ya. So add in AAA service as a fairly recent service that was widely adopted membership, and now cell phones and a massively increased presence of police highway patrols.... The ol' hood open, steam coming out, stuck on the side of a road is now a thing of the past. 20 minutes or less and if you don't have someone coming for ya, someone else is gonna be sure to push you out of societies way and keep the veins of the country flowing.
John Candy and Steve Martin started their comedy careers together in their university days in Canada. Other movies with these guys together include "Throw Mumma from the Train" for one
What? Is this a joke? Neither Martin nor Candy appeared in Throw Mama. Additionally, Martin was born in TX and went to college in So Cal. Not Canada.
Beautiful reaction. Thank you.
Also, John Hughes did writing for movies he was not credited for. Animal House, Caddyshack, splash...John is in that... stripes, and others.
We all love ❤️ and miss you 😢 John Candy
the smile at the end with john candy,gets me everytime...definately top 10 movie.
Watching the best movies with Dawn Marie reacting. That's a treat for a lifetime! 😆
29:28 I had a feeling you were going to say that but, it’s not the Home Alone house. This house is different than the Home Alone house and, they’re located just a few miles apart. This one is in Kenilworth, Home Alone house is in Winnetka (both are located in upper Chicago).
I absolutley love this film, I've heard there's quite a lot that was cut from it including a conversation about Del's wife and what happened to her. The first cut was apparently three and a half hours long.
Old man on plane is actor Bill Erwin, who starred in "Home Alone," "Somewhere in Time", and numerous American TV shows.
that old man who you recognized on the plane would always pop up in movies and tv around the 80's and 90s. his most memorable roles to me were in seinfeld and home alone. the seinfeld episode is where jerry takes an old mans record collection, and in home alone he's the grumpy husband of the earrings lady, he says "he's got a whole drawer full of earrings, dangly ones!". i dont know his name, but i always recognize him too.
That is John Hughes…absolutely brilliantly funny but with so much damn heart he’ll make you cry.
The old man on the airplane with the two main characters was the old man in Home Alone that says "She has a whole shoebox full of earrings. Little dangling ones." when Catherine O'Hara was trying to get a ticket home to Chicago.
Did you recognize all the cast member from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? 2:25 Ferris’ dad. 10:50 the principal’s secretary. Also it was a nice touch that the first time you see John Candy he’s reading a book called “The Canadian Mounted”…he’s from Canada.
this was one of the funniest movies when it came out. i laughed so much and so hard. And it was released at a time when i personally didnt think a funny comedy had been released in years. i didnt think so anyways. And jts still hilarious. Probably still one of my top 5 favorite comedies
The Dawn Marie vids always bring a smile to my day.
This my favourite comedy, I've watched it probably 35 times over the years. I've never noticed the hand prints on the wall you pointed out at 12:48. What a great touch, good eye Dawn!
I use to watch this movie and think about Dell's situation. I would think "that would never happen to me".
Two years ago, my wife of 26 years, passed away. Since March 1st of this year, I have been living in my car.
“Uncle Buck” is a must.
Trading Places is my all-time favourite movie but this takes the no. 2 spot. The chemistry between these 2 actors is what makes the movie. I hear they're going to make a new version but with 2 women. It's the sort of movie that doesn't work with just anyone
The reason that houses always look similar in John Hughes-related movies is because he tended to base a lot of his movies in a place called Winnetka, Illinois, a wealthy suburb of Chicago around 15 miles north of downtown.
" Dirty Rotten Scoundrels " is another Steve Martin movie.
"You scared the Bejesus outta me!" 😂😂
