This movie was so wholesome and so much fun to watch! I wanted them to be friends for the whole movie but when they finally did, it was so amazing!
Thanks for watching! Have a great day! :)
Thank you for reacting to this and appreciating. It's a misunderstood comedy that took some time to grown on people.
Check out Uncle Buck (1989). You'll be glad you did.
I thought Steve Martin was good in Parenthood. It is both a comedy and a heartfelt movie. Lots of other famous actors are in it too who were very young at the time such as Keanu Reeves and Joaquin Phoenix. It's a really good movie.
Check out "Only the Lonely" another great John Candy film. It's hilarious. Terry.
John Candy was, is and will always be my absolute favorite actor. I miss him deeply!
One of the best Canadian imports ever.
Really bums me out that a whole generation dont know who John Candy is. Its like growing up without The Muppets or classic Looney tunes cartoons... is a deprivation of the human spirit.
To be deprived of Wile E Coyote, Veterinarian's Hospital, Piggggggs innnnn Spaaaaaace and Fog, I say Foghorn Leghorn is unimaginable.
The generational divide of those of us raised on Drive-in to VHS/Cable, seems to give us incentive for reaction video watching. Always nice to feel those memories through a newer viewers eyes. Amazing era.
"You shared a motel room with a complete stranger? Are you crazy?"
"Not yet. But I'm getting there."
Fun Fact: After the credits, Neal's boss is still at his desk analyzing the ads, his Thanksgiving dinner sitting on his desk.
Crazy Rant Fact: The Marathon Car Rental scene is exactly one minute long from the time Steve Martin starts his tirade to the time the attendant ends the scene. In that sixty seconds, the "F" word is used nineteen times. The film would've easily been rated PG or PG-13 by the MPAA if it weren't for this one scene.
New House Fact: Neal's (Steve Martin) house was also a set built from scratch, consisting of seven rooms, and taking five months to complete. It ended up costing $100,000, which angered Paramount executives, and caused turmoil on the set.
Great review as always. I love your channel!
Kevin Bacon’s character was actually the character he’s playing in another John Hughes movie called “She’s Having a Baby”.
I heard originally they were going to put that taxi race scene in both films but for whatever reason, it just didn’t flow correctly in the other one so they left it out.
And you are correct about the simplicity of this film. When you have a good script, and good actors, you don’t need all the gimmicks Hollywood throws at us now. Just let good actors tell a good story.
Doesn’t Steve Martin cameo in that ?
You have to know John Candy if you're Canadian. Even American. A legend RIP
Kevin Bacon stars in the 1988 John Hughes film She's Having a Baby. William Windom (the actor looking at the magazine layouts) and the old man in the plane, also appear in that film. John Hughes liked to recast actors. Steve Martin's colleague who warns he'll never make the 6pm flight plays Ferris Bueller's dad in Ferris Bueller's Day Off along with the Marathon Car Rental lady played the secretary at the high school. John Candy stars in Uncle Buck, but he also had a small part in Home Alone.
If you ever get a chance to look into the deleted scenes, they’re actually pretty interesting. They cut out a lot of the stuff with the wife. Because she was actually convinced that he was having an affair. That’s why she wasn’t believing anything that he was saying about spending time with a “Dale”. She thought it all sounded fishy, and that he was doing some thing. At the end, it was a relief for her, because she could see that he was telling the truth.
Del, not Dale.
You need to watch Uncle Buck. And John Candy was a freaking lovable genius! RIP
My little bro and I love this film. I actually bought him The Canadian Mounted book for Christmas, it is in fact a book choked with trivia, some behind the scenes stuff, deleted script excerpts, lots of stories, it's a joy to read. One such deleted scene, which adds context, is the hotel room break in: they're robbed by the pizza delivery guy who brought food to the room. As Neal's in the shower, Del takes the $700 out of Neal's wallet to pay. Del only tips the kid $1, though, before putting the cash back. So the kid loiters in the corridor until they're asleep.
Pizza Delivery guy co-starred in Summer School and I think he wore the same hat.
I know someone who is friends with the pizza guy! I told him to tell him to watch the reaction videos!!!!!!
I love this movie. It's a Thanksgiving tradition for my family. It's hilarious and has a lot of heart. John Candy and Steve Martin play really well off each other. Also, it's not the home alone house, but the house was specifically built for this movie and cost over $100,000 which pissed off Paramount executives.
If you're interested in exploring more John Candy, check out his comedic genius in the classic Canadian TV series from the late 1970s/early 80s, Second City TV. His takes on Leave it to Beaver, The Babe Ruth Story are comic gold.
2:21 The boss guy is played by actor William Windom...you've recently seen him as Commodore Decker on the Star Trek TOS episode "The Doomsday Machine" where he was almost 20 years younger than he is in this movie.
This is your first John Candy movie?
He was one of the best comedic actor of his time.
You are always in for a treat with his movies.
Uncle Buck, Summer Rental, The Great Outdoors and many more.
Steve Martin's Pink Panther movies are weak compared to the original movie series with Peter Sellers as inspector clousseau. But he was brilliant in movies like, The three Amigos, Roxanne, Parenthood and moore. You Have a lot of fun movies to watch.
I enjoyed this reaction from one of my favorite holiday movies.
In my teens my family had a vacation like this. It was the first time we were visiting back home since my Dad moved us across the country. Everything that could go wrong went wrong from the engine going wrong to having a flat tire & having to stay at a hotel longer than we planned but what's interesting is it was the best vacation we ever had once we got there though it was short because of all the inconveniences on the way there. What's interesting is the next year when we visited everything went right on the way there but when we got there it was the worst vacation we had though we had more time for personal reasons I won't mention.
That guy at the desk at that meeting is the captain who took over the Enterprise when Kirk was on the other ship and they had a planet killer after them.
Summer rental is feel good movie staring John Candy as the father.
Anything w/ John Candy or Steve Martin is great. Steve Martin wrote a film called "L.A. Story" which he stars in and is great. My favorite films featuring Steve Martin are "The Jerk," "The Man With Two Brains," and "Bowfinger" with Eddie Murphy. John Candy is a classic Canadian comedian and actor who is much-beloved in America. I love his supporting work in films like "Splash" with Tom Hanks and "Stripes" with Bill Murray.
And worldwide
Cool Runnings is a great comedy starring John Candy. It is based on a true story about the first Jamaican bobsled team.
A "stupid freeze frame" of the legend who is the late great John Candy 😥
It is the same house as Home Alone.
If you enjoyed John Candy in this, you'd probably enjoy Uncle Buck and maybe his part in Cool Runnings.
You NEED to watch Uncle Buck! It’s another John Hughes comedy starring John Candy. It’s an awesome tour de force for John Candy (he’s brilliant in it) and has some truly heartwarming moments. I think you’ll really like it.
Steve Martin told a story that the ending between him & John Candy in the train station was longer. Candy told the story that his wife, Marie, had gotten cancer & they spent all their money for her treatment - but she still died. Because they spent all their money on her care, he lost the house & he was so heartbroken over losing her that he packed up his trunk & left & never went back. Steve Martin said that John Candy did such an amazing job with that monologue that it literally left him & the film crew weeping. It was brilliant, but John Hughes felt it was SUCH a sad moment that it pulled the film down too much, so he cut it.
Another amazing Steve Martin movie is his updated version of “Cyrano de Bergerac” - Roxanne. It’s sweet, funny, & romantic.
Enjoy!
Ollie, you've seen John Candy before. He was Barf (the half-man/half-dog sidekick) in Spaceballs. You might want to catch yourself up on the rest of his filmography, not just as a film lover, but as a Canadian, since he's one of your most famous exports. Uncle Buck (another John Hughes film) should probably be next on your list. The Great Outdoors and Stripes (though he's only a supporting character) are two others that I'd recommend.
So great. A guy burdened with ego and a guy who has accepted that his life ended years ago trying to find common ground. Nobody writes like that unless they're sincere.
"A guy who accepted his life ended years ago." That is accurate and heart breaking. ☹️
You're just slapping and punching everybody today 😂😂
Always appreciate your commentary and perspectives ! Thanks Ollie!
You want another good John Candy movie? Check out Uncle Buck or The Great Outdoors. Both are hilarious. The Great Outdoors also stars Dan Akroyd
I feel like I say this a lot, but I saw this one in the theater.
Since then, my friends and I get together and watch it every thanksgiving. The end gets me every time.
You absolutely need to see Uncle Buck. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a massive classic and one of the best comedies made. 😉
Even though we’re still several months away from it in both the US and Canada, Happy Thanksgiving! That goes for any time you watch this movie.
Ollie, if you go back and look again, you might recognize Steve Martin's boss (William Windom) from the original Star Trek episode "The Doomsday Machine". He played Commodore Decker in one of the greatest guest performances on the original series.
He was also the long-running character Seth, the town doctor and dear friend of Jessica Fletcher, on Murder She Wrote. Loved him in that series.
Kevin Bacon was the star of the John Hughes movie released right before "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" called "She's Having a Baby," which is autobiographical and imo Hughes' best film. You should react to it.
Great reaction/review. This is a great holiday movie, very funny, but a memorably warm, and ultimately very kind-hearted film. And I have to agree that Martin and Candy were perfect here.
The two funniest comedies of the last 40 years (aside from the Naked Gun films), at least for me, are Four Weddings and a Funeral and A Fish Called Wanda.
Subscribed. Looking forward to watching more of your work.
Supposedly Jeri Ryan got fired from this film. She couldn’t stop laughing at Steve Martin and John Candy for her scenes on the bus. The old man on the plane was Bill Erwin who you saw in a previous review of Somewhere in Time. He was Arthur the hotel bell boy. If you ever do the rest of Star Trek TNG he has a guest spot as an old friend of Dr. Crusher.
Candy could have been another Tom Hanks. Both started out in comedies. And I think Candy was evolving into a good dramatic actor.
Speaking of Tom Hanks and John Candy, how about _Splash?_
So true, this is very much an enjoyable adventure that can be popped it any time and one of the very few genuinely memorable Thanksgiving films out there. -- One where thankfully a roasted turkey isn't horribly wasted. Such a great reaction, and yes "Roxeanne" is definitely worth a watch. I would also highly agree with other commentors about checking out John Candy in "Uncle Buck" for yet another McCallister-esque house (with Macauley Culkin featured in it!) and Steve Martin in "Bowfinger." We have to see your reaction to... -the *CHUBBY RA-A-AIN!*
The Dream Academy also had a song I liked back in the day life in a northern town that reminds me of my time back in the day being in Portpatrick Scotland.
Now that you know who John Candy is we need an Uncle Buck reaction!
One of the funniest buddy comedy road trip movies ever made!
Not just that Del's wife has been dead for 8 years, he's homeless.
I remember those credit card things from my childhood in the 80s/90s
0:07 shoulda gone with the classic "ah-OOO-gah" for the automobile 🙃
Kevin Bacon was actually just there to add to his Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon legacy. 😉
Great choice!
You probably will enjoy Steve Martin in father of the bride.
Glad you got to see this one, Ollie! It's really a timeless feel good movie. One of a few I still randomly quote to this day.
For more Steve Martin I'd sugest :
- The Jerk (this was when he was the biggest stand up comedian around...playing arenas, and much of the comedy in the movie is very similar to his stand up act,
- The Man With Two Brains
- Parenthood
- Leap Of Faith (very underrated)
Some more John Candy:
-Armed And Dangerous
-Summer Rental
If you want to check out another movie with a similar "road trip" vibe as this one but with two different personalities doing their thing: "Tommy Boy" It's a riot!
Yes that was the Home Alone house and BTW John Candy was IN Home Alone as the leader of the Polka band that the mom had to ride with to get to Chicago.
Other great Steve Martin movies:
Three Amigos
L.A. Story
A Simple Twist of Fate (in my opinion his most underrated film)
All Of Me
(All these movies directed by Frank Oz - Muppeteer behind Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Yoda, and others)
Little Shop of Horrors
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
House Sitter
Bowfinger
And Uncle Buck (also directed by John Hughes) is *THE* John Candy film that needs to be seen!
steve Martin in leap of faith is really a good movie
Those aren't pillows!!! 🤣🤣🤣😱😱😱
Love Steve Martin ---- If you havent watched Father of the Bride 1 and 2 they are both some of Steves best work --- Oh and Parenthood and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels are hilarious too
And let's not forget "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid"
Thanksgiving in April! 🍗 🥧 🌷
Good reaction Ollie keep it up
You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better! I'm an easy target. Yeah, you're right, I talk too much, I also listen too much. I could be a cold, hard cynic like you, but I don't like to hurt people's feelings... Well you think what you want about me! I'm not changing! I like-I like me! My wife likes me... my customers like me! Cause I'm the real article! What you see is what you get!
Best comedy of all time
Thanks, Oliver! ✈🚅🚗 Such a surprisingly sweet Thanksgiving flick. #RolyPolyOllieReactions #JohnHughes #PlanesTrainsAndAutomobiles
Oh, I’m definitely a Steve Martin! I would not be able to stand Del for 5 MINUTES!!!!!!
If you want another fun John Candy movie I would suggest Great Outdoors if you've not seen it yet.
Xenial here.
That my friend is a "click-clack" device, formally known as a credit card imprinter. You can still buy them off of ebay.
You know how check books have a carbon copy underneath each check? Well, instead of having your checking account number, you'd hand over your credit card. They would slide the slider and it would imprint your number on the merchant carbon paper. I don't know if the buyer got a copy of the merchant slip. I was basically a toddler/young kid.
Come to think of it. I'm not not sure of I had a debit card as a teen with my first checking account. I had checks and an ATM card. Debit did exist, but they would still put it through the click clacker.
Unlike POS payment systems where you swipe your card, the merchant did not know if your card was declined unless it was called onto the processor. But when I saw my parents buy a thing or 2, I font think the cashier called a processor. P.S I had to Google search about the processor bit.
With POS systems, you'll get approved or declined om the spot.
You know how credit cards have minimum payments due each month? I read that back in the days that if you did not pay in full with American Express or missed 1 payment, the card would be declined and the merchant cut up yoir credit card.
Nowadays, if you get declined, it's just "whoops. My bad. I'll just use another card." The merchant won't cut up yoir credit card.
Steve Martin movies:
- The Man w/ 2 Brains
- Roxanne
- Three Amigos
- My Blue Heaven
Steve Martin:
The Jerk
All of me
The man with two brains
(These are all earlier movies with a younger more outrageous Martin like when you saw him as Kermit’s waiter in the muppet movie).
Who is this guy? He's on the poster... We have failed 80s kids, pack it up.
It wasn’t the same house, but it was in the same neighborhood
I really don't get how so many people take Dels side and call Neil mean all the time. Del was beyond obnoxious in the beginning and Neil took awhile before exploding, and several times tried compromising with Del.
It is really telling how the only reaction I see people have after they bust the car into the building, is to drive away screwing over the owner who was nice enough to let them barter room and board for the night.
People always make such a big deal that 'Kevin Bacon' is in this film, and I just say 'Who is that and should I care?', answer of no.
Great reaction
please do George of the Jungle, Baby's Day Out, and Home Alone 1-3!
You'll find this interesting, the original movie cut was almost 4 hours long, where the deleted scenes add a lot of context to scenes in the movie, like it was the pizza delivery boy who robbed them because they failed to tip him, lol.

Little Shop of Horrors
Three Amigos
Roxanne
try watching the dark knight trilogy. Also love your videos
Like Del, I too, am still a million bucks short of being a millionaire, lol.
This is good, but Steve Martin's funniest movie remains "The Jerk"
You’re daddy ☺️
I love ya Ollie, so take this as big brother life lesson stuff, but, Steve Martin’s Pink Panther movies are the worst things he’s ever done and the worst thing with the name Pink Panther.
The Steve Martin Pink Panther movies are terrible. The originals make them look like an exercise in trying to hard and failing.
Wait a minute....you are from Canada and you DON'T know John Candy....I have lost faith in the younger generation.
Ollie, you should watch the original Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers.
