1987
John Candy has seldom been better as Del Griffith, a recurring nightmare for Neal Page (Steve Martin), a businessman who just wants to make it home for Thanksgiving. Del is overbearing, loudmouthed and, unfortunately, headed the same direction as Neal. Will this odd couple make it home for the holidays before killing each other? It looks like even money to us.
Steve Martin had no reason to panic...until John Candy came along.
