Planes, Trains and Automobiles

"Man versus technology has been one of the staples of screen comedy since the earliest silent days, and Hughes makes the most of the format here."

"Too often, the audience has as much reason as Del and Neal do to wonder where, if anywhere, they are going."

"The movies that last, the ones we return to, don't always have lofty themes or Byzantine complexities. Sometimes they last because they are arrows straight to the heart."

"A warm, mature offering from Hughes, with Martin's restraint a perfect counterpoint to Candy's enormous (and enormously amusing) fooling around."
