Thanksgiving Movie Review: "Planes, Trains, & Automobiles"

K&F Movie Summary: If you have ever had a boat anchor of a friend that somehow became someone you loved so much you hated yourself for it, Planes Trains and Automobiles is the Thanksgiving movie that’ll make you cry with joy. Steve Martin plays Neal Page, an overworked executive just trying to get home two days before Thanksgiving to his family. Del Griffith is a loud mouth overweight blabber mouth salesman that seemingly loves only to talk people to death, followed by enjoying life as a perpetual slob. But this odd couple gets stuck together, and they have the road trip of a lifetime via planes, trains, buses, and automobiles. Along with way hands are shoved into butts, the F-Bomb is laced together in a way that’ll make your mother cry with tears and your dad cry with laughter, and six different Dodge LeBaron’s give their life to become so famous as the best buddy car of all time that it ended up in Deadpool and and Wolverine. This is an absolutely perfect, quotable, re-watchable, funny, thoughtful, sad, loving, and hilarious movie that we’ll all watch on Thanksgiving until we die. 10 Turkey Rolls!

Legit Movie Car Facts:

-Six custom-painted, green 1986 Dodge 600 convertibles served as comic relief throughout the movie modified with the Lebaron grille, headlights, taillights, and wood siding. . The cars were re-branded as a fictional Gran Detroit, Farm and Country Edition.

-Chrysler wanted no part of any relationship with the car.

-No actual Town & Country convertibles were destroyed during filming because the studio found plain ’86 Dodge 600s and Chrysler LeBarons, painted them green, and then applied the stock wood trim afterward.

-Special “D” hood badges replaced Chrysler ones on convertibles used in the movie.

-It is so famous that it made a cameo in Dealpool vs Wolverine

-The enormous wire wheel covers were a joke.

-The color green was chosen by John Hughes himself to go with the wood siding. The car is a nod to another famous Hughes movie car, the Family Truckster from National Lampoons Vacation.

-Only one of the cars survived and was repainted a cream color. It was last seen in Los Angeles in 2009.
