Here's my review for...

PLANES TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES

Ok, so I was racking my brain for a good Thanksgiving movie, and I couldn't come up with one.  That is until of all people Dawn had an idea.  Planes, Trains and Automobiles.  You know the Steve Martin, John Candy movie about two guys who are trying to get home for Thanksgiving.  Sure the movie is about 20 years old but it's a classic.  Steve Martin is a salesman who is trying to get home but runs into unexpected plane trouble.  That's when he meets up with traveling shower ring salesman Del, who is played by John Candy.  The two start to share everything from rental cars, to hotel beds.  The movie is funny from begging until near the end.  That's when you find out the truth about John Candys character.  It's a bummer but you just have to remember all the fun parts of the movie, like when there car is going the wrong way on the freeway and some people tell them that and the response by John Candy is priceless, "How do they know where we are going?"  All in all it is probably the best Thanksgiving movie I have ever seen.  Also it is probably the ONLY Thanksgiving movie I have ever seen too.  I love this movie.
