Story line: it's two day till thanksgiving and Neil page just finish his business trip in new York city and all he wants to do is catch his flight back to Chicago to be with his family for the holiday. Instead, his flight got cancelled and he meets an over friendly guy with a huge blabbermouth and tell to many bad jokes. Pretty much the guy you don't want to get stuck with and the one that would drive you insane.Del Griffith the corky zany shower curtain salesman who always has some kind of advice decided to accompany Neil in the same direction as his home of Chicago. This movie is hilarious comedy that turns into a mini-drama at the middle and at the end of the movie. As for the casting of this movie john candy and Steve martin were perfect for the parts. Especially john candy. He really brought the character of Del to life. They are complete opposites. One of my most favorite scenes was the bathroom scene when they had to share a single hotel room with one bed for the night. You can really learn about there characters in this funny part. Neil page was in the shower and when he went to get out the bathroom was a mess not just a mess but beyond messy. If this were your bathroom your mom would ground you for life. Del left Ne
I think dirty disgusting slob would characterize it. . There is only one bed in the room and this is when they realized they were going to have to share it. Then the shot panned all the way around the room in a circular motion as if it camera was spinning in a circle from the center of the room. This shot keeps on coming back and there are little subtle changes like the lights go out. Sounds are very important in a movie. This is where he started to verbally assault Del. The next shot was an angle upward shot to kind of show where Neil was standing down to where he was now laying. He is not in the camera's view except for a close up of his boots. It is a very still shot of the front of his house with no movement except snow falling and the lights are on. You could here tons of background noises, car horns, footsteps, screeching of tires, people talking, people yelling, and most of all the characters huffing and puffing while the are running. With out all of these things the movie would be just boring. Next you see his dirty ripped blue jeans then his typical red "hick like" flannel.
