Film Illiterate, wherein the proprietor records movies seen, and sporadic progress through assorted lists of the "best". Originally started after regretfully renting something forgettable for the third time. I've forgotten what, but never again! A tedious endeavour since 2005. Hello. 🙂
Advertising executive Neal (Steve Martin) has a bad time trying to get home to his family in Chicago for Thanksgiving, with unlikely companion Del (John Candy), a shower curtain ring salesman. An odd-couple comedy about a long series of setbacks suffered with (on Neal's part) ill grace.
John Candy is wonderful and I'm starting to see why his passing was so mourned. It's actually a little problematic; he's so likeable that Steve Martin's character rapidly becomes unsympathetic.
