This movie makes me miss John Candy even more. He seemed like such a great person, both on and off camera, and nobody ever seems to say a negative word about him. Much like Del Griffith, John Candy was the "Real Deal, what you see is what you get." Rest in peace, John Candy. Also, John Candy should've gotten an Oscar for this movie.

Definitely. I think that he shows two differening emotions within the same expression, at first, sadness over the reality of his own grief, and secondly, genuine happiness over the reality of his (now) friend's relationship. I would think that those who have walked the path of grief would relate closely to this final scene, as they have experienced it many times over.

John Candy manages to be a super likeable character in every movie he's in, even when he's playing an annoying character. You hit it on the head about John Candy's likeability making Del bearable. I hope you'll eventually watch more of his movies. I'd suggest "Who's Harry Crumb," "The Great Outdoors," and "Uncle Buck" to start, but there are so many more good ones that he was in. I can't actually think of a movie he was in that I didn't like. There may be one out there, but I can't think of any right now. Hope you're having a great weekend! ✌🤓

[@dabe1971]

In the original script there are earlier scenes where Neal's wife is convinced he’s having an affair & that’s the real reason why he’s run into so many ‘delays’ - she believes it's so he can spend time with the other woman. So when Neal finally makes it home, and has Del with him, she knows he was telling the truth all along. That's why she says "Hello Mr Griffiths" and hugs Neal so tenderly. It adds a layer of poignancy but was cut as Hughes felt it was too much sentimentality. I disagree, I think there's been so much hilarity that it could stand a little pathos. The editing also means his wife's acting was a little 'off' as she played it with her suspicions throughout so axing the other scenes makes her seem a little strange to me. Also, the robber in the original script was a pizza delivery kid who’d brought them food earlier. Loads was cut from Hughes’ original screenplay and It had an estimated run time of 3 hours !

[@AlldayAudio]

[@colemanroberts1102]

I'm a little surprised to read these reactions, because I never batted an eye at the wife's reaction to Neal showing up. I presumed it was just the emotion of Neal finally showing up after the ordeal, and managing to make it back in time for dinner.

For the record: yep, Kansas does, in fact, get that cold. My first year out of college I did an internship in Olathe, Kansas and lived in the Overland Park/Shawnee area (home to both Paul Rudd and Ted Lasso himself, Jason Sudeikis!). During the winter, the icing was so bad at one point that the layer of ice coating my car was so thick that I literally couldn't get into my car for several days. It was bonkers. And I say that as someone who grew up in Vermont and went to college at Syracuse, one of the snowiest campuses in America.

[@OldRod99]

As a lifelong Kansas resident, I can confirm - it does get cold here :) Of course, right now, we could use some of that cold...

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Yeah, I spent the first 16 years of my life in northeast Kansas & then moved to Michigan. While Michigan had more snow (I was on the west coast of Michigan, where there’s lots of lake effect snow), Kansas was quite often colder & a lot windier.

[@k333rl]

be glad you're not here now. we've had a 120 degree heat index for like two weeks. we have some of the largest swings in temps. -20 or 30 in the winter and 120 in the summer. get to the west part of the state where i was born and a 40 mph wind is just a breeze.

[@Neo6364]

​@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 Thats funny. I grew up on the west side of the state of Michigan( I moved back a few years ago) and then went to school and lived in Kansas for about 4 years. Michigan definitely gets more snow(lake effect). I remember Kansas getting a consistent dusting pretty well(One year I was there the snow was insane), but there was always just a lot of ice - it made climbing, seemingly the only hill in the state, to get to class(KU in Lawrence) an absolute struggle.

[@douglassnyder214]

Schlemiel/schlimazel is an archetype in Jewish humor. In Yiddish, a schlimazel is an unlucky person. In a restaurant, if the waiter spills the soup, it will land on the schlimazel. A schlemiel is a good hearted person who either brings bad luck to those around him, or is someone who screws things up. A schlemiel is the waiter who spills the soup. In the schlemiel/schlimazel story, the schlimazel always bears the consequences of the schlemiel's screw ups. Hooking up a schlemiel/schlimazel couple makes good comedy, because minor misfortunes are the stuff of great comedy. But, it's always slightly bittersweet because the schlemiel is always a good person at heart who doesn't want to hurt anyone. If done right, it's also a feel good story, because the schlimazel will grow as a person and learn to forgive and accept. This movie and Uncle Buck are Thanksgiving traditions in my family. I love both those movies.

[@MysticLeviathan]

Unfortunately, the film that was released is heavily cut and there’s a lot more in the film. some of it has come to light in the form of low quality deleted scenes, but other stuff we just have the script/dialog. apparently there’s a couple more hours worth of stuff. for example, there’s a subplot where the wife thinks neal is cheating on her with a woman named del, which is why she’s so happy to meet del at the end. another example is the black eye del has at the end, which was from a scene that was cut. And the reason they were robbed in the hotel is del ordered a pizza and gave the delivery guy a pitiful tip, so he robbed them of revenge. the exploding beer cans mentioned in the dialog was part of a cut scene too. there’s a lot we missed out on watching, though some can be seen, albeit in really bad quality. this is one of my favorite movies, but it’ll always be incomplete.

[@itsPoddington]

Same with when Del says that Marie died 8 years ago he gives a big monologue that some can say alters the reason he is invited to Neals home. It seems more manipulative or guilt tripping than Neal just doing so out of the kindness of his heart. I would have liked to see some of the deleted scenes though.

[@Britcarjunkie]

A lot of the disgusting, annoying moments Del puts us through, actually make more sense in hindsight at the end of the movie when you realize he's homeless. He's living out of that giant case being lugged around. He probably has gotten used to washing items in motel bathrooms. He doesn't have a place to take his shoes and socks off. He's living in the moment. It's a perfect outrageous comedy with that satisfying bittersweet moment underneath. It couldn't have been casted better.

[@Cheepchipsable]

There are such things as laundromats.

[@stewartcohen-jones2949]

@Cheepchipsable You obviously haven’t been homeless. Moving around all of the time is like doing a marathon every day . The need to wash yourself and clothes can conflict with places you get food and safe places to sleep. So many factors come into play. The weather, the constant loneliness adds to the chaos. John candy’s character is a loner and he has a bit of pride behind his bad habits . He is the kind of guy who would be taken advantage of in certain drug and violence sodden homeless shelters.

[@joek600]

@@stewartcohen-jones2949 I don’t think that Del is actually homeless, or to be more accurate he is sort of voluntarily homeless, by taking business trip after business trip, only because he doesn’t want to go back to an empty home, since his wife died. He has a job and he apparently is very good at it, but he just keeps himself busy in order to not think of his loneliness. Which is ironically tragic when you consider how naturally gregarious character he is. I have a friend, he is a police officer, who doesn’t have an optimal situation at home and will gladly trade shifts on holidays with colleagues who have families, cause he thinks that they can use the time more. In my head canon Del is just taking on every business trip his colleagues want to avoid, just to stay on the road and busy.

[@thomaspalumbo6482]

You both TOTALLY underplayed the sentimentality of the ending! The pay-off of the movie is when Neil puts the clues together and then goes back to look for Del. The look of remorse on Neil's face when he discovers Dell's situation turns to a look of determination when he lifts up his eyes. He knows what he has to do! The cut to the next scene is BRILLIANT. You see them both carrying Dell's trunk up the street as they walk to Neil's home. This pain-in-the-ass who aggravated him throughout the movie has now become his friend!

[@JustinChristopher-ov7gw]

Great synopsis. I would also add - the symbolism of them carrying the luggage together. The pain and burden of losing his wife is like the luggage and he's trudging it around. But, when he gets a truie friend, it's suddenly much easier to lift and carry. He got by on his good sense of humor and kindness (and selling techniques) but had no true friend.

The thing is, Del is actually a super fun and gregarious guy. The reason Martin's character is so annoyed is he's TRAVELING with him, and Del travels very differently than him. Some of my best friends, who I love dearly, and will always want to hang out with, I'd rather die than travel with, because our styles are so different. I imagine that Del and Neil became friends, and when just hanging in social situations, Neil quite enjoyed being with Del, since he's a fun guy.

this movie borrows heavily from "the out of towners" from the 1970s with Jack Lemmon and "the odd couple" from the sixities also starring jack lemmon... kind of a combo of both movies.

This is a fine opportunity to watch more Steve Martin flicks before everybody else reacts to them. Roxanne (1987) and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) are so underrated. Michael Caine is hilarious in the latter 😅

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is frikkin hilarious, no one on KZbin ever reacts to that one.

GEORGE: 5:15 mark. Witchita, Kansas is almost 600 miles SW of Chicago. More West than South.

[@charlesbarnes6912]

U really should put "the great outdoors" or "summer rentals" on your list 😂

[@sppl]

So, George, where's your OTHER hand in that thumbnail?

[@patticriss2238]

“Who’s Larry Bird”? Blasphemy. Absolute blasphemy. 💔

[@Pavaroso]

"A graying old man..." Steve Martin went prematurely gray in his early 30's. Just sayin'.

For context, I'm a Brit born in 1987, and this and Uncle Buck are household Christmas Films. They are classics! I don't think I realised how many f***s there were in this movie until you mentioned it

[@Squatcho]

The police officer that pulls them over in the burnt rental car (Michael Mckean) plays the lead singer in "This is Spinal Tap" and Chuck McGill in "Better Call Saul"

[@sgray001]

I can't think of another movie ending that rips your heart in half and then immediately puts it back together, better than before.

We watch this every year at Thanksgiving. Absolute classic!

0:56 Simone is what you get when a man uses body wash or skincare products with a large “FOR MEN” on the packaging.

there are 3 people in this movie from ferris beullers day off 1.the guy in the begining at the meeting = ferris beullers father 2.the airport delay call guy = ferris beullers teacher 3.the woman at the car rental desk = the secritary at ferris beullers school

[@msmrsro]

The trooper who stopped them in the burned out vehicle is another comedy legend, Michael Mckean. See Spinal Tap.

I had to laugh so hard when George said to just give up, live there and start a new family. Because, yeah, at some point wouldn't you just think that the universe is saying you can't go back home again? I have had dreams where I am on my way to work, and I'm getting farther and farther away, at some point I'm in Canada (I'm in Michigan), and I don't give up, I keep trying to get to work. And I wake up and laugh my ass off. I'm like at least 7 hours late, so what am I doing? Give up and start a new life where you are, that's the only logical thing to do.

Good synopsis of the movie poster.

[@CaddyJim]

Where *Neal* says the *F* word repeatedly to the woman behind the car rental counter is why this movie has an *R* rating if they would have took that out they would have got a *PG-13* but they refused
