Not only are the two leads relatable characters, but they also interact with each other and are part of interactions in a way that comes across as authentic and genuine. Other characters around them use platitudes, swear, are uncouth, and come from a variety of economic backgrounds, from the service workers they interact with to their fellow passengers. The movie was shot all over Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles in the Spring of , and despite a demanding schedule, Hughes insisted on shooting every aspect of his screenplay, which clocked in at incredibly abnormal 90 pages for a comedy.
The movie never stays on a scene for too long and there are always more hilarious hijinks on the horizon. There are plenty of absurd situations in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles , from a discarded cigarette exploding a car to the torched car crashing through the wall of a motel, but the absurdity is never at the expense of drama.
The movie has a perfect balance of heart and humor. Most buddy movies like this have one-note archetypes in the lead roles. Hughes used archetypes as a jumping-off point for both Neal and Del — the former being a high-strung corporate suit and the latter being a friendly optimist oblivious to the problems he causes — but he rounds them out as three-dimensional human beings.
Both have been hailed as comedy legends since the beginning of their career. But even if there were a bunch of other well-known Thanksgiving movies, that would probably still be the case. Neal warming to Del and eventually inviting him over for dinner is the ultimate Thanksgiving story. At its heart, Planes, Trains and Automobiles is about the inherent danger of judging a book by its cover — of judging people based on a moment in time.
