Thanksgiving is a holiday where you extend your gratitude to not just family members, but anyone who has every helped you out in your life. That's what uptight Neal (Steve Martin) has to slowly come to grips with in this movie when he meets the goofy Del (John Candy). At first, Neal is annoyed by Del's antics and demeanors, but over time, as Del helps Neal get closer and closer to his destination, even sharing hardships, the two soon realize they need each other. There are plenty of comedic moments as they two struggle to get to Neal's destination, some of them are laugh out lout funny! When you least expect it, there are some strong emotional moments that pierce right to the soul, and will stick with you for a long time. What will happen to these two once Neal reaches his destination? That is for you to find out, but I'll tell you one thing you'll return to this every Thanksgiving year after year!
