| Mine: |
Unfunny, unbelievable and quite depressing and sad. If you are going to do something this dark, you should have something to say, or a least some style. Terrible stuff.

| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Bittersweet farce about a businessman trying to get home for Thanksgiving who encounters disaster at every turn and has to share most of it with a lout who becomes his steadfast companion. Martin mostly plays straight to the overbearing Candy, but writer-director Hughes refuses to make either one a caricature--which keeps this amiable film teetering between slapstick shenanigans and compassionate comedy. Five demerits, however, for that awful music score.
