A surprisingly powerful, and incredibly funny, little movie led by two terrific performances and John Hughes' razor sharp script.

It is, of course, always a pleasure to watch Martin's steam-gauge face register his rising internal pressures and to witness his exquisitely expressed blowoffs. But Candy offers even more insinuating delights.

It's a fine cinematic treat that doesn't demand much from a viewer, but gives back a lot, both in terms of laughter and good feeling.

The finest comedy screenplay John Hughes ever wrote.

Man versus technology has been one of the staples of screen comedy since the earliest silent days, and Hughes makes the most of the format here packing as many of the frustrations of modern life as he can into this calamitous travelog of roadside America.

One of the funniest films ever made...

Expertly executed and very funny road movie that mixes physical, verbal and situational comedy to memorable and highly likeable effect.

The film does have its scattered moments. But too often, the audience has as much reason as Del and Neal do to wonder where, if anywhere, they are going.

Typically Hughes: funny, zany, silly, a little bit dull and annoying, and, eventually, a whole lot sentimental.

Essentially, it's the stars' keenly observed nuances of character that make this comedy amiable enough.
