You should check out Uncle Buck. The frustration is the comedy. This is one of the best comedies of its time.
Plus, it really is John Candy at the top of his game.
Was just about to recommend this. I still quote that movie all the time.
The Great Outdoors

@@archangel0891 The massive steak he had to eat, including the fat and grizzle
John Candy is the most lovable actor who ever lived.
it's honestly a toss up between john and chris farley.
Also came here to say Chris Farley.
Chris Farley is amazing for someone who did so much cocaine.
Black Sheep and Tommy Boy are legendary.
Excuse me, 13 year old Natalie Portman is the most lovable actor who ever lived.
@@jbrisby just because she was the cute kid in "The Professional" doesnt make her the most lovable actor.
“I like me. My wife likes me.” Then Steve Martin figures out he’s a widower. So touching!
Makes you wonder why Steve Martin's wife likes HIM. He's a jerk throughout the film.
@@Nefarioso He literally isn't, though. He's just an introvert on a mission!
“Where’s your other hand?” “Between two pillows.” “Those aren’t pillows!” I die laughing every time I see that scene .
How bout those bears. lol
I just died laughing reading your comment 😂
The Lost Version of Planes, Trains and Automobiles | A Docu-Mini czcams.com/video/fEtOEoyqj6k/video.html the John Huges cut may get released Iit`s about 3 hours long and you can see remains of that version in the public release version... Release the cut version......
@@jimmark8065 Helluva game...helluva game...Bears got a great team dis year...they're gonna go alla way dis year...
John Candy: "Mog, I'm a mog. Half man, half dog".
"I'm my own best friend." :D
When she said "cat thing" I was like yelling at the screen, HE WAS A MOG AND HIS NAME WAS BARF" Cat thing, sheesh. :)
I only relate mog to moogles
mmmff.....mmmmupphh....baaaaaarrrrrrf!!!
When she questioned the Mog. I immediately went into the comments to see if it was mentioned. I was too late. lol
This movie really makes me miss John Candy 😢 Gone way to soon😢
The "to" you mean, has two "o"'s, it's "too". Not to be THAT girl but.😊
Also, did you know John Candy had his own cartoon show?? It's called CAMP CANDY. Look it up.💗
@@sammylane21 "I don't mean to be THAT girl" so you proceed to be THAT GIRL. is it to much for you to handle letting it go? They're comment wasn't that bad. then you have too stick you're nose in it. and now so did I. Too hell we go.
@@jollyrogerhobbies2386 Settle down, champ, it's just CZcams comments.
@@Entertainzor I was completely joking. Well, sarcastic joke. Hence the use of there're to and too in my comment.
So this is the original monologue at the end.
"I didn't have much family. A brother in Montana, some cousins, Marie's folks died back-to-back, the year after we were married. They were pretty old. She was a late child. We didn't have any kids. We had plans. She wanted three kids. Two boys, and a girl. She couldn't have any, though. So we didn't and I guess it's just as well. I number about 300 motels as my home. I sort of attach myself to people from time to time. Like with you. Especially around the holidays. I can take it in March, July, October. I don't mind it. But it gets hard about this time of year. I've never had much of a chance to be a family man but it gets really hard. And you know what it is? I don't get to give any of myself to anybody. It's not the getting I miss, it's the giving. I sat on that plane with you and I thought about you heading home to be with your people. And Tuesday night when you were in the shower and I looked at the picture of your kids, man, I thought you gotta be the luckiest man on Earth to go home and put those little guys on your knee and hug 'em and kiss 'em. I'm thirty-nine years old and I never had that ... and I never will. I'm sorry about all this. I just kinda lost control this time. Every year since Marie's been gone, I've gotten closer and closer to losing it. Usually I can head for a church. I can feel like I'm part of something when I'm in a church. This time... I guess I didn't get to the church fast enough. I just couldn't let go. I vowed I'd never burden anybody with this. And I broke my vow, held you away from your family. Caused you a hell of a lot of trouble. You better run."
It completely changes how you view the movie. And this character. It was cut because the studio wanted a much less poignant and much funnier movie. There were a number of cuts like that to this film.
Ouch. Even the months nearly hit home - April, July, and Sept. I am grateful to have two kids though, my eldest is a bit of a ghost but her brother and I talk often. Once you (I) get over the tough...it's time for the next rough. Makes pulling out of the low pretty damn hard.
The original cut of this movie was like three and a half hours long. By the time they cut everything down there was more cut footage than footage left in the film. There is a whole other Planes Trains and Automobiles out there we will never get to see.
Actually, I figured most of those things out with the original ending without the literalness of words. It's evident that he would be triggered at that time of year and that he also attaches to people in an unhealthy way because of it. Also, the delay wasn't entirely his fault, so it's ok they left out the blaming himself thing. I think that monologue would've been too condescending to the audience.
The monologue was cut because the test audience laughed at it and also thought it made Del look bad. In the original cut Neal gets home and Del is in his home town train station waiting for him (and he then does the monologue) which made Del look manipulative/stalkery. The solution was to reverse the shot of the train leaving the station (look closely and you can see a man in the background walking backwards) and add some outtake footage of Neal thinking about things Del had said so it looks like Neal went back for him. It works better because then it's Neal bringing Del home with him rather than Del just turning up and latching on.
I don't think the monologue is necessary. We know enough about Del without it.
At least we can see over an hour of deleted scenes now with the 4K release that's available now.
I think this was John Candy's best movie. What a shame he died.
Overweight in the 80's was a death sentence for sooooo many people. Lost my dad when he was only 65.
"Cool Runnings" was pretty good and probably his last good movie IMO.
@@johnlloyddy7016 really, what about the "Great Outdoors"
@@morvous1 great outdoors came out 5 years before cool runnings
Dewey Oxberger in “Stripes.” Hard to top that.
The book being read by Del in the airport is a fictional title called “The Canadian Mounted”. It’s also being read by Deadpool in Deadpool 2. I think it was Ryan Reynolds’ tribute to fellow Canadian, John Candy.
And yes, Uncle Buck is a must see!
If its the only two instances of a fictional book its def Ryan Reynolds giving a nod to John Candy. And the implication that this took place in the universe where Deadpool exists is oddly satisfying. Gonna have to look for that next watch.
It's actually a real book. I know that for a fact.
@@plk5520 Do you, though?
Add me to the chorus for "Uncle Buck" next , as my John Candy favorite film. It really does showcase his talents.
CANDY was a mog in Spaceballs, half man half dog. He was his own best friend
John Candy who spoke those immortal words "Park's closed folks, Moose out the front should of told you"
should 'have' told you. should've = should + have.
@@highstimulation2497 Good on you time-waster, we know the grammar Police never sleep.
You need to see John Candy in
"Summer rental"
"The Great Outdoors"
No
Yes
and uncle buck!
@@kona883 she's already been disappointed by 2 John Candy movies, dude
Uncle Buck
John Candy's face at the end when he sees him kiss his wife... it's heartbreaking.
He was such a good actor.
In a deleted storyline, Steve Martin's wife thinks he must be having an affair, so she is delighted when she meets the real Del and it's not a made up story.
Make sure that you watch "UNCLE BUCK" with John Candy, it's also directed by John Hughes, & has Macaulay Culkin in it too! it's a MUST SEE!!
You should check out Scrooged for your Christmas movies
Definitely. I have to watch it every year.
@@ronweber1402 It's one of the big four things I watch every year. If I miss any of them, I don't feel like I've had a Christmas. The others are Blackadder's Christmas Carol, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol. So far this year, I've seen the last one. And Scrooged is on TV next Tuesday. That's 50% of my Christmas sorted.
Nat through the whole movie: *Anxiety noises*
Nat after the movie: Really sweet movie!
You need to watch "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels".
Yes. Hilarious movie.
Absolute classic!
Also starring My Cocaine
@@DurkMcGerk lmao .
Do you know it's a remake? The original is called _Bedtime Story_and stars Marlon Brando, David Niven, and Shirley Jones. www.imdb.com/title/tt0057878/
Kevin Bacon makes a cameo because he was going to be in Hughes next movie “she’s having a baby”. Also when Martin’s wife is watching a movie in bed the dialogue you hear is from “she’s having a baby”.
It was the previous JH movie he was in and he lived in NY at the time so glad to play the part
Apparently, my great grandfather could t stop laughing at that scene with the customer service lady at the car rental place. He thought you couldn’t swear in a movie, and when Steve Martin said fuck roughly 20 times he just broke down laughing 😂
that scene is why the movie is R rated. the studio couldn't talk them out of doing it lol
and honestly i can see why, hard to imagine this movie without it
Well, IMDB sure is getting a lot of hits tonight from people who don't remember John Candy being in Home Alone.
He wasn't in it was he?
@@rockyseverino9230 He was the polka player who offered the mom a ride back home in the van.
@@Eidlones I haven't seen the movie in a long, long time, so I didn't remember that. I'm one of the ones who checked IMDB. LOL
@@AnOldYoungGuy I always enjoyed seeing him in the movie, since he was such a kind and lovable presence, so he stuck out to me :)
So many people didn't know Catherine O'Hara was in Home Alone that it was trending on twitter the other day. I guess a lot of people these days only know her from Schitt's Creek.
John Candy was such a great comedic actor. Wish he was still with us.
“You’re going the wrong way!!!!! “
“He said we’re going the wrong way.”
“Oh he’s drunk, how would he know where we’re going??”
Lol
"I'm not a fan of the 'freeze frame' (ending"
As soon as I heard you say that, I was immediately reminded of the great 80's comedy series, 'POLICE SQUAD!'...they spoofed the entire concept of the 'freeze frame' ending EVERY episode...here's an example...
czcams.com/video/HIteXqJjCyA/video.html
You should watch "Cool Runnings" which also had John Candy in it. Definitely check that one out!
Jamaica has a bobsled team! 🎶
I don't know if it's a wider thing than this, but everyone I know who grew up in Australia in the 90s watched that movie all the time growing up.
wow, never even HEARD of that one
8:43, in a deleted scene, it's revealed that it's the Pizza delivery boy, who stole from them after he gets stiffed on his delivery.
Hahaha the funny part is he didn’t get stiffed, dell paid him a dollar in pennies as a tip!
@@heyimgoingtoplaysomegames oh god that’s worse. No wonder he’s pissed.
@@Heiryuu Hahaha yep! I watched a video about the lost 3 hour version of the movie, and there’s all kind of gold that links up little connections and setups we see throughout the release we got :)
I was waiting with anticipation for the "socks scene" in the airplane! I knew you were going to freak! LOL!
John Candy in the devil costume is my favorite part of this movie. He was such a great comic.
That was John Candy's idea too!
I. Love. John. Candy. Everybody loves John candy. He was like Chris Farley and Tom Hanks rolled up into one genuinely lovely person
I wept the day John Candy passed away . So sad .
Volunteers
movies don't have good long monologues any longer because writers don't have an original thought in their head any longer, If you like John Candy watch Summer Rental
"Just rent a car Steve" Because things are going to go so smoothly once that happens.
my grandpa and steve martin were good friends while they were magicians in anaheim, CA i just found out. My dad passed away and he had old 8mm film of his dad and there was steve martin! :D
Every time Steve comes back and John Candy tells him Marie died eight years ago I cry. John Candy's the best, one of few who can make you laugh one minute, and cry the next. I would definitely recommend Uncle Buck, and Armed and Dangerous (with Eugene Levy and Meg Ryan).
Yeah, extra sad since assuming they where close in age, Marie died young, like around 30.
3:02, love the Kevin Bacon Cameo, And makes me wish that him and Steve Martin were in a Movie, playing bickering neighbors.
Well, it's not those two, but you might like "Neighbors," with John Belushi & Dan Akroyd.
That was a crossover scene with another Kevin Bacon movie, where we see it following him.
Please watch the following John Candy-movies :
-Uncle Buck
-The Great Outdoors
-Who's Harry Crumb ?
-Armed and Dangerous
-Only the Lonely
-Cool Runnings
glad i'm not the only one that looks back fondly at Armed and Dangerous
She's already been disappointed by two of his movies!
Delirious was good, too.
@@garretthenderson5738 I'm Pinkus, he's McCarthy.
Nothing But Trouble is severely underrated.
"Well, at least you're in a car. You have a much better chance in a car."
Yeah... you'd think. LOL!
Ok so if you are watching Christmas comedies PLEASE watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. Absolutely hilarious Christmas movie, as well as an overall comedy movie in general
Written by John Hughes. Chris Columbus was meant to direct Christmas Vacation, but couldn't work with Chevy Chase, so John Hughes gave him another film to direct. It was called Home Alone.
One of the best John Hughes movies ever!
"You're on a bus! What about this is sexy?!" Very good. lol.
Steve Martin's character didn't pack light, remember the taxi that drove off with all his bags. :)
"I... I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. Because I'm the genuine article. What you see is what you get."
"I don't have a home. Marie's been dead for eight years."
I've seen this movie more times than I can count, and those two scenes still make me break out into tears like Niagara Falls. This was one of Candy's finest performances, hands down. He was such a great actor with such an amazing body of work.
I would definitely recommend LA Confidential.
The part where John Candy suddenly becomes Satan will never cease to make me burst out laughing. To this day, if someone in traffic does something stupid as hell, I do that laugh to break up the tension.
He was flying to Chicago because he really did work for the shower curtain ring outfit, and had a multi-state sales route. After he lost his wife and his home, his trunk and his job were all he had left. And he did it -- with a smile and a positive attitude. Very lovable character.... AND actor!
19:10
Just because you live somewhere doesn’t mean it’s a home, sometimes it just a place you have to be.
Steve Martin had a home, Candy just had a place to go
I miss John Candy ! ❤️R.I.P.❤️
Candy is in Home Alone but a very small part. I totally forgot he was in it until someone mentioned it recently.
10 seconds in..... Nat says "Is he gonna miss his flight?" And so it begins.
This video was so much fun to watch. Thank you Nat. Welcome to Wichita.
Edit: Also the ending with his wife hugging him looks seemingly overplayed as you pointed out, but again it is due to the fact that in the original cut she thinks he is having an affair. That's why she is waiting upstairs in tears, thinking he's not coming back. So when he shows up with Del, she is so relieved. And she also knows Del's name, as Neal tells her in another deleted scene. A 3 hour cut of this movie would probably push everyone's anxiety to the limit, but I'd still love to see them release it someday.
They released over an hour of previously "Lost" footage the other day on a special edition 4K dvd.
Missed the perfect moment to add a freeze frame right after saying "If there's one thing I hate, it's a freeze frame."
I was hoping she'd end the video with a "Stay golden. Bye!" then freeze frame.
"The world's mightiest heroes."
"Like Kevin Bacon?"
"Not him in this and X-Men : First Class, no."
Good movies if you want to experience more John Candy:
Uncle Buck
Brewster's Millions
Summer Rental
Stripes
He was great in Splash too.
The Great Outdoors is good, also written by John Hughes, but sadly not directed by him.
Wagon's East too.
Volunteers
(Del takes off shoe in plane) Nat: "Oh no!"
(Del takes off sock) Nat:" NOOOOOOOOOOO!!"
Lots of triggers for Natalie in this movie. Alternate cut has Del's late wife in the trunk.....kidding.
Love the cardigan and your "will wear in any weather" attitude.
I mean, can't have a holiday theme without Christmas Vacation...
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is my number one Holiday movie. Then, A Muppet Christmas Carol. Christmas isn't Christmas until I've watched both of those :D
Merry Christmas! Shitter was full
That’s the fastest I’ve ever clicked on anything!
Same, I love this movie or
You should check out Uncle Buck. That's my favorite John Candy movie.
Yes!
I had to snicker when she was relieved when they got into car knowing what's about to happen lol
I am so disappointed we didn't get to see your reaction to John Candy's response to Steve Martin's tirade. You talked right through it.
Little late to this reaction but she talked through a lot of scenes.
I was looking for a comment like this. I 100% agree. While I genuinely like her reviews, she talks WAYYYY too much and she always talks right through some of the key emotional or funny moments in the movies she reviews. I really like commentary and I don't want someone to just silently sit through a movie and barely react, but she takes it way too far to the other extreme and just goes off on unrelated tangents and skips parts of the reaction people specifically look forward to. It's kind of getting annoying. Talk about the movie and what we're watching. Nobody cares about when movies used to have monologues.
A lot of energy drinks died in making this video. A moment of silence please.
Can you explain how you cry during Captain American and not during Planes Trains and Automobiles? Are you a robot?
13:11 I don't know that there's ever been a greater rant in comedy history.
Martin is on fire and McClurg is great as always.
You should watch Beverly Hills Cop with Eddie Murphy
Yes! I don’t think there are any reactions to that on CZcams.
Yes, and Trading places, Coming to America, and the Golden Child.
48 Hours!
Natalie please make the movie volume the same as your volume! I love your reactions anyway. Uncle Buck, Uncle Buck, Uncle Buck!
Good point about monologues. Modern audiences dont talk in their real lives, so everything is a clever quip or snappy retort in modern movies. I saw a movie from teh 50's once where a guy walks into a room full of people, walks to a coat rack, hangs his coat up and then proceeds to speak to the room. You can never have that much dead air in a movie anymore.
At the beginning of the movie, he thought that he could make the flight because flying at that time was much easier. You could pretty much just show up at the airport, buy a ticket, and walk on the plane. See the beginning of "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" for a demo.
Yeah, with the drawn out meeting it would be cutting it close, but still feasible back then. No having to show up 3 hours early and go through an hour of security.
Yeah that extra long meeting really screwed him. I mean ever see the end credit scene 🤣
He flew to Chicago because he's a traveling salesman. That's why he has that big trunk. He lives on the road now, traveling from place to place selling shower curtain rings. Probably why he's so friendly too. He doesn't have a home, where his friends and family live, so he makes friends whenever he can while travelling.
Nat: "Remember when movies used to have monologues all the time?"
Everybody watching Nat talk through the whole movie: "............."
;)
I love her videos, but nat did talk ALOT through this one 🤣
Dang... I totally checked out on this one.
Thanks for saying what I was thinking.
AnOldYoungGuy Yeah, I feel like she completely missed the spirit of this film. I’m ten minutes in & checking out.
@@susanmaggiora4800 It's like she's never seen a comedy before. Yes, weird and illogical things are happening; that's what humor is all about. Also seemed to miss the pathos of John Candy's character, and the assholery of Steve Martin.
John Candy is a treasure RIP. I would love to see you react to more of his movies!
John candy was a master at emotional comedy, could literally have u laughing and crying in an instant, just a great actor
Though that could be more in America, not everyone reacts like that to mainstream comedy like that.
For more John Candy, GOtta watch Uncle Buck
Hey Natalie, what's up? Love this movie. They Spoofed parts of this in an episode of Family Guy called Baby Not On Board which was a parody of John Hughes films.
So?
john cadies character is flying to chicago because he might not have a home but hes still a travelling salesman, hes just always on the move and staying in hotels
You are like my grandfather. His opinion is also very important when he's watching tv. From this day you will be my pretend grandfather.
Omg so much love for this movie, you are the bestest! You have to watch Uncle Buck though.
Fact:The original cut of this film was well over 3 and a half hours. I absolutely enjoyed this movie, and the performances of both Steve Martin and John Candy were both funny and moving. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and reactions to this classic film Natalie. Be well and stay golden.
This is one of my favorite films of all time. It never fails to make me cry in the exact same scene every time. RIP Mr. Candy.
Del Griffith was flying to Chicago just to probably stay at a hotel. The plane cancellation, the loss of money, ended up ruining any sort of chance making his reservation at hotel. He probably lost the room was he could not make it. It was also 1987 where they had no cell phones or internet back then where it would be eaiser to confirm a hotem reservation
Such a feel good, funny and heart warming film. I love this movie. RIP John Candy. I've heard there is an unreleased alternate cut to this film, but never looked into it, because I like this movie just as it is. Uncle Buck is the best John Candy film imho.
Just a script and a few scenes. The original cut was 3 hours long. The studio is unsure if the footage is archived somewhere. There’s a CZcams video describing this uncut version but it’s a lot of speculation.
@@Herovirtigo Ah, cool. Thanks for the info.
you need to watch "the Jerk" my fav steve martin movie of all time
Wow...I didn’t think anyone could suck the enjoyment out of this film. Congratulations.
SO glad you are checking out one of my favorite Classics! Happy Holidays!
Did her terrible reaction ruin it for you?
The fact that the ending didn't make you cry makes me worry about you.
Yeah... she has become more obnoxious and unlikable with each reaction...
That’s what success can do to some people.
A Christmas Story, a MUST watch for the Holliday season. "You'll shoot your eye out" the leg lamp, Christmas dinner scene. To many awesome moments to list here.
Grew up watching a Christmas story
Love that movie! watch it every christmas
I live about 4 miles from the Christmas Story House in Cleveland. There is a line to get down that street around this time.
Great movie, I've always found it funny that A Christmas Story and Black Christmas were both directed by Bob Clark.
I bought that leg lamp for my dad one year for Christmas. Best gift reaction I've ever had. Now he asks me for a Red Ryder every year hahaha
The best movie. Really how do you watch this and not cry at little at the end. This is the first movie I watch during the Christmas season. Love the movie. So great.
I agree with the freeze frame sentiment up to a point, but Police Squad! really nailed them
You kids today need to watch more John Candy
And talk A LOT less. She missed 90% of the dialogue and didn't allow the film to speak to her. Too cynical, loud and tuned out of the spirit of this wonderful film.
IT’S A MOVIE!!!!
60 degrees damn. I spent my day shoveling 18 inches of snow in two drive ways. On a more related point this is by far my favorite "holiday" film.
How could you NOT die laughing during the car rental scene?!
For a Christmas movie, I suggest looking up a movie called Santa Claus: The Movie.
P.S. I recently discovered there is a post credit scene in Planes, Trains and Automobiles
This is the only good thanksgiving movie i can think of.
So many good Christmas movies, but Die Hard is the best.
7:48 I want a gif from THAT reaction. That is absolutely perfect. Love your content, Natalie! Always happy to be here.
I was so bummed that November passed and you hadn't reacted to this movie, so now I'm super happy, lol. And it's even better watching you get grossed out exasperated at every turn, rofl.
Does it bother anyone else that cover art for Planes Trains and Automobiles has been changed to look like a Christmas movie? The photoshopped gift boxes and candy cane sign? Why can't a Thanksgiving movie be left a Thanksgiving movie?
Good point
It's for the international market. No idea why they use it for the US release though.
Miracle on 34 th street happens at Thanksgiving.
DAMN YOU CAN BE LOUD.
She’s OBNOXIOUS.
In case you didn't watch it yet, watch Bowfinger, with Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy! It's absolutely hysterical! :)
Congrats...you're the only person I've seen in 30+ years who didn't cry at the end of this movie...and I'm not sure that's a good thing :/
She’s obnoxious
Please next time reaction to The Airplane or The Naked Gun
+1
Yes
So she can ruin those too?
The quintessential Christmas holiday movie is Die Hard. Fight me.
Any argument you can make also applies to The Shining.
Fine. It's not a christmas movie. For a movie to be a christmas movie, it has to be about christmas, not merely set at christmas. You could set Die Hard at literally any time of the year and it would be the same movie. The only thing that would be different is that the lines mentioning christmas would be changed to standard cheesy 80s action movie dialogue. That's it.
John could be going to visit his family for a birthday. The party in the movie could easily be a new year's party..which would let you keep the christmas decorations.
For a movie to be a christmas movie, christmas has to be part of the plot. If you take christmas out of Die Hard, the feel of the movie will be the same. If you take christmas out of a christmas movie, the entire vibe of the movie will change. The feel of Die Hard wouldn't change.
@@Entertainzor who says Shining is a christmas movie ?
@@Entertainzor I wouldn't fully agree that Die Hard is _the quintessential_ Christmas film, but it's definitely more so than The Shining. I get it, they're both set during Christmas, but even though neither Action nor Horror films are usually seen as typical Christmas films, at least Die Hard makes frequent references to the season all the way through.
It has various Christmas songs and Christmas themed sounds in it's score , It takes place during a Christmas office party, Christmas decorations are abundant, Christmas presents are mentioned, Mclane dresses up Fritz (Karl's brother) as Santa in the lift (who can forget Hans Grubers _Ho...Ho...Ho_ when reading the note) and Theo gives his own interpretation of Twas the Night Before Christmas. There are many more smaller mentions. I can't think of many references to Christmas in The Shining, maybe you can.
It was released in the summer so I don’t consider it a Christmas movie though I like it a lot and have seen it many times.
"the dog is missing teeth? how did they get the dog to do that?"
Natalie...you are adorable.
