Dutch

"John Hughes does a little recycling with Dutch, borrowing heavily from Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Two mismatched guys on a road trip during the Thanksgiving holiday season. The similarities mostly end there. Dutch is not a joke-a-minute comedy, it leans pretty far towards drama most of the time. It has some unnecessary fat that could have been cut, but it's really not a bad movie at all. It has a darker edge, a more realistic approach, than certain other Hughes movies. Maybe that's why it was never a big hit. I liked it a lot. Ed O'Neill and Ethan Randall (now known as Ethan Embry) make for a great team, with some solid but scattered laughs. Their relationship seemed very believable."
