People always complain when remakes are announced (me included), but as much as I love the original – I think this one might work out okay: “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” starring WILL SMITH and KEVIN HART.
The original came out in 1987, and starred STEVE MARTIN and JOHN CANDY as two guys forced to team up on a disastrous road trip to get to their respective homes in time for Thanksgiving.
Martin was pretty much the straight man, while Candy’s character was good-natured and well-meaning, but at the same time disaster-prone and a little annoying.
I think it’s obvious that we can expect Kevin Hart in the John Candy role.
