Will Smith and Kevin Hart are remaking one of the best comedies of the '80s: Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
was one of a run of ‘80s hit comedies from writer/director John Hughes. A perennial Thanksgiving favorite, it’s the story of two men with two diametrically opposed sensibilities struggling to make it home for the holiday as a blizzard derails all conventional means of travel. Steve Martin and John Candy starred in the original, forging an amazing comedic duo that should’ve starred in like eight different movies together but only appeared this one time.
That’s a really high bar to clear, but don’t count out the first-time team-up of one of the biggest box office stars of the last 25 years and the biggest stand-up comedian of the century. Carr’s written for a number of hilarious sitcoms, and the premise is pretty simple and universal, so this is a remake that might actually have a reason to exist beyond banking on nostalgia and a recognizable name.
