  Planes, Trains and Automobiles 1987

  ★½ Watched 22 Mar 2025

  Conveniently inconvenient. Set up enough for a payoff but not clever or complex enough for it to be satisfying or subvert your expectations.

  It pains me to rate it this low and I really really wanted this movie to be good and to love it but with the pacing, writing, and ending I just couldn’t enjoy it.

  The set design, Ryan, and Margot Robbie were all fantastic though. Ryan in particular was COMMITTED to the part and the set design was yk, Barbie.
  Its just everything else that brought it down. 

  
  The way I see this movie is that it has 2 sides.…
