An 80's classic that gets a better DVD treatment! Nov 17, 2009
Neil Page (Steve Martin) is your typical businessman who had a meeting in New York as he must go back to his home in Chicago to see his family on Thanksgiven. Unfortunately he gets a terrible curse and that curse is Dell Griffeth (John Candy) who is a fat and obnoxious shower-certain salesman who is causing Neil's trip to Chicago from plane, train and car a living nightmare for two days.
A hilarious, heart-felt and exciting comical road trip romp from John Hughes is his best besides "Sixteen Candles" and "Ferris Bueller". Even though it's rated "R" for some swearing, it can still be enjoyed by the whole family as this is a heartwarming and funny movie about friendship and sometimes feeling left out. The acting is superb and so is the pacing in this movie, with a brilliant screenplay that feels so original. Featuring appearences by Kevin Bacon and Ben Stein, this movie is definitely a geniune crowdpleaser and my fave of Hughes's movies.
This DVD contains excellent picture and sound with some extras that were not in the bareboned DVD such as three featurettes including a tribute to the late John Hughes and a deleted scene.

FINALLY! A great movie. Nov 03, 2009
What needs to be said but -- FINALLY it is here. I am so sickof seeing it dubbed and cut on TV -- YOU know the scene I am talking about... gobble gobble!
It has the extra doo-dads and one deleted scene on the airplane which is pretty funny!
Get this DVD.. NOW! :-)

I think they cut it out because it was too long.

Thank goodness. It's about time this comedy classic gets the special edition treatment!!!! Oct 11, 2009
I've always enjoyed P.T.A. because of the star power of Steve Martin and John Candy they delivered in this film. Also the movie has some famous lines like "those aren't pillows!" I am pleased that Paramount has made the time to punch out the SE edition , especially just in time a month before Thanksgiving!!

yay, brownie scene! Sep 24, 2009
I'm giving this 5 stars first, because it's a great movie, one of my favorite comedies. The other reason is that the "dinner" scene ( or "brownie" scene ) on the plane is one of my favorite scenes in the movie that is inexplicably taken out most of the time it's shown on TV and on all of the DVDs. The scene is classic, if you like the movie already and haven't got a chance to catch this scene, you need to.
I don't care about extra features, I usually don't watch them more than once, if that, so my rating is for the movie and the added scene ... finally.

Enough with the pillows already Sep 11, 2009
One of my all-time favorites, but come on..."Those Aren't Pillows Edition"? Are we all twelve years old? Also the cheesy repackaging of the box art as if this were a Christmas movie is annoying.
While the end of the movie gets far too sappy for my tastes, the rest of it is classic, with or without the famous cut scene (dinner on the plane). It would also be fun to have the alternate scene at the car rental counter (the one with PG language for TV airing).
Given that John Hughes recently died, I would hope they can add some kind of appreciation on this release. Ideally (but unrealistically) I would love to hear a commentary with Martin where he could add some insights on both Hughes as well as his costar, the late, great John Candy. Am I the only one who can't believe that Candy died over fifteen years ago?
