Expertly executed and very funny road movie that mixes physical, verbal and situational comedy to memorable and highly likeable effect.

It's a fine cinematic treat that doesn't demand much from a viewer, but gives back a lot, both in terms of laughter and good feeling.

Typically Hughes: funny, zany, silly, a little bit dull and annoying, and, eventually, a whole lot sentimental.

Man versus technology has been one of the staples of screen comedy since the earliest silent days, and Hughes makes the most of the format here packing as many of the frustrations of modern life as he can into this calamitous travelog of roadside America.

The film does have its scattered moments. But too often, the audience has as much reason as Del and Neal do to wonder where, if anywhere, they are going.
