A lovely holiday go-to that rewards each additional viewing with subtle details. For example, when someone steals Neal's taxi at the beginning, there's a quick close-up on a shower ring floating in a puddle. The end goes just a little over-the-top with its heartwarmingness, but by then the comedy's been witty and biting enough to make up for it. ( )

Two strangers try to get to Chicago by Thanksgiving.

2/4 (Indifferent).

I guess this is meant to be a comedy? I don't get it. ( )
