Advertising exec Neal Page just wants to fly home to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his family. But all Neal gets is misery – in the shape of Del Griffith – a loud-mouthed, lovable, optimistic, eternally upbeat salesman who leads Neal on a cross-country, wild-goose chase that keeps Neal from tasting his turkey. If it’s painful, funny or just crazy, it’ll happen to Neal and Del – two guys with a knack for making the worst of a bad situation – it’s every traveller’s nightmare in a comedy-come-true.
