Editor's Notes

Note

C-Tier Paramount 4K. John Hughes' Thanksgiving classic with Steve Martin and John Candy. The 4K transfer was widely panned, with multiple reviews calling it one of the worst on the format. The lost hour of deleted footage was found and included as a bonus, which was the real draw. The Blu-ray was already mediocre, and the 4K is only marginally better. Paramount needs to redo this one without the grain reduction.
