Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.Despite this movie releasing in 1986, this movie actually dates really well. With the focus being much more on the horror of real estate and property maintenance, things like smart phones aren’t relevant to the story. This could easily be rebooted beat for beat as all the points are still relevant today and the script is well written.
I’m not sure who the equivalent actors to Tom Hanks (“Forest Gump”) and Shelley Long (“Cheers”) are today, but they would have to be quality expressionists to make the movie work. While some of the jokes are baked into the script with situational destruction around the house, it really is the actor performances that sell the emotion and charm of the movie.
Well worth the watch, and the trip in the way back machine.
Tonally confused direction, a terminally contrived plot and inconsistent character actions make this nothing more than a light 1980s curio. Too bad, because Hanks and Long do show some chemistry here.
Mr. Hanks builds his dream (make that “nightmare”) house
I know, the critics ripped at “The Money Pit” when it got released. They apparently didn’t realize that it wasn’t pretending to be a masterpiece; it was a big excuse to be funny, and they succeed. Some of the gags her seem to forecast the equally funny “Mousehunt”. Personally, I think that Tom Hanks needs to act in some more comedies, and Shelley Long needs to get more roles in movies. My favorite scene? Well, I get the giggles whenever I think of the whole chain reaction. Just the kinds of things about which anyone should worry when moving into a new house (although my family didn’t have such experiences when we moved into our house).All in all, it shows that Richard Benjamin is as great a director as he is an actor. My generation ought to give him the recognition that my parents’ generation gave him. Also starring Alexander Godunov (one of the Amish guys in “Witness”), Maureen Stapleton, Joe Mantegna and Josh Mostel.
Good Memories
I loved this movie. Granted, I was a teen when I first saw it, but even so, I laughed often and that is my standard of judgment. Shelley Long is as good as she was in Cheers (which is gooood). Tom Hanks shows off the early “Bosom Buddies” hopes of physical comedy genius here in a way that he never did again. The bee-attack scene to the flight of the Bumblebee violin solo is fabulous. the whole “We’re Sitting on a Dream” sequence with the stairs and doorbell and raccoon and the bathtub is hilarious but PEOPLE. Come on. The entire collapsing stairs bit is the best, capped off by Hanks sweet little blown kiss at the end … slayed me. My brother and I still reference it whenever everything is more crap than bearable, and we always will. I think this is an overlooked gem and will always have it in my video catalogue. Finally, a quote: Paint. Don’t tickle. Alexander Gudonow will be missed.
