Money Pit

Money Pit

Amazon.com

Steven Spielberg produced this underwhelming 1986 effort at a slapstick spin on Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. The pre-Oscar Tom Hanks stars with Shelley Long as a married couple whose efforts to finish construction on their home are sabotaged by costly and sporadically funny accidents. The unfinished domicile becomes a metaphor for their troubled relationship, as evidenced by Longs characters attraction to a madman violinist (Alexander Godunov). Hanks is the only reason at this point to check this film out. Richard Benjamin (My Favorite Year) directs but with no flair or distinction. --Tom Keogh.

First of all, what a great comedy!! How many people get sucked into buying a home (thinking its such a great deal) only to find out it will cost them more than buying an expensive home to begin with. I love Tom Hanks and his performance in this film was great once again.

If youre looking for a good laugh and have had some fixer upper woes this is definately the movie for you!

This is a very good early Tom Hanks movie. At times it tries to turn into a movie about relationships, but the best parts are the gags about the house that turns into a nightmare. There are scenes and lines that will have you laughing until you cry. It is definitely worth owning a copy of this on DVD. Its the kind of movie you can watch many times and still enjoy.

Absolutely Hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hilarious and Underrated

I will never understand why this movie was underrated by the critics or anyone. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Just thinking about this movie puts a smile on my face and whenever I need a pick me up or a laugh this is one that I turn to. Tom Hanks and Shelley Long start out as the sweetest, most loving couple, and the trials and tribulations they go through trying to fix up their house would test anyone. Hanks facial expressions and reactions to the problems around him, and Longs attempts to be patient and understanding become hysterical as they struggle to stick together until the house is completed. I could watch this movie once a week and never tire of it, and I laugh until I cry when Hank comes from the kitchen charred and disheveled and when she asks what happened? and he meekly says shaking his head it cant hurt us any more, and then the turkey flies out of the exploding oven and soars through the upstairs bathroom and the popper pops up and Shelly happily says turkeys done. I just bought Peter Sellers The Party - and to me The Money Pit is far funnier. Maybe humor is funniest when we can relate to it or it speaks to us. I love the Money Pit and I thank all those who worked so hard to create that movie and to entertain us.
