    Good fun 80's comedy. Shelley Long left Cheers to make it big in the movies but this is really as far as she got to a success. It?s a shame really because I liked her! 1980?s Tom Hanks is, as always, rather annoying!

    Hilarious comedy about a couple who buy a house that keeps falling apart. Great cast.

    Memorably hilarious, with ace work by the two leads.

    If i had watched this as a kid i probably would have fond memories, but i watched it as a teenager and thought it sucked.

    More fun from the 80's, and a lesson to be learned about biting off more than you can chew (a.k.a. how not to get totally swindled and almost lose your marriage b/c of it!). Shelley and Tom are great together. Fun!
