    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.
  • June 8, 2008
    Memorably hilarious, with ace work by the two leads.

    Neither a particularly memorable romantic comedy. The story is weak and over exaggerated. Perhaps the only thing that makes this movie worthwhile is Tom Hanks, who manages to give a decent performance. It is not horrible, but it fails to be anything but average.

    Tom Hanks laughing because he's losing his mind makes me laugh out loud.
  • November 13, 2009
    Come on! Sequencial falls accompanied with orchestrated ensembles. How is this not in everybodies favorites? Hanks is a must see. Trust me, several of his situational expressions are priceless.
