  In one of Tom Hanks' earliest comedies he is buying a house together with girl friend Shelley Long just to find out it is decrepit behind the pretty facade. What follows are an hour of "what can go wrong, will go wrong", chain reactions and catastrophes. That is so cheeky in its predictability that you can't help but smile, or even laugh out loud a couple of times. The movie loses some of its anarcho humor in the last part when the loving couple has to fight for their relationship between the ruins. Still, overall a fun film even if clearly dated. There are two or three scenes that are so outrageously funny, you could watch them over and over again.

  THE MONEY PIT is funny...but not enough.

• Martin S

  
  This was fun....made me smile. Looks a lot like the swedish movie "Drömkåken" (the dreamhouse). Tom Hanks and Shelley Long is a great duo

  For everyone who's ever been deeply in Love or deeply in debt. Good movie. The story was quite simple, it was a romantic comedy with more comedy than romance. Tom Hanks did his usual very good portrayal comedy act which carried this film extensively throughout. Nice ending… More
  For everyone who's ever been deeply in Love or deeply in debt. Good movie. The story was quite simple, it was a romantic comedy with more comedy than romance. Tom Hanks did his usual very good portrayal comedy act which carried this film extensively throughout. Nice ending which was typical but still very good. Walter Fielding and Anna Crowley have to start looking for a new house- but there's not much they can afford! This soon changes when they meet a lonely old con artist who sells them a beautiful mansion at a ridiculously low price. Only there's a catch. The second they move into the house it falls apart, starting with the stairway collapsing to the bathtub falling through the floor to eventually the chimney falling into the house! Finally, they have to renovate the house before the frame collapses but the renovations also prove to be a disaster.

  Another good film, that could be much better.

• Cassie H

  
  Great movie, another great performance by Tom Hanks!!! Just a hilarious & adorable movie :)

• AJ V

  
  I saw this one a long time ago, but I remember it being very funny. Of course now I've realized that it's exactly the same as Mr. Blanding's Dream House, which is an even better movie, but this one is still good anyway.

  An early Tom Hanks comic disaster romp that feels less funny today than it did then.

• Wahida K

  
  I like the great old classic Tom Hanks Movies

• Conner R

  
  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.

  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!

• Candy R

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

• Roy G

  
  Memorably hilarious, with ace work by the two leads.

• Curtis L

  
  Har har har.

• jay n

  
  okay, but mr. blandings is far superior.

• Universal D

  
  the screwball comedy gets an update, why not...

• Dean !

  
  A pretty good Tom Hanks comedy helped by the chemistry between him and Shelley Long. Building their dream house together is costing an arm and a leg!

• xGary X

  
  Boring half-hearted slapstick attempt to remake Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House without any of the wit. And Hanks is no Cary Grant.

• Stuart B

  
  Ahhh the good old times when Tom Hanks was funny

• Michael G

  
  Funny as hell. I wish Tom Hanks would do another movie like this.
