The Money Pit (1986)

★★★★☆

Walter and Anna Fielding just bought a new home worth millions… the only problem is that everything inside and outside is falling apart or blowing up. Now they must invest millions just to keep the house from falling to it’s foundation, however, with their relationship at wits end Walter and Anna begin to second-guess their plan of having a nice family. I found this movie to be a great simple story that turns out to be an homage to the screwball comedies of the 40s and 50s. It has a great cast, great gags and some over the top performances by Hanks and Long. All this equals a great 80s comedy that’s hard to come by.
