Storyline

After being evicted from their Manhattan apartment, a couple buy what looks like the home of their dreams—only to find themselves saddled with a bank-account-draining nightmare. Struggling to keep their relationship together as their rambling mansion falls to pieces around them, the two watch in hilarious horror as everything—including the kitchen sink—disappears into the Money Pit.

RTChicago Sun-TimesJan 1, 2000

A movie that contains one funny scene and 91 minutes of running time to kill.

It might not be revolutionary cinema, but The Money Pit is stupid fun all these years later. More than anything, it’s a testament to the longevity of Hanks and how far he has come.

Not only Tom Hanks and Shelley Long share a fantastic chemistry, the physical humor (full of brilliant set pieces) is first-rate and allows Hanks to show off his impeccable comedy chops.

Films like these are much more valid than all the comedies by Judd Apatow and Adam Sandler combined. [Full Review in Spanish]
