Amazon.co.uk Review

Steven Spielberg produced this underwhelming 1986 effort at a slapstick spin on Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. The pre-Oscar Tom Hanks stars with Shelley Long as a married couple whose efforts to finish construction on their home are sabotaged by costly and sporadically funny accidents. The unfinished domicile becomes a metaphor for their troubled relationship, as evidenced by the attraction of Long's character to a madman violinist (Alexander Godunov). Hanks is the only reason at this point to check this film out. Richard Benjamin (My Favorite Year) directs but with no flair or distinction. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Tom Hanks at his BEST, 5 Nov 2003
By Ms. S. D. Bonner "Formula 1 Girl" (Eastleigh, Hampshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one of those films that you've heard of but never got round to watching. Well, that was me until I watched it one day as there was "nothing else on". What did I discover? One of the funniest films I've EVER seen. Story: Toms Hanks & wife buy lovely too-good-to-be-true mansion for pennies. They move in, it falls apart. As does their marriage. Watch out for the flying turkey and the BEST domino effect scene you'll ever see.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE MONEY PIT, 10 Oct 2003
By A Customer
The Money Pit is simply hillarious from start to finish.

It is based on the experiences of a young couples first house purchase, and the dreadful setbacks they encounter in pursuit of their dream home.

The builders are hell, the cost astrinomical and the couple in danger of divorce. Yet all the way throough youll'e be crying with laughter. The best comedy money can buy and definately one to watch if you think YOU are having a hard time!!
