Love this movie!!, 2008-09-01
First of all, what a great comedy!! How many people get sucked into buying a home (thinking it's such a great deal) only to find out it will cost them more than buying an expensive home to begin with. I love Tom Hanks and his performance in this film was great once again. br / br /If you're looking for a good laugh and have had some fixer upper woes this is definately the movie for you!

Highly underrated, 2008-06-03
This is one of my favorite movies and I cannot understand why it was dissed by critics. A lot of the comedy is slapstick, with collapsing stairs, flying Perdue chickens and "weak" trees. But in the context of rehabilitating the house, they can get away with it. This is a truly funny movie with none of the grossness that usually passes for comedy in Hollywood. And it is a must see for anybody who has ever rennovated a house. We are currently remodeling our home and use terms from the movie all the time from the "Shirk Brothers" to "anybody call a plumber?"

Carefree '80s comedy., 2008-05-12
The Money Pit starring Tom Hanks and Shelley Long was a childhood favorite of mine, I used to watch this film all the time but watching it now, it is dated and not that funny. Tom Hanks can make any horrible film moderately good, his comic timing is impeccable, he is a genius. There are some funny moments but mostly this box office bomb is pretty lame now, just watch it if you are a die-hard Hanks fan.

The Money Pit with Tom Hanks, 2008-04-16
Watching this dvd was like deja vu for me. Some of the houses I've lived in had some of these problems and we discovered them in much the same way the main characters do. I think Tom Hanks and Shelley Long were very believable. This dvd is very entertaining and "scary".
