The Money Pit

An updating of MR BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE in which an up-and-coming entertainment lawyer takes the big step with his girlfriend and purchases a fixer-upper for a 'steal.' As it turns out, the steal is really a rip-off and everything that can go wrong, does. Some think this is one of Tom Hanks' finest comic performances. He demonstrates his knack for physical comedy when he, for example, tries to climb a flight of stairs that literally crumbles beneath his feet. Anyone who has ever had a big dream and had to fight for it will appreciate the way this film is structured and the pay-off in the end.
