Review of The Money Pit

The Money Pit (1986)
7/10
Not perfect, but hysterical
5 January 2002
The Money Pit may not deserve to be on top of everybody's list, but sure as hell it's one of the most hilarious films I've ever seen. For all of you who claim it's flawed, I get it, but please forget about that and enjoy the string of accidents that happen in that house. Do not tell me they're not funny.

I like both Tom Hanks and Shelley Long's performances, although his is funnier, as the hapless guy who can't find reliable workers for his new-bought house. Anyway, I have always liked Shelley Long since I first saw her in Cheers. She's always been very cute.

Perhaps The Money Pit is not a must have, but certainly a MUST SEE.

7/10.
