Married couple Tom Hanks and Shelley Long have been staying at her ex's apartment but now they have to get out as famous symphony conductor Alex
Gudenov has returned.
So after a lot of hunting they come across Maureen Stapleton's grand mansion in the burbs that she is unloading for a ridiculously low price. Stapleton is as grand as her house. But when she unloads she takes the money and runs.
She'd have made a great used car salesperson. Like a lemon car everything goes wrong and pretty much all at once. Hanks and Long encountering these problems is hysterical. Pretty soon they've sunk all their dough in the place and no end in sight except for their marriage.
The Money Pit is a very funny film that has a nice slapstick quality to it. Liked the leads, but liked Stapleton more. She really chews the scenery in her role, all ten minutes or so.
Anyone who ever dealt with home repair will love this film.
