Review – The Money Pit

If you’re in the process of trying to buy a house, avoid this movie at all costs; it’s a seemingly endless situation comedy recounting just about everything that can go wrong when a young couple buys what they think is the home of their dreams. Tom Hanks and Shelly Long star as our hapless protagonists, trying to hold their relationship together as their country mansion collapses around their ears.
