The Money Pit | Home Crap Home
You meet a nice person. You get married. You start looking for a home. You buy the home, and then you wonder...are you Tom Hanks? Did you just buy a house that will now fall apart? Is this a...money pit? Maybe! But this is The Money Pit!
Our latest episode of Forgotten Cinema is full of laughs as we talk about this 1986 comedy that asks if a couple can survive the trials and tribulations of purchasing a lemon of a house. And while there is some kind of plot happening here, anyone that watches this film comes away with the memories of the house falling apart, the dozens of workers becoming part of the norm, and the ironic joke of how long a project should take. "2 weeks, are we right?"
This film still makes us laugh, but we don't quite understand Anna's insistence on Walter's forgiveness for her perceived infidelity. It's tough to explain. Thankfully, we've got it all on video for you!
