Just the right amount of ridiculous to be funny and not stupid. Hanks is really finding his feet here (or not, those stairs!) as a comedic actor which he'd perfect in the coming years. Perhaps the most satisfying aspect of his performance is the physical humour.

Never delivers on its promising beginning. Shelly Long and Tom Hanks alone were not enough to keep things interesting. It would have helped to have a 3rd person at the house to mix things up; maybe the fat friend. Long was kind of a dependent side character to Hanks so she didn't get to do much on her own except to create conflict for him. Fav scene: the sequence of Hanks going through various means of destroying the scaffolding to opera music.

The Money Pit has good intentions, but it's really too paper thin of a plot to rise above its source material. Tom Hanks and Shelley Long throw themselves into their characters and their manic energy keeps a lot of the scenes afloat. There are some funny slapstick moments, but the film feels like a weird melodrama forced into a Three Stooges film and it mostly is too disjointed to work.

Hanks and Long are likable enough, but the whole thing is too directionless, and the laughs are almost non existent. They could have done more with the builders as that was the only part even remotely close to being funny. A comedy about a desperate couple fixing up a seemingly nice house that's actually riddled with problems is a good premise, but outside of the two leads it just wasn't executed very well. Plus it had hardly any 80's charm to fall back on.

This is a relatively entertaining film with an emphasis on physical comedy. There are quite a few chuckles from the remarkable screen presence of Tom Hanks. The scaffolding scene is particularly memorable. Unfortunately my score is dragged way down by the ending, which was a huge disappointment. The writing was so good for the first two thirds of the film, and then it falls off a cliff.

This movie has a flimsy premise that is stretched very thin. The script is weak and very one note. Tom Hanks and Shelley Long have very little chemistry with each other. Overall this comedy is disappointing.

Having bought and renovated a house recently, so much of this was painfully but amusingly recognisable! Quite a silly but enjoyable farce for the most part, but then the 'cheating' sub plot comes out of nowhere and changes the tone of the film completely. That latter section didn't work well for me and had a really rushed/forced arc resolution, but isn't enough to completely ruin the overall comedic value of the movie.

Was there a mass hypnosis in the 80s that made people find Shelley Long hot? It's the only explanation for why a Plain Jane blonde with zero tits and ass is treated as super desirable both here and on Cheers. The comedy is carried by Hanks. That has a severe drawback as you end up liking his lovable loser character far more than you do Long's arrogant cunt (the only character she is capable of). So when she betrays him and they inevitably get back together, it leaves a sour taste in one's mouth.

One of those movies you forget you ever watched 20 minutes after finishing it. It is comparable to a lot of the work Tom Hanks was doing at the time. There's an odd feel to the movie that comes from a mixture of weak writing, weak acting, outlandish happenings, and bad eighties music.
