Young lovers Walter (Tom Hanks) and Anna (Shelley Long) are house-sitting the New York City apartment owned by Max (Alexander Godunov), Anna's ex-husband, who suddenly decides to toss them out. Needing a new home, they settle on buying a country estate outside the city, which is available for a suspiciously low price. It soon becomes apparent why, as doors fall off their hinges, staircases come tumbling down and a bathtub falls through the floor. The couple's relationship suffers similarly.

Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times A movie that contains one funny scene and 91 minutes of running time to kill. Rated: 1/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena Not only Tom Hanks and Shelley Long share a fantastic chemistry, the physical humor (full of brilliant set pieces) is first-rate and allows Hanks to show off his impeccable comedy chops. Rated: 4/5 Jan 15, 2021 Full Review Sergio Benítez Espinof Films like these are much more valid than all the comedies by Judd Apatow and Adam Sandler combined. [Full Review in Spanish] May 14, 2020 Full Review William Wolf Gannett News Service The film would have been a lot better had there been a much stronger script that didn't seem to be straining to keep the basic idea alive. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review JoBlo JoBlo's Movie Network Rated: 7/10 Jul 7, 2006 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...enhanced by Hanks' increasingly hysterical and appropriately broad performance. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 25, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews
