Neil G A fantastic family movie that will appeal to everyone who secretly wants to escape the modern world and fend for themselves. I watched this as a kid and am still enjoying it every Christmas into my 50's. Sadly I have never escaped the modern world... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Mediocre comedy about a LA family who has had enough of the big city and decides to pick up stakes and move to a remote area in Oregon only to have a flood wash their new life away. When back in the city, the radio broadcast gives a grim picture of urban life in its news headlines. 30 years later, we now know that acid rain is no longer a problem. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Suburban family departs the urban blight and heads to the wilderness of Oregon to start a new life. Scattershot family comedy effort manages a few laughs and zany characters but not much more with children who add little but complaining to the proceedings. Starring husband/wife team of Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss, who also gave us the comparably weak SATURDAY THE 14TH. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member older movie, but very funny Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
