A loving New York couple is suddenly forced to move out of their place and find a new home. Knowing that it's almost impossible to find any means of housing in the city, they decide to buy a mantion outside the town. But what seems like an occasion of a life time, with time proves that it's definitely worth the little amount of money they've paid for it... or that it's worth even less.

And so... will the house still stand after that? ;) WORTH WATCHING? Yes and No, depending on what kind of mood do You seek to get by watching the comedy. It's pretty much sweet actually, with it's beninning, and the ending... but I do believe that the comedy's main purpose IS t...

Starring: Ted Danson,  Howie Mandel Directed by: Blake Edwards ( badly underpayed, forced to direct it or impersonated by someone ) Script by: a total weirdo WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT? I don't know. I don't care. I didn't get the story during the first 20 minutes or more, and then decided to turn if off. WORTH WATCHING? NO. If You're a die hard Ted Danson fan or Howie Mandel fan You can try. But seriously, it's madness, it's totally out of any sense. With acting, with story, with dialogue, with pacing and so on. I'm very much into the 80s, fashion, cars, hair styles and so on, so I tend to get trough a lot of bad movies... but... I didn't try to get trough this one. What I did like were the ladies.

Ok. So the way I've described above sounds probably even better than the movie actually looks. But... You have to believe ( if You still haven't watched it yet ) that it's really hard to tell what the whole thing is about. But... incase You'd like to resign from watching yet already do not be afraid.  IT'S WORTH IT. It has a lot of good stuff in it. And it has Kurt Russel and beautifull Kim Cattrall as well. And there are martial arts. And some gunfights as well. And a bit of comedy. And a bit o kitsch. Lots and lots of kitsch to be honest by this is a good kind of kitsch, the one You enjoy. Using ot...
