Munich area Tom Hants do shot Ltd Long to a in the Money pit formula helps the audience dig the Money pit by Christopher Wienandt staff writer it s a Hole deeper than a North sea Oil Well. More cavernous Ihnn or Libed. More dangerous than the harrods Sale. And in looks us like an Ordinary House. This danger zone where sl3irc.net collapse doors fall rial and Waler Hows like mud ii inhabited by Tom Hanks and Shrlley Long ,1 Yuppie Touple yearning for a Home. Not Hal they really wanted to move inn in. Hanks a new Turk lawyer whose clients ii Rock bands ind Long a concert violinist were perfectly comfortable in the apartment of her sex husband symphony conductor Alexander Godunov until he came Home from Europe. Now they be hurriedly bought a Beautiful million Dollar Home in the country for Only i20o,. What s the Calchi they soon find out. The Only thing about the House thai works is the driveway. As soon As Hanks and Long move in the House begins to crumble. Stairs doors plumbing Are just the beginning. This Hou could l be in worse shape if ii were the target on a bomb Range. In Short this House k the pits. So it s into the Check Book and out with the Money. There Are contractors to hire building inspectors to bribe. This is after All an imperfect world. And no one in ii is Mare imperfect than the renovators who destroy the House to save in. Predictably As the House deteriorates so does the Loving couple s perfect relationship. Little disappointments in the House Lead to Little lifts Little Liff Lead to bigger ones until finally. The Money pit owes a lot to the silent comedies of Early Hollywood. At limes it seems As if the dialogue is almost incidental what belter Opportunity for sight than a slapstick about a House falling Down around its occupants and the film makers have Nul passed up a Chance logo far a laugh. Many of the gags work few Don t. But we tend to forget the ones that Flop because there Are enough Good jokes in the film to keep the laughter flowing. Even when we know what s coming it s hard to resist the temptation to laugh sometimes we even laugh because we know whal s coming. The Money pit makes the most of that All Loo human reaction. When the bathroom floor collapses under the weight of a filled tub. The camera watches in slow motion As the Lub plunges through the ceiling of the drawing room below and smashes to Smithereens on the Marble floor. Is this funny maybe yes maybe no but we laugh ourselves silly watching in. The film s finest moment i another such debacle the Rube Goldberg collapse of the scaffolding around the front of the House piece by piece Wilh Hanks As the human Ball that bounces from Point a to Point a releasing lever a Etc. The film takes the Chance of showing us not Only what just happened but what s about to happen. The anticipation is part of the joke. And it works. We almost expect to hear the woman on the / love Lucy laugh track who used to gasp us of whenever Lucy was about to net Inlo trouble the Money pit is showing in cafes Heaters.
