Amazon.com video review:
Steven Spielberg produced this underwhelming 1986 effort at a
slapstick spin on Mr. Blandings Builds His
Dream House. The pre-Oscar Tom Hanks stars with Shelley Long
as a married couple whose efforts to finish construction on their home
are sabotaged by costly and sporadically funny accidents. The
unfinished domicile becomes a metaphor for their troubled
relationship, as evidenced by Long's character's attraction to a
madman violinist (Alexander Godunov). Hanks is the only reason at this
point to check this film out. Richard Benjamin (My Favorite Year)
directs but with no flair or distinction. --Tom Keogh.
