This Tom Hanks movie is very unforgettable and perhaps one of the funniest he's been in. Way back before he did Forrest Gump and others, he starred in this one, where he and his wife have to get in this big house that is rundown! And they have to get it repaired, everything in it has fallen apart. They have to get the stairs and the water and the electricity back, and they hire some weird builders. There are many funny scenes in this one, I like especially the part with the bathtub, since there is no water yet in the house, they have to go all the way to the well just to bring water into the tub, and that's not the only problem they don't have any stairs yet. And they were finally able to fill it with water, and they are ready to bathe in it, only that the floor has cracked and the tub falls all the way down! That scene was the funniest I can remember. And the way Tom laughs at that part was unforgettable, I mean they went to all that trouble just to fill the tub with water and goes down the drain, I mean down the first floor. Recommended to all who love Tom Hanks, and his movies.
