I don't know why, but The Money Pit always seemed to be on TV when I was a kid. And I always seemed to see the same parts over and over again. And I laughed every time. Watching this movie all the way through as an adult is still an enjoyable experience, but I will admit that it's basically the same joke repeated over and over again: the house is a lemon, and whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. But Tom Hanks and Shelley Long make a good comedic duo, and their reactions to the chaos is what makes this movie work. It's not a comedy I'll seek out, but it's a fun watch on a lazy Saturday afternoon.
