Review: Not as funny as "The Money Pit", but it has the same concept of a couple moving into a dream home that ends up wrecking havoc on their relationship. Chevy Chase plays a sports columnist who moves out to the country to write his novel, but struggles with never-ending problems with the rural environment and the success of his wife's new found writing skills.
Quotes:
"You slept on the floor huh? We slept outside with the bugs and the wild animals. A bridge nearly killed us. Nobody knows where the hell Redbud is. And we haven't eaten since yesterday morning. So stay the hell out of our way and keep your mouth SHUT!"
"Remember, Mrs. Farmer. Whenever you buy a house, whatever's in the ground belongs to you - whether it's gold or oil... or Claude Musselman."
"Call me Mr. Lamb Fries!"
"I'm convinced that our marriage has been one of mutual betrayals. I know it! YOU know it! Even Yellow Dog knows it!"
"I know it and you know it. Yellow Dog doesn't even know what town he's in."
"We came to Redbud filled with hopes and dreams of a better life. And basically, we've seen those hopes and dreams crushed and battered before our very eyes."
