After being evicted from their Manhattan apartment, a couple buy what looks like the home of their dreams—only to find themselves saddled with a bank-account-draining nightmare. Struggling to keep their relationship together as their rambling mansion falls to pieces around them, the two watch in hilarious horror as everything—including the kitchen sink—disappears into the Money Pit.

There is not a single doubt in my mind of the amount of strength and patience I have to endure this kind of situation—that is to say I have none and would’ve burned the place down the second that tub fell through the ceiling.

Some fun early on, but I got tired of it towards the end. Especially with the big final “conflict” that just didn’t do it for me.
