A husband and wife, after making a deal with an unruly salesman, get stuck in a magical world of TV as they go through different channels, fighting for their lives while rediscovering themselves and the reason they fell in love with each other in the first place.
This film is an absolute delight, with wonderful comedic sequences and performances, specifically by the man, the myth, the legend himself, John Ritter. He is an unwitting dimwit at the start of the film, but as it goes on, he becomes the man his wife initially married—a hero and a loving husband.
The villain in this film is absolutely delightful—cartoonish, yes, but delightful in all the right ways. His refusal to play by the rules, even in his own game, is delightfully comical. Not everything is perfect with this film. The voiceover is a little cringeworthy, and I don’t know if it’s necessary, but it’s there—I could take it or leave it.
Happy to say that this movie is as lively as I remember it being from my childhood.
