The Money Pit
Walter Fielding Jr. (Tom Hanks), an entertainment industry lawyer, and Anna Crowley (Shelley Long), a violinist, are forced to move out of the apartment that belongs to Anna's ex-husband, Max Beissart (Alexander Godunov), who has returned from his European tour and is about to take up residence again. Thus Walter and Anna need a home of their own. Through Walter's real estate agent friend, they learn about a beautiful suburban mansion for next-to-nothing and decide to buy it. But there's a catch. The seemingly perfect mansion turns out rotten. When the couple moves into the house, it quickly starts to fall apart. The main staircase collapses, the old water pipes are clogged, the electrical system catches fire, the plaster flakes off, and the chimney falls into the house. From that point on, the fierce battle starts between the hapless home owners and the disaster house.
