The money pit.

[Svengoolie 3]

You know this is likely Stevie's most underrated and overlooked film but honestly I don't think it was too bad. 

For one thing it managed not to have a helpless bound woman facing a fiery death.  One of Stevie's more tiresome memes.

The remark that the house was being sold at a suspiciously low cost because the owner needed money for legal fees since he was on trial for wasr crimes.  He was hitler's pool man.

A lot of people have been screwed on house deals and as such can understand the plight of Tom Hanks' character.

Anyone else think 'the money pit' didn't reek?

I enjoyed it as a light comedy. I remember a few others from that time that I liked (Ruthless People was another) .Not seen it since I first watched it back then but it is one I would not mind seeing again.

I don't think it was a terrible movie. But I always compare it to MR. BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE, which is much funnier and far superior.

I thought it was a remake of Mr. Blandings.

I enjoyed it.

I thought it was a remake of Mr. Blandings.

It is, but I'm not sure the producers gave it much credit for being a remake. THE MONEY PIT is a wackier, slapstick version. BLANDINGS relies a lot more on funny dialogue and characters.
