At the time of this review, there are 5 SwapaDVD members wishing for The 'Burbs widescreen DVD, while 1 copy is available of this widescreen set which also includes The Money Pit--the better movie of the two in my opinion. I own this set and have always felt it is a nice combo. Tom Hanks is a great dramatic actor, but I like his comedies best.

For me, The 'Burbs is somewhat of a guilty pleasure. I don't really think it's that good of a movie, though I can relate to wondering about the neighbors, but I like it anyway. I've watched The Money Pit many, many times beginning in childhood (I have been watching The 'Burbs since childhood also, so I don't favor The Money Pit because of that), and I always enjoy it. It has wonderful lines and physical comedy. The line "Two weeks" is one to which I still refer. Shelley Long's performance only makes the movie better. I hope one of The 'Burbs wishers sees this and takes a chance on The Money Pit as well.

The Burbs - A classic with lots of stars and a plotline that takes you all over the place. Director Joe Dante has a special way to creep you out!

Movie Reviews

Two of Tom Hanks` best comedies
M. Shepherd | 11/11/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"If The Burbs doesn`t become a comedy classic there is no justice in the world.

The best comedy is real life exaggerated. And while this is VERY exaggerated anyone who has ever experienced suburban or small town

living will see just a little of theirselves and their neighbors in this film. From the wild rumors, to the neighbor`s nutty ideas,

to the urban legends, to neighbors spying on each other. It`s all here with comic results.



By the same token, The Money Pit is the nightmare of anyone who has ever undertaken a major home improvement, or hired a contractor

for a major job. While the Money Pit isn`t as good as The Burbs, it is a very funny comedy in its own right and very under rated.



Tom Hanks is an excellent actor. And his performances in both of these films are excellent.
