The Money Pit
Directed by Richard Benjamin
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.

60 of 161 · most liked first"officials keep insisting that they’re just a 'couple days' away from a deal with Iran. It’s almost..like the..Tom Hanks film,"The Money Pit,” where..contractors keep [saying] repairs will just take another 'two weeks'" Falsely promising to do something in two weeks. Why does that sound so familiar
neutral · AI labelView post →Without saying The Money Pit, fav Tom Hanks Film?
neutral · AI labelView post →i think i'm finally going to watch The Burbs, a movie i had always assumed i'd already seen (i was thinking of The Money Pit)
neutral · AI labelView post →BTW, I think Long should have had a much bigger movie career than she did. She's great in The Money Pit, Outrageous Fortune, Troop Beverly Hills, and the Brady Bunch films. It just didn't quite happen. And there are some stinkers in there, too, like, say, Frozen Assets.
neutral · AI labelView post →Currently watching: The Money Pit Seriously, one of the funniest movies ever. Ever. Hats off to David Giler and Richard Benjamin Not gonna lie... when I was searching for a contractor for a big renovation, this movie never left my mind
positive · AI labelView post →Just look how relaxing my balcony is 😱 I’m pretty well living the film The Money Pit
neutral · AI labelView post →For some reason the other movie I rented over and over was THE MONEY PIT. Why? I think I just found it hilarious that Tom Hanks fell through a big hole.
positive · AI labelView post →This is the exact same thing I think of with the Trump administration. They are just the foreman from the movie “The Money Pit”
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m now going to watch the movie The Money Pit The entire movie used the catch phrase, “two weeks”
neutral · AI labelView post →In 2004, my then husband and I bought a 5500 sq ft 120 year old Victorian with a mansard roof in Maine. We were city people with grand dreams. Have you ever seen that movie The Money Pit? That became our lives. Turned out we weren't handy. We divorced, and he still lives in The Money Pit.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Money Pit the physical comedy in that movie is incredible
positive · AI labelView post →Even Tom Hanks didn't believe it in The Money Pit, a favorite movie of ours btw.

neutral · AI labelView post →Honestly, The Money Pit is a perfect movie. I won’t be taking any questions at this time.
positive · AI labelView post →#Svengoolie #Amityville3D When did this movie turn into "The Money Pit"?
neutral · AI labelView post →Anyone who has seen the movie 'The Money Pit' with Tom Hanks knows that every builder says 'Two weeks'.....and it's bullshit!
neutral · AI labelView post →Horror stories about house restorations are a little subgenre all their own. Orson Scott Card did one (Homebody, novel). Tom Hanks did one (The Money Pit, movie). Melanie Griffith did one (Pacific Heights, movie). Many more. Honorable mention: Anthony Trollope novel, The Way We Live Now.

neutral · AI labelView post →'White House officials keep insisting that they’re just a “couple days” away from a deal with Iran. It’s almost become like the running joke in the 1986 Tom Hanks film, “The Money Pit,” where corrupt contractors keep telling Hanks’ character that repairs will just take another “two weeks.”'
neutral · AI labelView post →The Money Pit is a perfect movie.
positive · AI labelView post →I remember why I liked the Money Pit as a movie when I was younger and didn’t like it so much after buying a house.

positive · AI labelView post →I couldn’t find a gif w the contractor in The Money Pit saying “two weeks.” This scene was so funny tho that it is a qualified replacement gif.

positive · AI labelView post →Add “between my legs” to a movie title The Money Pit Between My Legs
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm convinced that Trump's use of 'two weeks' comes from the movie The Money Pit with Tom Hanks and Shelley Long. The builder continually tells them that their renovation will be done in 'two weeks'. It's a common inside joke with contractors. and builders. - of a certain age, lol.

neutral · AI labelView post →Two weeks. See movie “The Money Pit.”
neutral · AI labelView post →If you’ve ever seen the movie The Money Pit Tom Hanks, Shelley Long “Two weeks Fielding, two weeks” We are living in Swiss cheese with the door
neutral · AI labelView post →During the end credits, we see some ‘outtakes’ featuring the main characters. Woody gets stuck in a roll of sticky tape, which is a nod to the Hanks film The Money Pit. In that film, Hanks’ character, Walter, gets stuck in the floor of his new house. 48/51

neutral · AI labelView post →"Apollo 13" is just a solid, well-made film. He's great in "Catch Me If You Can." I have no idea if "The Money Pit" holds up, but I have memories of it being a good Lazy Sunday afternoon type of movie.

positive · AI labelView post →In the film “The Money Pit”, which starred Shelly Long and Tom Hanks, the ongoing gag of the film was the building contractors reassuring the Long and Hanks characters that all the construction would be done in “two weeks”
