Why watch this? Just
when I though Chevy's film popularity had run his course, this little nugget
dropped - what a pleasant surprise.
Plot Summary:
A city couple, Andy and Elizabeth Farmer, decide to
escape the hustle and bustle of city life for the
seemingly idyllic tranquility of a Vermont farmhouse.
Their dreams of a peaceful rural existence quickly
devolve into a series of comedic misfortunes and
escalating encounters with the eccentric locals of their
new small town of Redbud.

Dad's Preview: Chevy Chase
and Madolyn Osborne are a married couple who
decide to leave city life and move to an idyllic
country hamlet. Of course, it's a nightmare -
thanks to a plethora of wacky neighbors who are
dead-set against the couple enjoying their new
home. There's the hard-drinking hillbilly mail
carrier, the pesky road-sign-altering teenagers,
and overly nosey townsfolk. It's fun to see how
the crafty couple uses a little reverse
psychology to win over the town's finicky
inhabitants. |
