Money Pit, The

Money Pit, The

1986

An up-and-coming entertainment lawyer (Tom Hanks) and his yuppie girlfriend (Shelley Long) set out to renovate their dream house -- only to be plagued by her ex-husband (Alexander Godunov), an unscrupulous construction firm and the house's crumbling structure. Between collapsing staircases and unscrupulous craftsmen doing more damage than good, the couple are soon up to their ears in trouble (and rubble) in this charming comedy.

For everyone who's ever been deeply in Love or deeply in debt.
