Cast: Chevy Chase, Madolyn Smith,
Kevin O'Morrison, Joseph Maher
Directed by George Roy
Hill
A sportswriter and his wife move to the
country (Vermont specifically) so that he can finally write the novel
he's always wanted. Seems like a nice, peaceful setting, right?
Well, after they get there one series of mishaps after another cause
them to slowly go insane...which is fine since almost everyone else
in their community already is.
One of Chevy Chase's better vehicles, and
enjoyable while it's on. Light comedy, nice characters, and funny
situautions keep this film above mundane for the most part. Director
Hill sets up everything perfectly, despite the predictability of the
plot and the limited range of the actors. Pleasant, if unremarkable,
viewing.
