Movie Reviews of For Richer or Poorer
Movie Review: An excellent comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of these rare classic comedies you don't want to miss. You'll laugh your heart out. Through some odd circumstances a wealthy NYC developer (Tim Allen) gets in trouble with the IRS. Suddenly, he and his wife (Kirstie Alley) must flee from the authorities and they must leave their wealth behind. The couple ends up in Amish country and there they fake to be Amish cousins of a certain Amish family so that they can remain in hiding until their legal mess is cleared up. Everything's going crazy as the worldly couple tries to fit into this religious community. It's a fun movie and a laughfest so very rare these days. There's plenty of suspense as the IRS is closing in on their hide out, and we think "For Richer or Poorer" is one of the best comedies in years.
Summary of For Richer or Poorer
DVDTim Allen and Kirstie Alley are New York scammers on the lam from the IRS--they got framed by their slimy accountant, Wayne Knight of Seinfeld--so they hide out as fake Amish farmers in Intercourse, Pennsylvania. As parodies of Witness go, For Richer or Poorer can't compete with the Woody Harrelson-Bill Murray flick Kingpin, by the creators of Dumb & Dumber. Allen and Alley are directed by the creator of McHale's Navy. But wait, come back! The true test of talent is a capacity to romp right through weak material, and while this story is hopelessly lame and formulaic, Allen and Alley are credible candidates for the clown prince and princess of broad TV comedy. When somebody wonders how come alleged Amish guy Tim Allen has no beard, Kirstie says, "Lice." Of course, his face has no lice on it either, so Kirstie adds, "Minute lice!" --Tim Appelo
