The Money Pit | comment |
A 1986 film comedy directed by Richard Benjamin, co-executive produced by (and presented by) Steven Spielberg, and starring Tom Hanks and Shelley Long.Entertainment lawyer Walter Fielding (Hanks) and his violinist girlfriend Anna (Long) are swindled into buying an old house that's falling apart at the seams. As they keep getting further in debt in their efforts to restore the house, the pressure starts taking a toll on the couple.Basically an '80s answer to Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, this film is part of Tom Hanks's early run of comedies made prior to Philadelphia. It was also one of the reasons Shelley Long quit the cast of Cheers, as she hoped to make a transition to movie stardom. | |

What Did I Do Last Night? | |
The Money Pit / int_27ba9b64 | comment |
What Did I Do Last Night?: Anna wakes up in Max's bed in the third act after a bender and Max tells her that they had sex. In reality he slept in the couch and let her have the bed, and he lied because he's still a bit of a Crazy Jealous Guy at the moment (he confesses once he sees that this has almost demolished Anna's and Walter's relationship shortly after). | |

Analogy Backfire: Walter defends buying the dubiously low-priced mansion by calling it an overlooked bargain and likening it to that short line at the DMV that hardly anyone gets into. Anna notes that she actually did get into that line once, and discovered it was for farm vehicles only. | |

The Money Pit / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Max convinces Walter to make up with Anna by reminding him that, being a more decent man than he, losing her would affect Walter far more than it would a guy like Max. Of course, this only comes after Max sharply Kicked The Dog by tricking Anna into thinking she'd cheated on Walter, in hopes of splitting them up. Max also graciously conducts his orchestra at Walter and Anna's wedding. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Max is an arrogant and smug prick most of the time, but he does have some redeeming traits - he does genuinely care for Anna and wants her to be happy, and he doesn't seem to have any real ill will towards Walter either. In the final scene, he even conducts a symphony orchestra in honor of their wedding. | |

Karma Houdini Warranty: As the movie begins, Walter’s father is living the high life in Rio de Janeiro, marrying a beautiful woman young enough to be his daughter, after stealing millions of dollars from his clients and leaving his son holding the bag for everything. Come the last scene in the film he and his new wife are buying a gorgeous mansion in South America — from the same two con artists who sold Walter and Anna their lemon. | |

The Unfair Sex | |
The Money Pit / int_6ae4dedd | comment |
The Unfair Sex: Played with. While it is revealed Anna didn't actually cheat with Walter, she is unaware at first and convinced out of principle that Walter should forgive her. As she puts herself "He can't forgive me, so I can't forgive him." In the end Walter is convinced to make up with her and a happy ending ensues. The only reason Anna believes Walter should forgive her for sleeping with Max is because Walter spent an entire evening, from sitting down to dinner 'til after going to bed, nagging her over whether anything happened between her and Max, constantly promising that if anything did happen he would be perfectly okay with it, and not blame her or hold her responsible. Anna actually believes him, which is why she expects him to forgive her and sees his subsequent reaction and behavior as him being a hypocrite, which is why she can't forgive him. Still, it's hard to believe Walter would be owed forgiveness on this somewhat spurious liability if the roles were reversed. | |

Bait-and-Switch: The letter from Walter's dad at the beginning of the movie has him ask Walter to "say hi to the Cheap Girls for him", which considering that he went to Brazil to dodge a major scam charge implies that he's mocking his victims... only to turn out that one of Walter's clients is a rock group called "the Cheap Girls". | |

My God, What Have I Done?: Immediately following their vicious, end-of-the-relationship fight over her cheating with Max (that she's unknowingly innocent of), Anna slams the door, then drops her belligerent facade and bursts into horrified Tears of Remorse. Max says this line almost word-for-word when his "affair" with Anna also causes her to quit the orchestra, realizing what he thought was a gambit to win her back has instead driven her away from both Walter and himself. | |

Her husband Carlos doesn't show up when she's conning Walter but his appearance at the end shows that he's definitely German (or can pass for one convincingly enough for the "in trouble with Israeli Intelligence" part of the earlier swindle). | |

Running Gag: "They testing missiles here, or what?" Said by almost everybody who sees the gigantic crater the repairs did, even pizza deliverymen and Vietnamese chaffeurs. The Shirks and their work crew keep telling anybody who asks how long the repairs are gonna take that it's going to be finished in two weeks, even after they have been at it for months and it just doesn't look like they will ever end it. | |

Pet the Dog: Max convinces Walter to make up with Anna by reminding him that, being a more decent man than he, losing her would affect Walter far more than it would a guy like Max. Of course, this only comes after Max sharply Kicked The Dog by tricking Anna into thinking she'd cheated on Walter, in hopes of splitting them up. Max also graciously conducts his orchestra at Walter and Anna's wedding. When the job is finally done, project foreman Curly also leaves Walter and Anna with a bit of parting advice about how despite everything that had gone wrong with it, the house proved to be fixable because it had a good, strong foundation. Both understood exactly what he was getting at, and they decide to patch up their relationship on the spot. | |
