Product Description
When Andy and Elizabeth buy a farm in Vermont, they can't imagine the trouble that awaits them.
Amazon.com
George Roy Hill (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) directed this 1988 comedy that gives star Chevy Chase one of his better-quality vehicles. Chase plays a New York sportswriter who turns to the country for a simpler, happier way of living. He discovers, of course, that things don't work out that way. Hill's usual touch with comic timing, tone, and dialogue give Chase a rare career opportunity to be part of something a little classier than most of his other movies; but Funny Farm nevertheless has its share of so-what gags. Still, the film's overall tone is winning and laid-back, and it makes for nice escapist fare. --Tom Keogh

 Fun Movie June 7, 2009
C. Parcel (St Jo MO)
City folk move to country. Finally writing that novel. Becoming homeowners. Lots of cliche ideas, a few grains of substance buried in fluff BUT it works. The really good writing and fresh ideas in a great setting with spot on acting makes this a classic good romp of a fun movie.

Cue the deer... April 25, 2009
Jeffrey S. Campbell (Bethlehem, PA)
Funny Farm is sweet and funny, perhaps the best movie ever for Chevy Chase. Yes, the main character is not too far from the Clark W. Griswold of the Vacation movies, but more restrained and believable. Co-star Madolyn Smith is fresh and charming as his wife.
The basic "fish out of water" story is handled with intelligence and wit by director George Roy Hill and the talented cast.
Terribly underated, hilarious and to 'die for' Vermont scenery! March 7, 2009
Chris H. (,OH,U.S.A.)
This is one of my favorite comedies. Everyone I show it to laughs hard throughout it,and I still do,as well.
Andy quits his job as a sports writer and plans on the peace and quiet of Vermont country life to be an aid to writing the novel he has always wanted to write.
The story is about the misadventures that he and his wife Elizabeth experience,and there are so many with wacky town residents,a maniacal mailman,worthless dogs,and other critter adventures,and through it all scenery that is absolute 'eye-candy'.
I highly recommend this one for lots of laughs.
