This movie is silly as hell, but if you watch it just for laughs it's very good. There are some nice cameo appearances, especially Dana Carvey and Randy Quaid, that make this worth checking out. Don't expect any kind of blockbuster, cause it's not. But for a good laugh be sure and check it.

You'll use the quote "we're taking it with us" forever!
You can't beat the comedy in this movie. It's all so funny, you'll be in stitches. From the Schizophrenic SAAB driver, to the scary next door neighbour you can't get away from fast enough, to the dog who you have to put a mirror under it's nose to see if he's still breathing! And when the previous owners joke "we're taking it with us!", you have ask, "are they really just joking"... Richard Pryor, who has now left us, should be so proud of this movie, his comedy is rare and so well timed. Dana Carvey also shines, as the clean cut SAAB driver with multiple personalities. And who can forget Randy Quaid playing both parts of the neighbour from hell, both in New Jersey, and in Boise, Idaho. You'll never want to move again, but you'll die laughing at the Pear's attempt to move!
PLEASE PLEASE get this movie brought to DVD!

Harmless Richard Pryor Comedy
In this silly, but fun comedy from director Alan Metter(Back To School), Richard Pryor plays an engineer finds what seems to be the perfect job. The only problem is that the job is in Idaho, which means that his family would have to sell their home in Chicago and move out to Idaho. Several disasters occur as Pryor attempts to pack up and move across country, everything that could possibly go wrong does. The film is not exactly a laugh fest, but Pryor keeps the film entertaining with his great comic energy. Dave Thomas and Dana Carvey are fun in supporting roles, as well as Rodney Dangerfield as a gambling loan officer. Overall, a harmless film that benefits greatly from the presence of Pryor. 5.8/10.
