For Richer or Poorer

Buy This Item For Richer or Poorer by Universal Studios  Available from Amazon  $7.99  on 8-30-2008     Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley are New York scammers on the lam from the IRS--they got framed by their slimy accountant, Wayne Knight of <I>Seinfeld</I>--so they hide out as fake Amish farmers in Intercourse, Pennsylvania. As parodies of <I>Witness</I> go, <I>For Richer or Poorer</I> can't compete with the Woody Harrelson-Bill Murray flick <I>Kingpin</I>, by the creators of <I>Dumb & Dumber</I>. Allen and Alley are directed by the creator of <I>McHale's Navy</I>. 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!" <I>--Tim Appelo</I> Reader Reviews This film is a hoot. Of course it's not realistic but it is very funny. I really loved the guy who shouted "MORNING!"
