The money pit plus#
With nearly $6 million spent on renovations, plus the home’s $2.1 million price tag, these sellers have sustained a Hollywood-worthy loss. At long last, it recently sold for $3.5 million. Yet there it sat with no buyers, despite numerous price cuts, for five years. So when the Makowskys decided to list the house in 2014, they felt justified in asking for the purchase price of $12.5 million. Undeterred, the Makowskys hired a construction crew of 30 to renovate the house for over a year and a half, spending a total of $5.9 million to add en suite bedrooms, an elegant pool (complete with a pool house), stunning fireplaces, and a modern, open kitchen, all on 5.5 acres of land. We definitely could have done the sequel.” What happened to ‘The Money Pit’ house “The house was falling apart when you went from room to room. It's always funny.“We didn’t realize how bad it was,” Rich told the New York Times. This film, a remake of a Forties comedy, is a guarantee of laughter, no matter we're watching for the first time or the hundredth in our lives. But is exactly by that, partially, why "Money Pit" deserves to be noteworthy: because it's good and works so well. It's just a comedy from the Eighties, a decade when this genre was very exploited and, to be honest, battered by several absolutely disastrous films. In the beginning, this comedy doesn't seem to have anything new or special. In the midst of so many good points, just one less good note: I believe the script superficially explores the comic opportunities brought about by love triangle Walter-Anna-Max, introducing conflict elements very late and giving them light solutions. Context and situational jokes prevails, as well as the hilarious grimacing of the two main actors and a fabulous (and famous) Hanks laugh, well-remembered by those who like this film. The film was directed by David Giler and Steven Spielberg, and is the beginning of a good partnership between Spielberg and Hanks who will result in successes like "Saving Private Ryan". Joe Mantegna also has a role as Art Shirk, a quite wealthy plumber. Anna is embodied by Shelley Long, a actress very skilled in comedies. Despite the youth, we can recognize many characteristics that he will develop in latter films.
Walter is played by a young Tom Hanks, in a time where he made several comedies. but these dream will crumbling slowly, as the old house weaknesses are becoming evident, for madness of the two lovebirds and delight of the audience. Forced to move from their apartment, they faced the real estate jungle of Manhattan, ending up buying a big suburban house, in a deal that seems like a dream come true. Anna is violinist in an orchestra directed by her ex- husband, Max, a conductor with a blonde hair only smaller than his ego. Walter is a failed showbiz agent who works for pay a lot of debts left by his father, who fled with the money of the artists.
