Review of Funny Farm (1988) by Nicki M — 25 Jul 2015

I never saw this back in the 80's. I have to say, I was shocked to discover this was from 1988, looking at it, I was thinking maybe 82 or 83. It is extremely dated to look at with a dull, flat look to it. None of the colour or flair I would associate with an 80's movie.

Story is okay, about a couple who move to a small town so the guy can write a book. A few small laughs, but it crosses into National Lampoons style humor, which really isn't my thing.

The Christmas scene is very pretty, though. Not a classic for me, though people who grew up with this one may have a different view of it.

Another one with my least favourite cliched "happy ending" scene. So nauseating.
