The laugh that Tom Hanks lets out following the bathtub’s falling through the floor and shattering into a million pieces never fails to crack me up no matter how many times I see it.

It is funny, but notice the goof. There's no water in the tub when it hits.

Tom Hanks’ mental collapse laugh when the tub falls through the floor is endlessly hilarious to me. Also shorts over sweatpants was a thing in the 80’s. I don’t know why it just was.

[@thorstrebla980]

Girls wore long underwear under shorts all the time, too.

[@stevethepirate2875]

Because if you go jogging in just sweatpants your genitals jump all over the place. Also, at that time sweat pants were not the all-the-time wear they have become but mostly something you were wearing to make you sweat more. So he's wearing shorts ... with legwarmers.

[@randallgaus502]

One of my greatest childhood memories is of my father watching this movie. My father rarely smiled, let alone laugh. He didn't care for TV or movies, but I remember him laughing so hard at this movie. To this day I still have an original one sheet full size movie poster of this movie on the wall to remind me of that moment.

[@Humstuck]

When you find the funny bone of your stoic relatives or friends, its the best. It deserves to be remembered.

[@nsasupporter7557]

Yeah, for some reason this movie flew under the radar. It wasn’t as famous as other 80s Tom Hanks movies such as “Splash” or “Big.”

You've seen Alexander Godunov (Max) before. He played the long haired Karl in everybody's favorite Christmas movie, "Die Hard." "Money Pit" did not do well because it was panned by most critics. "Steven Spielberg Presents" means he was one of the Producers or Executive Producers but he didn't direct it, just like "Poltergeist" "Gremlins" "Goonies" and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" which all have his name stamped on them. Having never seen this movie before, Tom Hanks's little joke when he first sees the peeing statue is funny when you remember his character's medical condition in "The Green Mile." The contractor, Curly, was played by Philip Bosco. He was never the lead actor in any film, but his most memorable scene and quote is in the incredible movie "Working Girl" costarring Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver, a movie you should put on your radar

[@umainebearman]

Well critics panned it because its kind of a pretty shit movie. It's the same gag over and over.

[@SRG1966]

Green Mile was at least ten years after this movie. This was in 1985.

Alexander Godunov also appeared in Witness (along with Harrison Ford). It's a great movie but mostly forgotten, I think.

"Here lies Walter Fielding. He bought a house, and it killed him." - Tom Hanks One of the best lines with the best delivery in movie history.

[@StCerberusEngel]

Anna: I'm going to help you. Walter: Do you have a gun? XD The dialogue in this movie is so damn good.

[@RetroClassic66]

This was indeed an hilariously fun movie, and there’s a reason for that - it’s a remake of the 1948 comedy hit MR. BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE, starring Cary Grant and Myrna Loy (who had co-starred the previous year with Shirley Temple in another hit comedy, THE BACHELOR AND THE BOBBY-SOXER), and based on the 1946 novel by Eric Hodgins. You should see both of those films as well! You’d like them. I remember seeing this in the theater back in 1986 when it came out. I loved it and laughed my butt off! Thanks for the throwback!

[@ldfahrni]

Came here to recommend Mr Blandings . . . Cary Grant has serious comedic chops and Myrna Loy is the perfect foil

[@jenniferleaakins]

'Bringing Up Baby' is a really good Cary Grant and Kathryn Hepburn movie.

[@johncampbell756]

I like those films, but never liked this one. Weird.

[@RyoHazuki224]

As a long time fan of Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, I wouldn't quite say that Money Pit is a remake of it, more like it was an inspiration for it. For one, in this one the couple doesn't have kids. Minor detail, not necessary for sure. But another, in Mr. Blandings, its not like they were scammed by an old lady. They just wanted a home of their own, and wanted to build it themselves to make it their own, and sure money problems ensued. Money Pit puts a twist on that by having a house that comically falls apart around them! lol Still, both great movies!

[@alfredstimoli2590]

I also came here to highly recommend Cary Grant's Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, you've seen the rest, now time to see the best.

[@RMBittner]

The plot of this one was inspired by the 1940s comedy “Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House.” It’s very funny as well.

Julia Child was a big deal back in the day because there weren't many channels (like less than 10 in most parts of the country) and she was the first accessible cooking show for beginners (and if not the first, then one of the first televised celebrity chef). Her show premiered in the 60s. Tastes became more sophisticated at the time nationwide. Prior to the 50s it was very meat and potatoes, bread, a vegetable boiled to death maybe etc. So, there were a lot of women trying to cook fancier dishes and no one to really show them. Julia shows up, she's hilarious but she's also confident and says its ok to make mistakes. Plus, one of the very few pre-women's-lib shows aimed at women. Her impact was felt for decades. I myself learned how to cook from Julia Child at the ripe old age of 8. My single mom had to work 2 jobs and I was left alone pretty much all day. PB&J gets old fast, and I was already watching PBS to see Mr. Rogers so it wasn't that hard to start cooking. I've been told I'm a pretty good cook ;) Anyway, if you want to see someone learn to cook Julias recipes and kind of see what learning to cook looks like in real time then check out ANTI-CHEF channel on yt. He's pretty funny.

@@michaelceraso1977 I'm going to courteously disagree with you about Shelley Long: I always felt she had magnificent comic timing, and a good sense of the character of Diane. Special notice of this for me goes to the episode where her cat died, and the one where Sam and she had a complicated competition about publishing poetry, and where Long swung from one emotional extreme to another with dizzying skill. If she was difficult, I point to the slow destruction of Diane's character by the writers over the last few seasons she was on the show, and which would have (and did) annoy me as well. Notably, the same thing happened with Rebecca's character over the years, and that Alley did very well with the material she was given.

[@TSIRKLAND]

A couple of people have already recommended it, but I'm here to add my vote for "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House" (1948), the film that inspired The Money Pit. You haven't watched a Cary Grant film on this channel, yet. But I'm sure that once you do, you'll be a fan. His reputation as a handsome, charming leading man is well-deserved, and his comedic chops are also top-notch. If you wanted to throw Cary Grant's "Arsenic and Old Lace" (1944) into the Hallobeans "lights-on, not-so-scary" selections, it would be a terrific experience!

The french already knew how to cook french, and had french chefs, so had no use for her, as for the rest of Europe we didn't know or care. Her success wasn't "across the pond as well" (if you mean across the Atlantic, in the US, in addition to Europe) but solely in the US.

Check out the channe “anti chef” he’s been going through Julia Childs cookbooks

[@adventuresinlaurenland]

Ya, an American chef wasn't going to "make it big" in Europe. She only appealed to the American audience, she was laughed at in Europe.

[@Dularr]

Huh? Julia Childs celebrity came from her New York published cook book and landmark public broadcasting show.

[@jamesrichardson3322]

Ashleigh you have watch the Bachelor Party (1984 ) and the Burbs ( 1989 ) Tom Hanks. Hilarious movies!!

[@wkanost]

I was a projectionist in 1985 at an AMC theater and this was one of the films I ran. I got to see it about a bajillion times but it’s a favorite light comedy. Glad to see you watch and enjoy it. We love you Ashleigh!

[@rodneygerdes3791]

"The Man with One Red Shoe" is another young Tom Hanks movie. Includes Dabny Coleman, Carrie Fisher, and Jim Belushi.

[@barbarabass2189]

This was one of my late father's favorite movies. His favorite scene is the kitchen going haywire and the turkey exploding out of the oven. Watching this today brought back many memories of him for me. Calico cats rule!

[@dougsoffline5305]

Must watch The Burbs from 1989. Still young Tom Hanks and even has Carrie Fisher as his wife.

[@jamesraykenney]

You should watch the much better(in my opinion) "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House" (1948)... It is a much more believable version of this. And the stars ( Cary Grant, and Myrna Loy) are two of the all time greats!

[@shirw]

Oh, I'm going to look for that.... I love anything with Cary Grant anyway!

[@jacquiecrandall6058]

Check out harry and the hendersons, L.A. story, summer rental, parenthood and city slickers. For some more Tom hanks movies, the burbs and joe vs the volcano.

[@thefatman2780]

WATCHED THIS ONE A BUGILLION TIMES AS AN 80s & 90s KID. DAMN FUN FLICK. ENJOY THE DAY LOVELY

[@DBCuzitis]

I have a soft spot for this movie. I know it doesn’t get glowing reviews but that just makes it my sneaky pleasure. I luv building crazy (What? Who snuck that pun in?) just hits my funny bone so sweetly. Tom Hanks is great!

[@jamesdawson2393]

One of my all time favourite films, Tom Hanks is hilarious in this.

[@nsasupporter7557]

Unfortunately it wasn’t as famous his other 80s movies such as “Splash” and “Big.”

[@Kantami]

you should check out Dragnet or The Man With One Red Shoe both are underrated comedies with Tom Hanks, i also highly recommend High Spirits which is a great comedy with Steve Guttenberg.

[@TEXTMANNEN]

The 'Burbs 1989

[@thejamppa]

Turner and Hooch, The Burbs, the Dragnet and this are top four young Tom Hanks films. Thanks for reacting one of them . I really enjoyed this reaction :)

[@lavondabland3179]

Shelley Long is an excellent comedian too, I don't think anyone else will have balanced so well with Tom. And I'm a huge Shelley Long fan Hello again, Outrageous Fortune, and Troop Beverly Hills are a must watch. 😊

[@TxSonofLiberty]

Hello Again (1987) is one of her best. Sadly, her Career peaked and truly only spanned a hair more than single decade, then she sort of faded into background and obscurity... from 1981 to 1993 she rose, soared, and then poofed... she took 4 years to move from minor player to lead female role, would stay in the lead for 12 years, then almost overnight (okay, she faded for two years, then) just become a minor player all over again (no, seriously, I didn't even realize she'd worked in over a decade, making a Disney Channel Appearance, and that I thought was a failed attempt after another decade of nothing to jump-start her career since her brief reprise of Diane Chambers from Cheers on its spin-off show, Fraiser...)

[@stephenolan5539]

And Night Shift.

[@LG123ABC]

@@TxSonofLiberty She was good in the Brady Bunch movies.

[@TxSonofLiberty]

@@LG123ABC She was good, but she was not really a central character, the Brady Children were more the leads, with Gary Cole as Mike to give the speeches and she just nodded or chimed in with a "Jan" or something..

[@dpcnreactions7062]

The conductor was one of the Henchmen Bruce Willis killed in Die Hard and I can't get enough of Yackoff, the guy that kicked them out of their place early in the movie.

[@stillaboveground2470]

The actor who played Max was also in "Die Hard" and "Witness".

[@beboz28]

Joe versus the Volcano is another funny young Tom Hanks movie it’s a little quirky and Meg Ryan is in it as well

[@carlosrvra]

One of my favorite 80s movies; an underrated classic! ... "TWO WEEKS!" "How can I help you? // You got a gun?" And I ALSO love the closing Ode to Joy remix with the rock band. Wish that was on KZbin somewhere. If you like old school Tom Hanks, may I also recommend THE MAN WITH ONE RED SHOE, and BACHELOR PARTY.

[@laurachamberlain6864]

I'm so happy you reacted to this! Speaking of Meryl Streep, I think you would love the movie 'She-Devil'. Fingers crossed that one of your patreons has asked for it :)

[@Tigermania]

If you recommend a movie to reaction channels you always hope they will like it, glad you enjoyed the movie Ashleigh.

[@regould221]

You do realize that this movie is actually a documentary about home repair.

[@donovanmedieval]

I forgot Yakov Smirnov was in it.

[@ianfeuerhake1859]

What a country!

[@StCerberusEngel]

In Money Pit, house demolishes you!

[@ThaiDreamer]

You should watch the burbs with Tom hanks.

[@redbird1202]

Such a great movie! Thanks Ashleigh!

[@joeymichealdernetz6195]

Yeah great movie

[@jahrolo]

I remember as clear as it was yesterday, that over 30 years ago I watched this movie with my parents. When the tub rushes through the floor, my Dad almost choked to death - I´ve never seen him laughing that hard ever since :D

[@MCAdrock]

I love this movie even just watching this way and seeing bits of it, I’m dying

[@highrisehomestead8950]

Always liked this one "Funny Farm" is another fun one😊

[@russellh.3150]

"For a while, I thought the Care Bears were here!" That's the one that always gets me lol. Love the channel!

[@allies5725]

This is such a hidden gem! "The Burbs" is another good Tom Hanks comedy, and "Night Shift" is a good Shelley Long comedy.

[@LinksPB]

The Burbs sound be a nice intro to Hallobeans

[@flightgamer7849]

Tom Hank's laugh was a meme before there were memes.

[@jorgejefferson8251]

To this day one of the funniest gut busting movies I've ever seen.

[@robertmolton6761]

I've always loved this movie. It's the perfect and extreme example of the phrase "when it rains, it pours". That's the way it feels sometimes. lol Also, Tom Hanks' reactions are priceless.

[@kentclark6420]

I would like to suggest a Christmas movie, even though it's a little soon for that. It's called 'Polar Express', and it's an amazing work of cinema, with computer animated characters. Oh, I just realized that Tom Hanks is one of the voices in the movie. I think he is the conductor.

[@danmonges1539]

He did several voices in the movie. I love the book but hate the movie. The animation is too creepy! But that's me! I know plenty of people who love it!

[@RyoHazuki224]

YAY! I'm so dang happy that somebody finally reacted to one of my favorite 80's comedies! I kept on hoping somebody would some day, and I'm glad you did, Ash! And I'm glad you liked it too! My favorite part is when the oven blew up, the way Tom Hanks does that quick look as the turkey shoots out of the oven, cracks me up every time!! XD

[@Trilaan]

This film is one of my oldest movie memories. I like the previous version, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House(1948)a bit better but mostly because I'm a bit more of a Cary Grant fan than a Tom Hanks fan.

[@yw1971]

Get to Hanks "The 'Burbs"

[@snakeplisskin8151]

Should watch the burbs with Tom Hanks. Classic funny film.

[@katiemayo1518]

This movie was on repeat when I was a kid. '2 weeks! 2 weeks!' was often quoted when talking about things that just didn't happen according to schedule lol

[@StCerberusEngel]

There's so many times in daily life when you can quote this movie. I've been paged over the intercom at work, while I'm standing in the middle of the department I'm being paged to. It's all I can do to not scream "I'M RIGHT HERE!"🪑

[@195511SM]

'S.O.B.'.......That shot of Tom Hanks sinking thru the hole in the floor reminded me of 'S.O.B.'.....a comedy directed by Blake Edwards. It featured an all-star cast: Julie Andrews, Richard Mulligan, Robert Webber, Robert Vaughn, William Holden......trust me on this.

[@louhillen8254]

I LOVE THIS FILM! Please review The ‘Burbs - a Tom Hanks underrated classic!!

[@beverlycrusher9713]

of course there is always tom hanks breakout movie BACHELOR PARTY
