    FYI, the guy in the beginning who says "You're still here?" is Ukrarian-American comedian Yakov Smirnoff. He started out doing stand comedy in the Soviet Union and came to the US in the late 70s. He was all over TV and movies in the 80s. I still remember him on TV shows like 'Night Court' and doing commercials for Best Western hotels. He still does comedy tours today and has his own theater in Branson, Missouri.

    This movie taught me that when you're looking at a house to take a wall socket tester to test all the sockets. Check all the faucets, tub & shower; hot & cold. Turn on all the light switches. Preheat the oven and check the burners. If it comes with a dishwasher have it run a quick cycle while you're checking the rest of the house.

    @GetFitwithDogs 3 месяца назад +18

    You're right to judge this girl for "cheating" on Tom Hank's character. What's even worse than her "cheating" is her reaction to being held to account for it.
    I know that she didn't actually do it, but she believed she did and still was angry at Tom Hanks' character for his reaction to an affair.
    That is a deal-breaker, IMO. All relationships MUST have deal-breakers. If you don't have "deal-breakers", then you establish yourself in the relationship as a doormat and the problem eventually repeats itself because there aren't real repercussions for bad behavior. If your partner KNOWS you have deal-breakers - and will stick to them - then they are FAR less likely to screw up. They know the stakes.
    I know some people might respond and say that this is too harsh. I don't care and I would disagree. I think it is about self-respect and having standards. This has served me well in life and I've had nothing but great relationships as a result. With this perspective, I've avoided bad relationships and only had good ones. Even relationships that didn't work out were left on good terms and I've nothing bad to say about any girl I dated. Not that the list is long, mind you. I was always a more relationship-centered person than interested in dating a lot. Find a great girl (or guy), and see if it works. Non-serious relationships just for fun - IMO - are bad for the soul and bad for long-term happiness.
    Anyways, the point is that in movies it seems common to tell the story with the main characters blowing off and forgiving red flags or deal-breakers. I believe in forgiveness, but I do not believe in staying in a relationship with someone who violates it. Find someone who doesn't do that.

      No, not "punished" for what she didn't do; Held accountable for lying at first, trying to keep a big secret like that, and then acting irrationally angry at him for being upset over her "cheating".
      While it was later revealed that she didn't do it and she was misled by her ex (who absolutely is an a-hole), she still lied about it, tried to keep it a secret, and then treated him like crap for being upset over infidelity.
      I don't know about you, but I don't want a partner who would behave that way. That takes a serious lack of principles, is a violation of trust, and is someone who proved that they would abuse you for being mad over their own indiscretion.
      No thanks. That's a "Bye Felicia" for me. 🤷‍♂️

    No, you're not being judgemental. She was careless with his feelings and trust, and that should be deal beaker. It's not about the sex; it's the lack of empathy and respect. This isn't something that can be reconciled, because people don't just become empathetic overnight, and they certainly aren't going to respect you more after you forgive them. They just learn to hide that part of themselves better.

    Hello Dasha!😊 Tom Hanks started out starring on the TV sitcom "Bossom Buddies" in 1980. After that they only offered him comedy films for a while. Shelley Long is best known from the TV sitcom "Cheers", about a bar in Boston. The estimated value of the house was about $1 million, that they bought for $200,000. So, they probably did not spend anywhere near $800,000 for the repairs, so they probably still made out with a good deal.😉 Great reactions to this early silly Tom Hanks film, Dasha!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Have a nice weekend!😊

This was one of my favorite Tom Hanks comedies ever! Also the guy who is moving the stuff around at the beginning with the Russian accent was Yakov Smirnoff. He was a pretty popular comedian in the early 80s.

    What a great 80s comedy. It tends to fly under the radar for some reason. The whole scene with the kitchen destroying itself and the turkey and the bathtub falling through the floor still cracks me up. the chimney falling through the wall and Tom Hanks' face when he went to bed, hilarious. Personally, i didn't really care for Shelly Long's character. She had some funny moments but the way she handled the whole cheating thing. Props to her for telling him (even though nothing happened) but for her to get mad at Walter, yeah no. Honestly, a decent woman wouldn't put herself in that situation in the first place. I mean, having dinner with her ex knowing he still has the hots for her while her husband is out of town? Only a hoe bag would do that.

    SO many great Tom Hanks comedies from the 80s. The Money Pit, Volunteers, Bachelor Party, Turner and Hooch, Big. I often miss Funny Tom Cruise. Around the time he did Philadelphia and Saving Private Ryan he largely made the shift into drama.
    Thank you for the translation! I've seen this so many times but never knew what the moving guys in the beginning were saying, lol.
    The bearded functionary who suggests "Maybe we could live here all together" is played comedian Yakov Smirnoff. He was actually a pretty big act in the mid to late 80s, with a shtick of making humorous comparisons of American society to Russia under the Soviet Union, what's come to be called the "Russian Reversal" in American culture. Once such joke went: "Show business in America is different from what I was used to. Here you have to find an agent. In Russia, the agent (as in, the KGB) always finds you." Smirnov didn't INVENT the form, with one of the earliest uses being by Cole Porter in the late-1930s, but he certainly helped to popularize it in the 80s. Naturally, his popularity waned quite significantly after the fall of the Soviet Union since much of his comedy was built around satire and criticism of the Soviet regime, though he does still perform today.
    I love jelly donuts, too. They're my favorites (I like cinnamon rolls, too).
    There really are conductors that are as demanding and have as big of an ego as Max.
    I love how in the track scene Tom Hanks is just walking along at a normal pace, while Josh Mostel is "jogging" beside him while drenched in sweat.
    "Carlos was Hitler's pool man." There's a VERY old and long-standing conspiracy theory that Hitler didn't actually commit suicide as the Soviets besieged Berlin, but escaped to Argentina. There certainly were a LOT of Nazi officials who fled there and to other parts of South America after the War including, Josef Mengele and Adolf Eichmann, which is part of what the conspiracy theory relied on to lend it legitimacy. No matter HOW thoroughly it gets debunked, its one that comes up from time to time in fiction.
    "There must be something wrong with the house." Hence the title. ;-)
    The housing market isn't much better in the States these days...
    The implication is that the woman's story was a con job, and they fell for it. She never actually lived there.
    Max is pretty low and self-serving letting Anna think they slept together when they actually didn't, but I think it DOES ultimately convince him that she and Walter are meant to be together. He's still a douche who tried to manipulate the situation to his benefit. At least he acknowledges how much of a shallow creep he is.
    "Slipped and fell on his dick." If these comments aren't called Dashaisms they need to be.
    I love they implied that the dad got shafted in the end.
    Part of the situation with Max and Anna is they have to work together in the orchestra. Music is a VERY difficult and competitive industry, so there's not a lot of options for Anna to go somewhere else (because let's face it, Max wouldn't volunteer to find another job himself, and renowned conductors can make or break an orchestra). As a result, it's kind of hard NOT to have to spend time around one another. I think the implication is meant to be that in the end Max is gracious in defeat. It's still one of those things that only works in movie land.

  • @gluuuuue

    TLDR: $200k today? Depends. (Markets have changed a lot.) $573k today? Maybe, if you're a developer and plan to live in it yourself. $200k in 1986? Absolutely not.
    At the point in the movie when you asked, 9:26, the house *could* be worth $200k in 2024 dollars, IF:
    - the foundation was still good (probably piers since older home)
    - the framing was still strong with minor repairs (but this is a part of the country with older framing)
    - the roof was good
    - depending on the size of the lot
    - location (forgot but thought this was in NY state, but seems like exurbs of New England somewhere)
    which requires an inspection of each of those things, but I would possibly do myself if I were considering buying.
    $200k in 1986 dollars? That's ~$573k today (2024). But, knowing housing prices through the '80s, that was higher end for an SFH. Labor and materials were cheaper then, but:
    - all electrical needs to be completely redone (panel, circuits, maybe SE wiring)
    - HVAC was both significantly cheaper but also much less advanced than today
    - plumbing probably needs to be completely redone, as leaks probably contributed to long-term water damage, termite damage, etc.
    - but since moisture issues usually also means mold, that is not cheap ($5k - $50k today depending, maybe more, although they don't seem to have smelled anything)
    So plumbing + electrical + mechanical is maybe $30 - $40k back then and $80 - 120k today.
    The hassle alone would cost you *another* $100k itself, just to have to learn all this and manage it (generally from all the mistakes you'll make), because you're effectively a buyer who needs to act like your own general contractor. Someone who is a developer, or with a fair bit of experience, $573k might be worth it today (assuming nothing else goes wrong, which, with half the movie to go, we know will not be the case). Or if they're just wealthier, like tech money. For most people, it wasn't worth $200k in 1986, it wouldn't be worth $573k today, and it could be worth $200k today, assuming you don't have to do anything besides fully gutting the house, but, because you want to get 30 years of house, you'd want your plumbing/elec/mechanical to be good for 2024 - 2054+, which means not just up to code, but meeting our 2024 expectations of the coming decades. (And then we haven't talked about or considered: modern insulation, weatherproofing/sealing, siding repairs, gutters, general weatherizing, fencing, permits and inspections.) I would say it's $100k to $400k of work, with the higher end being if you want to get maximal value back into the home and back out over the next 30+years.
    The movie's depiction is unrealistic for the comedic effect of surprise. Because there's so much rot or termite damage in doorframes, stairs, subfloor, possibly framing, that for each thing to suddenly structurally fail like that, you would have heard lots of creaking everywhere as you even walked around, let alone closed doors.

    I love this movie and having survived a couple of remodeling projects I can tell you that it ain't that far from the reality. Its an excellent remake of the original 'Mr Blanding Builds His Dream House'.

    $200,000 for that house? Oh yeah, there's definitely something wrong with it. The proper asking price probably should've been in the the millions if not the tens of millions. The cost of the house's restoration? I shudder to think of how much it would've cost. Let me put it this way, it would not have been worth it if you planned to live in it, Walter and Anna could not have conceivably come up with the money necessary to pay for a full restoration. Even if they had gone into debt (which possibly could've been in the millions too). A house with that much wrong with it, wouldn't have been worth restoring. The cost of labour (highly specialized labour too, you don't hire the regular construction guys to do this sort of restoration, you hire people who specialize in restoring old houses) and materials would've been prohibitive, to all but the richest of people with money to throw around. This comes from my two years of studying Heritage Carpentry, which had a couple classes on restoring houses like this one.
    I've long held the theory that the old lady that sold them the house and the guy who was the carpenter. Were husband and wife the ringleaders of a construction scam. They buy houses like this, pass them off to some unsuspecting buyer like Walter and Anna. Then make even more money fixing up the lemon they sold them in the first place. At the end of the movie we see them selling Walter's Father and his new bride a house. Chances are there's something wrong with that house too.

    Here's the thing about Anna. She knows (or at least thinks) that she made a big mistake sleeping with Max. She feels guilty, embarrassed, ashamed, and most of all, scared of losing Walter. She didn't want to tell him anything, hoping that she could just pretend it never happened, and that everything would be fine. But Walter *immediately* asked her if she slept with Max (which is kind of weird, when you think about it). He insisted that he wouldn't be mad, that if she told him then he'd forgive her and everything would be all right. She took a big risk believing him, and when she told him, he called her a whore and started yelling at her. You must admit, that was a pretty messed up thing for Walter to do.
    You also have to remember that the whole thing with the house and all its problems and fixing everything is a metaphor for their relationship. Anna keeps saying everything is going to be great, trying to ignore the problems, while Walter keeps getting more and more insecure about them. When things start to get really bad, Walter gets mad and accuses Anna of always hating the house (him), and Anna screams "I love this house", which is her saying she still loves him and doesn't want to give up. But Walter won't forgive her, like he said he would, so she can't make him. And then, when the workman says that as long as the foundation is good, everything else can be fixed, Walter finally forgives Anna and she sees that he really does love her back. It's brilliant writing.

    You're not the only one who thinks it's weird. She clearly has him whipped and he will eventually end up taking it.
    She's allowed to pull all kinds of stuff but he's not allowed to become angry at it, is like a spoiled, selfish little girl's mentality and it's a red flag.
    Outside of this movie they would be divorced within 5 years and she's sue to get as much as possible from him.

    You were trying to decide if this was worth $200,000. One thing you didn't seem to consider was that this movie was made in 1986. That is 38 years ago. You need to ask yourself if this was worth $200,000 38 years ago. I would put that amount in 2024 dollars to be roughly $2 million or more.

      The characters are speaking Spanish because the intent was to show that THEY are not who they claim to be, and it shows just how clueless Walter's father and bride are that they didn't pick up on it (just like Walter and Anne should have been immediately suspicious of the sob story they were fed because of how obvious it was).
