Summary: Better than Howard the Duck
Review: This screen gem ranks among the most underrated films of all time, in my humble, if not a bit drunk, opinion. While not the funniest movie ever (although there are certainly some pants peeing moments and a plethora of quotable lines)nor the scariest ever, it's just got a great feel to it. Not only is Tom Hanks in top form, but all of the supporting cast gives some of the best performances captured on film since the Charlie Chaplin era of silent film. Bruce Dern is brilliant. If I were a director I would cast this grizzled vetran in every movie ever made, including teen comedies, soft core skin flicks, and inner-city documentaries. This movie is one of my Top 5 ever. Take that to the bank. Owwwwwww baby!!!!

Summary: See it again and again!
Review: I have seen this movie more times then I can remember, but if I am channel surfing and come upon it by chance, I will most likely see it again. I rate this movie a high five because just like "The Blues Brothers", "Airplane" and "Ferris Beullers Day off", It is not only well written and has a great cast, but is a story within a story, doesn't slow down for a minute and finishes with a great surprise ending. If you haven't seen this movie yet, I highly recommend it.

Summary: So, how well do you know your neighbors?
Review: Have you ever had those neighbors that you just weren't sure about? All Ray Peterson (Tom Hanks) wants to do is enjoy his weekend off, but when the new creepy neighbors show up they become the subject of the neighborhood. While Ray tries to escape the mystery surrounding the Klopeks, his friends on the block continue to pester him about the new people. And, when one of the neighbors disappears, even Ray begins to have suspicions. Welcome to Suburbia! The Burbs, probably a movie you would not notice in a video store, is a great summer comedy because of its originality and darkness. With Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher (as his wife), Bruce Dern, and Corey Feldman, this movie asks the question: How well do you really know your neighbors? (Which begs the second question: How much do you really want to know?) Ray and his neighbor chums begin to look around and discover, little by little, what could be the breakthrough to their answers. The only question is how far will they dig and how far will they go before they find the answer (...or how far before they get caught). The zaniness and slapstick type of humor is great in this movie, and the movie certainly asserts a message about privacy (of lack thereof) when dealing with neighbors. Best lines:
Ray Peterson: " I've never seen that. Ive never seen anyone drive their garbage to the street and bang the hell out of it with a stick." Uncle Reuben Klopek: "NO!"
Mark Rumsfield: "About a nine on the tension scale, Rube." I recommend this movie for anyone. It didn't get much attention, and their isn't much of a plot, but this is just good humor.

Summary: Great Lines - Great Laughs
Review: Tom Hanks is the every day suburbanite home on vacation. He doesn't want to fight holiday traffic to go to the lake so he is going to 'pad around the house' for a few days relaxation and maybe do so home projects. His plans begin to go awry when his neighbor, Art, puts him up to finding out about the new neighbors who have moved in next door to him. In the midst of lush green lawns, they have let all the grass and trees die in theirs, the house is showing signs of disrepair and there is this unbelievable sound coming from their basement. After the old man at the end of the cul-de-sac disappears, all eyes turn to the new neighbors. Tom Hanks as the realist, Art as the conspiracy theorist and the gung ho weapons dealer across the street come together to make a comic trio as they try to get to the bottom of the noise in the basement. This is a bundle of laughs, great one liners and Tom Hanks has a wonderful 'speech' at the end. And Amazon has the best price I have seen on it.

Summary: Terrible attempt at a comedy
Review: This movie is not funny but scary. I watched it when I was a little kid and it gave me nightmares. It should be classified as a horror movie. Well, I've rewatched it since then and have not changed my mind. Though it did not give me nightmares, I will always be afraid to go near such a horrible film again. The bad acting, bad script, and overall bad plot makes for a frighteningly bad evening of movie viewing.

Summary: THE BURBS
Review: This a movie that you watch over and over again. It has a great bunch of terrific actors, and Tom Hanks blends in well with them all. I have watched this movies so many times, when I need a good laugh, this does it for me. I will not go into details, but if love comedy, this is Soooo funny, you will not get tired of watching it, and everytime you watch it, I promise, you'll laugh so much, you'll have tears in your eyes. Everytime we go to our vacation home, this movies is on our list to go. My husband and I are kind of middle aged so to speak, but everyone who sees this movies loved it. It is a keeper for sure. If you own it, you'll never part with it, if you don't own it, buy it, you be glad you did. Wait till you see the cast, they are all just great in this, what I term as a one of the geatest comedies we've watched.

Summary: Repeat value
Review: The 'Burbs isn't one of those movies you'd see being drooled over by film critics or even audiences, but it is one of those movies that if you saw it on TV every couple of months, you'd watch it. Joe Dante's weird sense of humor shines on this movie even more than the Gremlins movies. It also offers a cast of characters that are as much relatable as they are crazy. Everyone has weird neighbors, right? Tom Hanks is in top comedic form in this one offering classic lines like "I've never seen anyone drive their garbage to the street and bang the hell out of it with a stick." Then you have the hilarious neighbor Rick Ducommunn who I feel should have had a better career after this film. Corey Feldman (always a treat) plays the irresponsible teen and Bruce Dern is brilliant as the crazy military reject. All these characters mixed up in a bizzare murder mystery is pure magic. But what makes this movie have replay value is the little things that you don't necessarily catch while watching for the first time. For example, when Rick Ducommunn comes over to visit Tom Hanks and eats nearly everything in his refrigerator while the audience is engrossed with his tales of terror. Or just the body movement of Hanks when he observes the weirdness of his neighborhood throughout the film. Hilarious. I may be looked upon as weird for giving this movie 5 stars, but it is one I can always rely on for a good laugh and good quotes. "NO!" "About a 9 on the tension scale, Rube."
"I want to kill everyone. Satan is good. Satan is our pal."
"Red rover red rover let Ray go over."
"I've been blown up! Take me to the hospital, I'm sick." Watch this movie and you too will quote these lines forever.

Summary: Too real
Review: A mysterious family moves into an old fixer-upper in the neighborhood. Strange comings, goings, and sounds are heard in the night. Add to this a bone that the dog has recovered from their recently spaded back yard.
Naturally the neighbors must face up to the challenge and prove or disprove roomers about another missing neighbor.
As much as the mystery it is the interaction among the neighbors that make this film. You are introduced to a cast of characters that if you live in the burbs you could easily identify with.
