Rating: Summary: Hysterically funny, wish the DVD had more special features. Review: "For Richer or Poorer" is a movie that I've seen several times and one which I enjoy sharing with people who haven't seen it; sharing their reactions to Kirstie Alley's and Tim Allen's antics is a big kick for me. I paid ... more than I like to pay for a DVD--especially one with so little to offer in Special Features. (I believe there is nothing in special features because of the age of the film; DVDs were still gaining popularity when this movie was made.) I wanted my own copy of the film and prefer the DVD format to VHS. It arived separately from the rest of my Amazon order (via U.S. mail, which was just fine and very timely), and the quality of the DVD picture and sound are fine. I am pleased with the movie; I just wish it had been cheaper and that there was more to offer in terms of commentary, outtakes, behind-the-scenes footage, etc. Two DVDs come to mind immediately that are super-packed with Special Features that I just loved: "The Planet of the Apes" (Mark Wahlberg, directed by Tim Burton) and "Legally Blonde" (Reese Witherspoon). I'm pretty sure that the people who put together DVDs will recognize that the buying public prefer discs packed with extra material and will produce more complex packages that this edition of "For Richer or Poorer." That criticism aside, the movie is a must-have for a serious collector of comedy movies, and the DVD format is infinitely preferable to VHS.
Rating: Summary: Two Different Movies Review: For me this was two movies --- the first all tinsel and the second was much improved, a delightful spin of the fast lane turned Amish.The bits about Jacob and Emma finding themselves and their marriage again was charming and entertaining. Thus, 1 star for first half, 4 for second, three overall.
Rating: Summary: A good family film Review: For Richer Or Poorer is a great film for the entire family. Believe me.
Rating: Summary: An excellent comedy. Review: For Richer, For Poorer stands out as one of the best films I have ever seen. On the run from the IRS, rich, but feuding marriage partners played by Tim Allen and Kirsty Alley end up in the Amish village of Intercourse, PA., posing as members of the Amish community. As you will know, the Amish are the plain folk of America, putting their love of God before all else, living a simple life without electricity or any sort of modern technology. Without ruining the ending, I will say that the main characters in this movie finally realise that there is a lot more to life than riches. This is the ultimate feel good movie, mixing comedy with a strong story line which makes us re evaluate what riches really are. Watch this film. It could change your life.
Rating: Summary: wonderful Review: I buy very few movies, but after renting this one twice I bought it and have watched it numerous times. This is one of the top three funniest movies I have ever seen and it gets funnier everytime that I watch it. I also think that the Amish are portrayed favorably (unlike in some other movies). If you buy few movies and like side-splitting laughter, this is the one.
Rating: Summary: Fun to watch again! Review: I have seen this movie many times, and enjoyed it more each time - Kirstie Alley and Tim Allen are a very charming couple and work well together.
Rating: Summary: This is a GREAT movie!!! Review: I Laughed harder every time i saw this movie. It Rulz! I liked this movie so much, because it is so funny, and also because this movie was so well writen!You should really go and see this movie!!=O)
Rating: Summary: I would rent it again Review: I liked this movie. I liked watching how the Amish lifestyle was like but my only complaint on this movie would be the name of the town it took place and some of the language.
Rating: Summary: Great movie! Review: I think this is a very hilarious movie. Tim Allen & Kirstie Alley are perfect as the couple running away from the IRS and the movie trails the path the couple decides to take when they reside in a very traditional Amish community. They inject some life into the community; Tim helps to plow the fields with "Big-John" and Kirstie adds colour into their grey traditional clothes. It is a very humourous movie and it is touching when the couple stand together side by side when the Judge decides to pass a sentence and we know that they have truly reconciled their differences and are a couple again, no longer on the brink of divorce. Everyone should really watch this movie with their families. It is a very enjoyable movie!
Rating: Summary: WONDERUFL CAST! VERY FUNNY! Review: I thought that Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley were absolutely wonderful together. I thought that the storyline was very good and the casting was amazing.
