For Richer or Poorer | Year: 1997 Classification: Comedy Directed: - Bryan Spicer Actors/Actresses: - Tim Allen - Kirstie Alley An excellent comedy This is one of these rare classic comedies you don't want to miss. You'll laugh your heart out. Through some odd circumstances a wealthy NYC developer (Tim Allen) gets in trouble with the IRS. Suddenly, he and his wife (Kirstie Alley) must flee from the authorities and they must leave their wealth behind. The couple ends up in Amish country and there they fake to be Amish cousins of a certain Amish family so that they can remain in hiding until their legal mess is cleared up. Everything's going crazy as the worldly couple tries to fit into this religious community. It's a fun movie and a laughfest so very rare these days. There's plenty of suspense as the IRS is closing in on their hide out, and we think "For Richer or Poorer" is one of the best comedies in years. An excellent comedy. 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. Two Different Movies 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.
