Reviews of The 'Burbs 1989

I eff-ing LOVE this movie. It's 100% original and walks the suspense/comedy line very deftly. Tom Hanks and Bruce Dern are hysterical; hell, even Corey Feldman shines.

Tom Hanks stars as Ray Peterson in this hilarious 80's comedy classic. Ray is on holiday from work and to the annoyance of his wife decides to spend his vacation investigating the rather odd goings on of his creepy new next door neighbours: The Clopeks. It's hilarious throughout and the characters are all nothing short of superb - from Rick Ducommun's "Art Weingartner", the childish gossip-mongering buffoon, to Bruce Dern's "Rumsfield", the paranoid ex Army, flag flying Lieutenant.

Find this film endlessly quotable: "I want to kill everyone. Satan is good. Satan is our pal. "
"Bout a nine on the tension scale there, Reub."
"There go the Goddamn brownies!"
"Oh-ho. Got somebody tied up in the ol' cellar, have yah, Rube?"
Could go on and on about this cult classic... -

LOVE this movie. Creepy, funny and totally 80's. Watch the adults of a neighborhood start acting like children, Sandlot style.

One of the greatest comedies I've ever seen. An absolute classic that needs to be on everyone's watch list.
