Plot: Plagued by debts, New Yorkers Brad (Tim Allen) and Caroline (Kirstie Alley) Sexton continue to live the high life while maintaining the deception of wealth. But then real estate developer Brad learns his accountant has balanced the books in his own favor, appropriated $5 million, and flown to South America -- after first devising a set-up in which only Brad and Caroline would be blamed by the IRS. With IRS agent Derek Lester (Larry Miller) on their tail, the Sextons escape from New York. They arrive at the Amish community of Intercourse, Pennsylvania, where they pose as the Missouri relatives of farmer Samuel Yoder (Jay O. Sanders). It's the perfect hiding place, but it requires Brad and Caroline to suppress their previous sophisticated lifestyle, as they attempt to adopt Amish attitudes and customs. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

A good oldie
Added 10/16/2009

I loved the movie when I watched it years ago. My daughter reminded me of it and we tried at all the video stores to hire it without luck...that's why I bought it.
It is about a marriage on the rocks and is funny in places with the couple learning to fall inlove again. You won't be disappointed with the ending. I can't remember any swearing in it and think it is a basically clean movie.

Wonderful story line that draws in the viewer and holds his attention until the very end. The busy business partnership that became the foundation of the main characters' marriage (Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley) proved inadequate when the money disappeared and they became fugitives from justice. Divorce was imminent but it would have to wait until they sorted out their situation--amid the Amish (where they "landed" in flight from the FBI).

As the story line evolves there are changes in the characters' hearts. Conflict resolution comes from the salve that is the simplicity of the Amish way of life.

Gorgeous scenery and colorful characters round out this upbeat comedy. It is one to own and view over and over with those you love.

could have been a lot better
Added 9/9/2009

I wonder why this movie is so well-known. It has some serious dismerits:

1. It's tough to swallow. The plot could have been much better without sacrificing much of the comedy.

2. Er, what comedy? The movie takes itself so seriously on so many occasions that you wonder if we're really here to laugh.

3. The "peek at Amish society" was much better done in Witness (Special Collector's Edition)(Widescreen); this one has many major inaccuracies.

4. The hatred between the husband and wife was so convincing, that their later rapprochement isn't.

5. No subtitles or extras!

Extremely Satisfied

I was very satisfied. This was a mothers day gift and i let the seller know, and he got it to me in plenty of time. The movie came in the original packaging like it stated.
