DVD Reviews of For Richer or Poorer
DVD Review: Hysterically funny, wish the DVD had more special features.
Summary: 4 Stars
"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.
Description of For Richer or Poorer
DVDTim Allen and Kirstie Alley are New York scammers on the lam from the IRS--they got framed by their slimy accountant, Wayne Knight of Seinfeld--so they hide out as fake Amish farmers in Intercourse, Pennsylvania. As parodies of Witness go, For Richer or Poorer can't compete with the Woody Harrelson-Bill Murray flick Kingpin, by the creators of Dumb & Dumber. Allen and Alley are directed by the creator of McHale's Navy. But wait, come back! The true test of talent is a capacity to romp right through weak material, and while this story is hopelessly lame and formulaic, Allen and Alley are credible candidates for the clown prince and princess of broad TV comedy. When somebody wonders how come alleged Amish guy Tim Allen has no beard, Kirstie says, "Lice." Of course, his face has no lice on it either, so Kirstie adds, "Minute lice!" --Tim Appelo
