Funny Farm - 1988 ***



Chevy Chase is a funny actor but so far I haven't seen anything that merits itself better than the National Lampoon movies that he is famously known for.

Chase stars as Andy Farmer, a writer who has recently bought a weirdly disfunctional house in the country with his wife where he can write to his heart's content without any distractions. Well if it's not bad enough being so far away they can't contact anyone if they are in trouble they also have a series of mishaps including the movers losing their bed, the telephone going missing and then only accepting quarters when it's located, the maniac of a delivery man throwing their newspaper into the river, and to top it all, having a car accident which results in Andy barely being able to walk. All in the space of a few weeks. It's quite a funny film but it's no way near on the scale of something like 'Caddyshack' which is literally a laugh a minute.
