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, Rovi

    One of my favorites. Tim Allen and Kristi Alley are a perfect combo in this hilarious movie. What I like best about it, is that it doesn't rely on potty humor or "colored" lauguage, and is a good family movie.

    Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley made a good match in this funny movie.

    Tim Allen does one thing in many of his movies as well as or better than most other actors - portray the bad marriage. He also converts to the sappy husband at the end of too many movies. I liked this movie but believe it could have been better without all the addtional swearing early in the movie. I recommend this movie for families that are tolerant of course language or are willing to explain the first 30 minutes rather than allow the kids to watch it.
