Former sportswriter Andy Farmer and his secretly aspiring author wife, Elizabeth, move to a small farm in Vermont, so Andy can focus on writing a novel. They quickly realize that the locals are not as welcoming as they'd like and that the farm is more distracting than inspiring. Having trouble with his manuscript, and with his marriage on the rocks, Andy is forced to take hilariously drastic measures in an attempt to get his life back on track.

Funny Farm is one of those small miracles that starts out like a lot of other movies and then somehow finds its own way, step after step, to an original comic vision.

Funny concept with some fun rural gags. Would have faired better with more townspeople involvement and arch.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

I walked out of the theater before it was over. It was the first time I had done this. Sadly, it wasn't the last.
