great movie I recommend it to everyone
This is one of Tom Hanks' better comedic roles as a laid back suburban family man, who with his suspicious neighbors, feels that the new family on the block is up to no good. After a few recon missions around the house that fail to give them the scoop on these weirdos with the dead lawn, a suburban signal flare that you don't belong there, they just go up and ring the bell. Inside the house they meet the eccenric Klopecks who are always on the move for some reason, and soon will be moving again. The next day when the Klopecks go to make more moving arrangements, the gaggle of suspicious neighbors springs into action. With full military precision they gain entry to the creepy home and procede to the basement. There, Mr. Peterson (Hanks) and his cohort (Rick Ducommun), break a gas line digging for evidence in the basement trying to link the Klopecks to the disappearance of an elderly neighbor. Just as they are running from the leaking gas line, the Klopecks are returning home. Also returning home is the neighbor they all thought was murdered by the newcomers. Peterson (Hanks), running from the fireball that was thw Klopecks' house sees that they have returned with the cops, and all hell breaks loose, with fingers of accusation pointing everywhere, Peterson gives up and concedes defeat. He voluntarily dives into a waiting ambulance, hoping to get that rest he missed on his "vacation". The neighbors were right after all, and the evil Dr. Klopeck is there trying to silence Ray Peterson once and for all. After a struggle, the ambulance crashes, and its all over for the Klopecks, and the evidence in the trunk of their car is enough for the cops. Overall a little corny acting and dull jokes don't ruin this Hanks classic.

When viewed from a high hilltop, the vast expanse of Pennsylvania land that makes up the historic Gettysburg battlefields appears to have few secrets. Tall bushes and a cluster of rocks seem like small hiding places for the Union and Confederate armies that fought here in July 1863 in the bloodiest confrontation of the Civil War.

1 of 1 found this helpful Another perfect film from the Coen brothers. Although I am a huge fan of Raising Arizona, I have to say that this is truly their masterpiece. Each role is carefully crafted by the actors involved--Frances McDormand, William H Macy, Steve Buscemi, and the list goes on. Especially funny are the Northern-US speech patterns, which are believable and outrageous at the same time. Ya?
Jerry Lundergaard is a loser, and his father-in-law never lets him forget it. When he envisions a scheme to help take his family out of debt and into the big time, he searches for a source of funding. After being denied money from his father-in-law, he decides he'll get money out of him anyway. He has his wife kidnapped, thinking that his father-in-law will pay the ransom and he'll be none the wiser. Well, as you can imagine, things don't go according to plan. People die in all sorts of strange and violent ways, but you can't help but be mesmerized by the picture. The characters, filming, and plot are painstakingly perfect in this dark comedy. One of the best movies ever made.
