About Funny Farm

George Roy Hill (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) directed this 1988 comedy that gives star Chevy Chase one of his better-quality vehicles. Chase plays a New York sportswriter who turns to the country for a simpler, happier way of living. He discovers, of course, that things don't work out that way. Hill's usual touch with comic timing, tone, and dialogue give Chase a rare career opportunity to be part of something a little classier than most of his other movies; but Funny Farm nevertheless has its share of so-what gags. Still, the film's overall tone is winning and laid-back, and it makes for nice escapist fare. --Tom Keogh Amazon.com

Funny Farm

This movie was made when Chevy Chase was doing some of his best work. Unfortunately this was not the best example of it. It was entertaining and had some funny moments, but there are better movies that showcase his comedic genius such as Fletch.

I have added this to my Christmas collection as the scenes they did for the holidays were a scream! With all the amazing supporting characters, I expected more from the film than I got.

its ok

Not the best Chevy Chase movie, and not the worst. Worth the 10$ I payed for it. February 14, 2008

Classic Chevy Chase

Really funny movie & a must for all true Chevy Chase fans (you know back when he was actually funny)! Not quite as good or funny as Vacation, but still very enjoyable. February 12, 2008

My Favorite Movie

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Very funny and one you will watch again and again. I loaned my copy to someone and they never returned it so I HAD to order another one. December 29, 2007

Chevy Chase

If you liked Money Pit, you will love this one. It is Chevy at his best, I think. One of my favorites. December 26, 2007
