The Money Pit Ratings & Reviews
- nairnmonster16 March 2026I have a collection called "Movies that defined my childhood" and this is firmly there. Yeah, if you want to talk negatively about the movie there is plenty to aim at. However, a movie from the 80's with a great cast and simple story line is perfection. Relax and enjoy it!
- Gerard27 December 2025Always nice to go back to this film every 5 years. Classic 80’s comedy
- mickerdoo22 September 2025Really thin idea but Hanks and the construction crew make it enjoyable enough.
- Nick Banas13 August 2025Tom Hanks does his best, but unfortunately the joke of this is beat to death in the first 20 minutes of the film. Could have been better as a 30 minute short, but instead, they rammed this thing into the ground for another hour past that. Money pit? More like time suck.
