THIS ISN'T FUNNY AT ALL............ 6.0 is very nice to give this film Nothing about it is Funny I haven't laughed until I read some of these comments that I totally agree with....It would have been more likable if they went in another direction with him stealing her manuscript. CHEVY CHASE THIS WAS GOD AWFUL. I mean really this is bad I've Seen bad films this is worst than an Adam Sandler film.. Chevy Chase has done some good movies and TV shows this is something I wouldn't watch EVER these Scenes are horrible The dog running away them going into the river Sheriff with no driver License. Them Blaming to the Town.. However My friend is enjoying this I'm a good friend to sit threw this id rather have dental surgery with no Novocain.

The film wonderfully skews the convention of the innocent country rubes moving to the big city and being overwhelmed by its meanness and craziness. Here, it's the cityfolk who move wide-eyed to the country - and are amazed to find there a roll call of crazies, misanthropes, and just plain wierdos. Does this view of country life have any basis in reality? Probably not, but then the film isn't really trying to be a satire but instead a pure lunatic comic fantasy. And it gives us a rich array of supporting characters - from the town sheriff who hasn't yet passed his driving test and so must ride around in cabs, to the owner of an antiques store whose merchandise are all personal. All these characters are priceless, and the film just keeps coming up with more and more of them - until it has created this pleasantly bizarre and warped Otherworld, of a kind that only comedy can truly provide.Best of all is the way in which Chase and Smith react to all of this and try to make some sense of it. I very clearly say "Chase and Smith" because the film belongs equally to both of them. It had to be billed as a Chevy Chase Comedy, of course, since he's the big star here, but this is no star trip; from the very first, the wife is made an equal partner in the trials and the laughs, and it's the way the two go through their new life together that provides much of the comedy. It also helps take the edge off of the usual Chevy Chase persona: in Funny Farm he's neither glib and disinterested (as in the Fletch movies) nor over the top silly (like in the Vacation movies). He comes across instead like a normal, personable guy who just finds himself caught in insane circumstances.Finally, the climactic sequence of the film is absolutely priceless - one of the most brilliantly sustained comic set-pieces you'll see in any movie, of any era. Funny Farm is the type of movie which gives you a great time and leaves you with a big, dopey grin on your face after it's all over. Trust me, even if you don't normally like Chevy Chase, you'll love Funny Farm.

This picture was released on June 3 1988 starring Chevy Chase as Andy Farmer, Madolyn Smith Osborne as Elizabeth farmer, and Kevin O'Morrison as Sheriff Ledbetter. Andy is a big time sports writer in the big city who decides that he's had enough of the city life and wants to move to the country. So Andy and his wife Elizabeth buy a farm in Vermont and they hit the highways to there new home. When they get to the farm they find out that the electric wasn't turn on and they have a pay phone in there house instead of a regular phone. The next thing that goes wrong is the ****** ******* is lost. Finally after everything is figure out Andy starts to write his novel. However, he gets ****** ***** and can't get started. Now a few thoughts on this movie! I'm not a Chevy Chase fan but I became a usage fan of the Lovely Madolyn Smith Osborne. As far as I'm concern she was the one that made this movie worth watching. Therefore, I'm giving the movie 10 weasel stars based on Madolyn and Madolyn only.

Funny Farm has some pretty funny moments with the movers, the crazy mailman, a sheriff that rides in a taxi, yellow dog, the Redbud village people and then there is the beautiful Madolyn Smith... the ambiance of the movie really sets it in the location and makes you believe they are really in that crazy small little town... similar to other fish out of water stories (Green Acres, Mr Blanding Builds His Dream House, etc.) but with the Chevy touch!Then to have it all turn around and the reason they moved out turns out to work for her rather than his... great story!!Chevy at his best... see Funny Farm for all it's intricate little funny story lines that cumulate with Chevy and Madolyn both getting what they want in the end. Redbud is reminiscent of a small town in NC I used to spend my summers while growing up (maybe not that crazy, but it had it's moments)
