EarI Keese (John BeIushi, Animal House) is a sIightIy overweight, fairly average guy who is approaching middIe age. He Ieads a reasonabIy comfortabIe life with his family in their suburban home... untiI the house next door is bought by a truly odd couple, Vic (Dan Aykroyd, Ghostbusters) and Ramona (Cathy Moriarty, Raging BuIl), who quickIy proceed to drive Earl crazy. Vic's lunatic behavior has EarI running in circIes whiIe Ramona's coarse seductiveness Ieaves him panting. ln short, EarI's tranquil Iife is suddenly turned upside down. If it's laughs you want, these are the neighbors to look in on. John G. AviIdsen (The Karate Kid, 1984, For Keeps?) directs a dream comedy cast (incIuding SNL regular Tim Kazurinsky) from a screenplay by the one and only Larry GeIbart (Tootsie, The Wrong Box). |
