The Money Pit (1986)
re:montana19boy
This movie is at best OK. Tom Hanks, at the time, IMO, was taking anything that he could, Shelly Long was trying to capitalize on her Cheers role. This movie is not all that bad. I think if he had a choice, after Sleepless in Seattle etc., TH would have turned this flick down. It is not terrible, but it clearly is not his best work. If you catch it on cable on a Sunday morning, or whenever one of the cable channels decides to show it, it is worth watching. I do not think that it is worth going out of your way to see however. IMO TH is still green in this flick but still relatively fun to watch.If you are a Hanks fan then by all means watch this, it is not a complete disappointment
The Juror (1996)
Already been done
I enjoyed this movie even though it was done two years prior with Joanne Whalley, Armand Asante and William Hurt. Slightly different plot twists, but all in all the same movie. I enjoyed both, depending on the day of the week it's a toss-up between Demi and JoAnne. I tend to lean towards Armand Asante over Alec Baldwin as the mob boss, however both do good jobs in their respective roles. Supporting cast I believe goes to Trial By Jury especially since Gabriel Byrne and William Hurt are part of it. Seems to me that TBJ is slightly more believable as far as the story goes. I do like the Alec Baldwin-Demi Moore version, however I think they capitalized on the fact that this movie was not noticed on a wide basis and jumped in to make a movie with the same premise
