Walter Fielding Jr. is a broken manager, paying the debts of his crooked father (Douglass Watson), who escaped from USA and is living in Brazil. Walter and Anna (Shelley Long, with wonderful legs) live together in the apartment of her former husband, The Maestro, who is in Europe. However, The Maestro comes back unexpectedly. They have to move to a new place, and a friend of Walter advises him to tell a US$ 1,000,000 house in a bargain of US$ 200,000 from an old lady, who needs the money due to an extradition problem with her husband Carlos. They borrow the money and when they start living in their new home, they find out that the house is not exactly what they expected for. Although having a ridiculous beginning, this movie is really funny. The marriage of Walter Fielding Sr. in Rio de Janeiro in a `macumba' may be funny for foreigners. However, this type of marriage indeed does not exist. `Macumba' is a kind of religion for some persons, but it does not have marriage as showed in the movie. Anyway, the rest of the story is so funny, that it is a worthwhile entertainment. My vote is seven.
