Funny Farm (1988)
Wenn Chevy Chase als Sportjournalist aus Manhattan seine Karriere aufgibt und aufs Land zieht, wissen wir natürlich, dass aus dem “Aussteiger” auf jeden Fall ein Einsteiger wird. Stadtflüchtling Andy Farmer in Funny Farm ist “Chases beste Rolle”, wie Siskel & Ebert urteilten. Madolyn Smith spielt Andys stets hilfsbereite Ehefrau – gemeinsam erleben die komischen Farmers, dass sie in der ländlichen Idylle von mehr exzentrischen Nachbarn und verrückten Katastrophen heimgesucht werden als von ewig summenden Mücken. Und dass man nicht mit dem Titel “Mr. Lammbrätling” angeben sollte, bevor man weiß, was er tatsächlich bedeutet.
