Standout Aspects

Acting

Pryor's escalating panic is physical comedy gold.

Writing

Dana Carvey's unhinged neighbor deserves his own spinoff.

Practical Effects

The house destruction sequence is pre-CGI perfection.

Best for:Friends: Group watch for anyone who's ever hated moving day.·Background: Perfect while packing boxes you swore you'd finish.·Rewatch: Catches new absurdities each viewing, like mold.
Heads up:Language: Pryor's signature profanity, toned down but present.
