The 'Burbs [Blu-ray] in Bloomington, MN

Ward and June Cleaver have nothing on suburban couple
Tom Hanks
and
Carrie Fisher
. Together with their perfect son, Hanks and Fisher are so clean that they squeak. Thus, when new neighbors
Henry Gibson
,
Brother Theodore
Courtney Gains
begin evincing bizarre behavior, Hanks is slightly put out. Fisher thinks that Hanks is getting all worked up over nothing. After Hanks and his fellow suburbanites have endured all sorts of slapstick misadventures in the vain hope of getting "the goods" on the newcomers, we're inclined to agree with Fisher. Please note, however, that
The 'Burbs
is directed by
Joe Dante
, the same man who brought you
Gremlins
. It ain't over until the fat lady sings-and what matter if that fat lady is skinny Tom Hanks?
