Funny Farm (1988): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming
1988 · Film · ★ 6.1
Released in 1988, Funny Farm is a komödie film directed by George Roy Hill, running about 101 minutes. “Chevy Chase finds life in the country isn't what it's cracked up to be!” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. 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.
Who’s in it. Funny Farm stars Chevy Chase as Andy Farmer, Madolyn Smith Osborne as Elizabeth Farmer, Kevin O'Morrison as Sheriff Ledbetter and Joseph Maher as Michael Sinclair, among others.
