Ray Peterson (Tom Hanks) would like nothing better than to spend a quiet week's vacation in his suburban home, drinking beer and watching TV. But, spurred on by his two friends' spinning of boyish paranoid fantasies about their reclusive neighbors, the Klopeks, the usually down-to-earth Ray begins to suspect his idyllic neighborhood has been invaded by an evil force, to the point where he and his friends become psychotically nosey. You see where this is going, and you see it from a mile off. Only the general surface-thin plot is somewhat offset by director Joe Dante's fine sense of the absurd, and a host of engagingly played neighbor-types, namely Rick Ducommun as Ray's best friend who's always proposing bad ideas, and Bruce Dern as a sometimes wild-eyed ex-vet who'd love some action. Dante and crew seem to have a knack for keeping these broad characterizations light enough that you don't mind their superficiality. But the best jokes in this unprepossessing film come from composer Jerry Goldsmith's score; Bruce Dern's presence, for instance, is announced by the theme from Patton, and the boys' first approach to the Klopeks' for a meet-and-greet is buttressed by classic strains from Sergio Leone spaghetti Westerns. Kudos to the Klopeks, for their evil ways are ably embodied by Henry Gibson, Courtney Gains, and Brother Theodore. In particular, any suburb that finds it's inhabited by the likes of Brother Theodore is in dire need of new zoning laws. But Carrie Fisher's role as Ray's amiably long-suffering wife is thankless, and she deserves better. --Jim Gay

Would you like to know what your neighbors really do in their spare time? Well, The Burbs may not be completely truthful, but it is hilarious to watch. Here's a dark comedy that pokes fun at suburbia and the people who live in it. It may not be laugh-out-loud funny, but it's funny nonetheless. The acting ensemble is first-rate: Hanks, Fisher, Ducommun, Dern, and Feldman played their parts perfectly. The silly horror gimmicks never get tiring after repeated viewings. This is one of director Joe Dante's ... Read More

The tape was like new, exactly as described and came within a few days of order placement. It was for my sister-in-law who is in a nursing home with a brain tumor. All she has to look forward to every day is watching a movie on her VCR. The Burbs is her favorite movie. It makes us feel good to see her laugh. Thank you!

This is a classic! Tom Hanks in what I would have to say is by far my favorite role of his tied with Money Pit. Any way total classic, a new family moves in to a suburban culdesac, and they are pretty strange, or are they? Well, three neighborhood spies Ray, Art, and Rumsfield are determined to find out, especially after a local on their block, Walter disappears. You will lol every time you see it, no matter how many times that is, I have seen well over hundreds of times, and could probably recite the ... Read More
