Editorial Review:
Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley are New York scammers on the lam from the IRS--they got framed by their slimy accountant, Wayne Knight of Seinfeld--so they hide out as fake Amish farmers in Intercourse, Pennsylvania. As parodies of Witness go, For Richer or Poorer can't compete with the Woody Harrelson-Bill Murray flick Kingpin, by the creators of Dumb & Dumber. Allen and Alley are directed by the creator of McHale's Navy. But wait, come back! The true test of talent is a capacity to romp right through weak material, and while this story is hopelessly lame and formulaic, Allen and Alley are credible candidates for the clown prince and princess of broad TV comedy. When somebody wonders how come alleged Amish guy Tim Allen has no beard, Kirstie says, "Lice." Of course, his face has no lice on it either, so Kirstie adds, "Minute lice!" --Tim Appelo
For Richer or Poorer - DTS Reviews:
Love this movie! 
2009-12-16 - Tim Allen is still funny and Kirstie Alley is still beautiful, but this movie was made during their heyday. Even though their characters practically hate each other at the beginning, out of necessity, they stick together and eventually try to make their marriage work again. The only drawback is some strong language, but otherwise the older kids could watch this with you.
For Richer or Poorer
2009-11-30 - This is one of my husband's favorite movies. We have been looking for this dvd for a while now. I should have known to go to amazon! It arrived on time and in perfect condition.
A good oldie
2009-10-16 - I loved the movie when I watched it years ago. My daughter reminded me of it and we tried at all the video stores to hire it without luck...that's why I bought it.
It is about a marriage on the rocks and is funny in places with the couple learning to fall inlove again. You won't be disappointed with the ending. I can't remember any swearing in it and think it is a basically clean movie.

2009-09-14 - I love this movie its something you can watch on a rainy day and actually feel like your in the movie. Total chick flick
A Family Favorite
2009-09-12 - Wonderful story line that draws in the viewer and holds his attention until the very end. The busy business partnership that became the foundation of the main characters' marriage (Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley) proved inadequate when the money disappeared and they became fugitives from justice. Divorce was imminent but it would have to wait until they sorted out their situation--amid the Amish (where they "landed" in flight from the FBI).
As the story line evolves there are changes in the characters' hearts. Conflict resolution comes from the salve that is the simplicity of the Amish way of life.
Gorgeous scenery and colorful characters round out this upbeat comedy. It is one to own and view over and over with those you love.
