"Ramona and I haven't eaten all day. We could eat a baby's butt through a park bench."– Vic

Why watch this? It's oddly bizarre, but that is exactly why I love it so much.

Plot Summary: Earl Keese is a quiet suburban man whose monotonous life is upended when a bizarre, chaotic couple, Vic and Ramona, moves in next door. Vic and Ramona immediately impose themselves on Earl and his family, with Earl becoming increasingly overwhelmed by Vic's outlandish behavior and Ramona's flirtations. As a series of increasingly absurd and frustrating events unfold, Earl starts to question his own sanity and the foundations of his seemingly tranquil existence.

Dad's Preview: This satirical comedy looks at what happens when Earl Keese's comfortable, yet urbane, suburban existence is disrupted by sheer chaos. The disruption comes in the form of new neighbors, who seem hell-bent on ruining Earl's marriage, sanity and life. It is a nice change of pace for John Belusi to take on a role as the shy, reserved man. As neighbors Vic and Ramona concoct prank after prank, we wonder if Earl is going to crack. He does of course, and that's when things get really crazy. This is a wild ride, but well worth it.
