				"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.
