Surprisingly funny

With the exception of a couple of remarkably clumsy moments, 'Funny Farm' maintains a delightfully sweet, goofy level of humor. (Blu-ray Double Feature Edition)

One of Chase's better vehicles (although that may be damning with faint praise)

Not to bad for a Chase comedy. Love those lamb fries.

Middling star vehicle that wastes its director's talents.

Lightweight and fluffy, but Chase is surprisingly kinda charming!

Audience Reviews for Funny Farm

An hilarious movie about a writer who moves out to the country to get some peace and quiet so he can write, but finds it's not that easy. Chase is fantastic in this movie, I really enjoyed it.

It's considered an 80's classic, but it's not quiet as memorable.
