There Goes the Neighborhood
A Hot Comedy About Cold Cash.
Directed by Bill Phillips
Produced by Paramount Pictures, Kings Road Entertainment
A lighthearted screwball comedy romp through suburban New Jersey where multiple parties chase buried loot, driven by comedic chaos and genre-spoofing rather than genuine threat or depth.
A dying prisoner whispers the location of his loot to the facility's psychologist, who heads to the New Jersey suburbs to find it. Two prisoners overhear the plan and escape to get the millions for themselves. Who will get the money?
