For Richer or Poorer

(Universal)

Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley play a couple of New York socialites for whom the good life has turned spectacularly bad. Their marriage on the skids and a demented IRS agent on their tail, the pair run for the hills, winding up in an Amish community. For all the movie's what-a-silly-beard sight gags, stock incongruities (hear the Amish child say, "You go, girl"), and spoon-served values, Allen and Alley bring easy charm and lightweight pathos to their roles.
