4.0 out of 5 stars A little short but definitely worth it, May 20, 2004
This review is from: Grass Is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank (VHS Tape)
For the price that you can get for this movie I would definitely check it out. Carol Burnett is at her beautiful best as Dorothy Benson, housewife and want-to-be-writer who moves her strangely normal family to the suburbs of New York. Of course she gets to meet all of the neighbors, deal with her hubby (Charles Grodin) who's obsessed with the lawn (thus the name of the movie), her kids' crazy schedules, and her friends who use her as a sacrifice for cookie sales and parties. Different but sweet anybody who likes the brilliant Burnett has to check into "The Grass Is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank." For the $5.00, it's worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A ROMP IN THE SUBURBS, March 5, 2009

This review is from: Grass Is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank (VHS Tape)
A hilarious look at how a family can get into so many problems after moving from the city to the suburbs after the man of the house is mugged. We have children who never do take care of the huge dog they begged their mother to let them keep, a housewife who wants to become a famous mystery writer, a husband who stays late at the office and sometimes only comes home on weekends, and when he is home,is so obsessed with the lawn he has little time for his wife, and a possible liaison between the wife and the coach of her son's baseball team. The acting was pretty good, though I thought Grodin was a bit bland in his delivery of lines. To see the actress who played JR Ewing's wife on Dallas was interesting. Underneath the comedy was the knowing this family would pull itself together in the end, but it was nice to watch. Not so nice to watch the huge backhoe dig up that beautiful lawn in search of the sewer that had been improperly installed. Great fun to watch even if it is not released on DVD.
