Funny Farm (George Roy Hill, 1988)

I officially apologize to Leonard Maltin because I thought he gave Funny Farm ***1/2 in his movie guide. In fact, it received only **1/2 and good, because I couldn't imagine anyone giving this thing even that many stars. Lawd, this was a slooooog. I didn't laugh once but a few cat naps were taken. And there's a venal anti-city bent running throughout, particularly irksome in 2020 when so many rich folks are abandoning New York City for the "safety" of the greener climes of Connecticut and Vermont. Y'all don't come back now, ya hear?
