There Goes the Neighborhood

About This Movie

There Goes the Neighborhood is one of those quirky early '90s flicks that blends comedy with crime and just a dash of romance. The plot kicks off with a dying prisoner spilling the beans to his psychologist about buried treasure, and from there, it’s a wild ride. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it kind of works in its favor—it builds tension and humor in unexpected ways. The suburban setting feels almost satirical, contrasting the chaos that ensues as two other prisoners plot their escape. It has a certain charm, with practical effects that add a nice touch. Performances are a mixed bag, but there’s something genuine about the characters' desperation. Overall, it's a fun little trip that shines a light on greed and absurdity.
