I recently rewatched Moving (1988) on Tubi. The storyline follows a man in the city who loses his job and financial stability, only to be offered his dream job with a substantial raise-there's just one catch, he has to move to Idaho with all expenses covered. He decides to take the job, setting the stage for a comedic adventure.
Directed by Alan Metter (Back to School), the film stars Richard Pryor (Harlem Nights), Beverly Todd (Lean on Me), Stacey Dash (Clueless), Raphael Harris (Scrooged), and Randy Quaid (National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation).
This classic 80s comedy thrives on over-the-top circumstances, situations, and character reactions, reminiscent of a National Lampoon's movie. Richard Pryor delivers a solid performance, setting himself up for disaster in a way that keeps you eagerly anticipating the unfolding chaos. Randy Quaid's performance is exceptional and reminiscent of his National Lampoon's performance. The karate scenes with Pryor are hilarious, the kitchen table announcement and swear jar sequence are legendary, and the house selling scenes and movers' antics are entertaining. Even the soundtrack adds to the film's overall charm.
In conclusion, Moving is an underrated 80s comedy that is an absolute must-see. I'd give it a score of 7/10 and strongly recommend it.
