FOR RICHER OR POORER

Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley play rich city couple pretending to be Amish farmers.

Directed in 1997 by Bryan Spicer, For Richer or Poorer is about a rich city couple on the verge of divorce who pretend to be Amish farmers to hide out from a trigger-happy IRS agent on their tail.

This fish-out-of-water spoof of Witness stars TV stars Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley as Brad and Caroline Sexton, a rich Manhattan couple who are about to get divorced. However, their marital woes take a backseat when they discover that their accountant has embezzled their money and cooked their tax returns. With an overzealous IRS agent on their tail, they flee New York until their lawyer can sort it all out – and end up in a conservative Amish community. How will the spoiled and lazy Sextons cope?!

For Richer or Poorer can be seen on M-Net Stars (Channel 105).on March 24 at 19h30.
