In the peaceful neighborhood of Mayfield Place lives suburban Ray Peterson (Tom Hanks) who's planning on taking a well earned vacation with his wife Carol (Carrie Fisher), but instead of going to the family cabin Ray chooses to use all his spare time to spy on his new and strange looking next door neighbors, The Klopek's.
When the neighborhoods least favorite old man suddenly disappears Ray decides to take action along with his mouthy friend Art Weingartner (Rick Ducommun) and with good help from the trigger happy Vet Mark Rumsfield (Bruce Dern) they go to war against the Klopek's family to unveil for the whole world what horror and evil lurks behind the walls of their spooky old house.This somehow "forgotten" horror-comedy where the need to know everything about everyone is done almost to perfection along with a great cast and a Tom Hanks doing one of his best roles ever makes "The 'Burbs" a great 80s classic. "Hey, Mrs. Rumsfield, no tan lines. Looks nice."
