This story takes place in a typical American neighborhood, when some new neighbors come to live in the house next to Ray Peterson. These new people are really strange; nobody has ever seen them, their house is a real mess, and during the night you can hear weird noises from their basement. The only thing they know is their name: Klopeks. One day Walter (an old man of the neighborhood) suddenly disappears and everyone starts to suspect the Klopeks...Written by

The Klopeks named their Great Dane "Landru", probably after Henri Landru, a notorious French serial killer, or the Overlord in Star Trek (1966) {The Return of the Archons (#1.21) (1967). See more »

Quotes
Mark Rumsfield:
[Ray takes Walter's toupee out of his shorts]
Are you implying that you've been carrying that around in your shorts all day?
Ray Peterson:
After you left Walter's house yesterday, I slipped this back in, through the mail slot.
Art Wiengartner:
Well, where'd you get this then?

What a film to escape into! This movie captures my childhood and is still watchable today.
The director/writer has paid close attention to human interaction for this movie. I love Tom Hanks's one-liners or slight facial movements, both speak volumes in a scene.
Unjustified credit for this classic comedy. I would recommend this film to anyone. Some regard this as a silly film, but i don't think that comment degrades it in anyway. I like silly films, something where actors egos don't get in the way of the story. We're all here for a laugh for 1-2 hours so entertain us, we say. And this film delivers gags, and visual comedy time after time.
I love the scene showing the guys as if they're kids in a street.
I love this movie and have recently purchase the Soundtrack off ebay.
I can watch this movie over and over again. Mrs Rumsfield is still as sexy when you watch it now.
Classic quote Mrs Peterson - "He will not come out until he resembles that man that i married." Art Weingartner - "We don't have that kinda time !"
