Earl Keese is a middle-aged suburbanite whose life is dull and uneventful, and that's just the way he likes it, though his wife, Enid, isn't quite so happy. Earl soon learns that a new couple has just moved into the house next door, loudly leisure-suited Vic and sexy Ramona. Earl is at once thrilled and terrified when Ramona unexpectedly attempts to seduce him, and he is quite puzzled when Vic and Ramona stop by for dinner the following evening and Ramona angrily accuses Earl of trying to take advantage of her. After an argument, Vic offers to make peace by buying dinner from a take-out restaurant. When Earl spies Vic cooking the meal in his kitchen a few minutes later, he realizes that his new neighbors are playing some sort of game with him, though he's not sure what or why.

Normally, I would consider actors like John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as peak entertainers. But that is not the case here. Not only did Aykroyd’s character of the blonde moronic mannequin seem quite annoying to me, I was also upset by the wishy-washy dad John Belushi, who lives his absolutely boring life with a glass of wine, a loud-mouthed kid and a wife who has been living in the next room for a few years now, drinking wine that’s twice as good as his. There were some good moments, but I just didn’t enjoy the result. And it’s a shame, because I certainly didn’t expect it. I would immediately raise the movie’s rating, if only I could.
