Storyline
When Paul and Sandy Darden (Judge Reinhold and Demi Moore) move into a seemingly quiet upper-middle-class community, their American Dream is all but destroyed by the incessant din of barking dogs. So from valium-laced raw steaks to more hilarious methods of pet disposal, the Dardens try everything to make their dream house a quiet home.
