Itching to be his own boss, he tries again by buying a home to fix up as a bar with an upstairs apartment for him and his wife. Unfortunately, the Irish couple in the upstairs apartment won't move, and due to some loopholes in the renters' laws, don't have to move. Initially footing Mary's bill to soothe his conscience for evicting her, Buddy finds that this woman is one of the few people in his life that listens to him. Their friendship deepens until, well, let's just say that a certain Italian wife gets a little suspicious about where her husband spends his nights. With all the Dean Martin-like crooning, fedora hats and poofy dresses, Two Family House has the feel of a fairy tale.
Buddy is a little too goofy and a little too sweetly good-natured.
Estelle is a little too awful. Mary is a little too brave. Two Family House has just enough reality to keep this sweet story from turning saccharine. All rights reserved.
