MadHouse (1990)

In the comedic whirlwind of MadHouse (1990), we follow the tumultuous lives of Mark, a determined stockbroker, and his broadcaster wife Jessie Bannister. This ambitious couple, teetering on the edge of financial desperation, has just planted roots in their own home. But the universe has a twisted sense of humor, and their dream of domestic bliss is shattered when their mailbox delivers ominous news - Mark's cousin Fred and his wife Bernice are coming for an extended stay. Once a whirlwind of wild energy, Fred is now a shell of a man, jobless and reduced to a mere puppet by his domineering wife. Their arrival is further complicated when a pregnant Bernice suffers an accident, confining her to bed rest for the remaining six months of her pregnancy. Just as Mark and Jessie are adjusting to this domestic chaos, Jessie's gold-digging sister Claudia and her son Jonathan come knocking, seeking refuge. To add to the fray, their next-door neighbors, fleeing from their own domestic disasters, seek sanctuary at the Bannisters' abode. Amid this chaotic symphony of familial dysfunction, Mark grapples with landing a deal with a multimillionaire client that could be their saving grace, while Jessie teeters on the precipice of her major breakthrough in her TV career. But can they navigate this maddening maze of unwelcome guests, a resurrecting cat, and a stubbornly temperamental toilet, all without losing their sanity or resorting to dire measures? In a house brimming with oddball relatives, eccentric neighbors, and mounting work pressures, the Bannisters' dream home transforms into a madhouse. Can Mark and Jessie reclaim their tranquil abode, and can they do so without resorting to murder? The Bannisters' struggle to keep their home and dreams afloat amidst the chaos is a comedy of errors that promises laughter, surprises, and a wild ride into the realm of domestic madness.
