Action Comedy Drama

A simple-minded gardener named Chance has spent all his life in the Washington D.C. house of an old man. When the man dies, Chance is put out on the street with no knowledge of the world except what he has learned from television. After a run in with a limousine, he ends up a guest of a woman (Eve) and her husband Ben, an influential but sickly businessman. Now called Chauncey Gardner, Chance becomes friend and confidante to Ben, and an unlikely political insider.

I never cared for either the book or the movie of "Being There," as they seem heavy-handed to me. Peter Seller's strong identification with the role of Chauncy Gardner is more interesting than the role itself. - @Tuesday, July 31, 2018 6:44 PM

One of the worst, brain dead films I've ever seen. - @Friday, March 30, 2018 12:26 PM

I think the audience appreciated the blooper. The Oscars can get bent. It's about US, the audience, not self-aggrandizing over payed narcissists. Given we are entering the season of sociopaths seeking office again (2016), this movie is worth a visit. - @Monday, January 25, 2016 7:43 PM

The cheap shots at Republicans and conservatives wore out their welcome a long time ago, Alan. That's not the reason I watch these videos, but it might be a reason for me to stop watching yours and Landis's. - @Friday, October 17, 2014 10:51 PM

Jeez! Enough with the Dick Cheney slams ! We all know by now Hollywood Hates Republicans so much that the reviewer would rather see Cheney dead and bunch of beheading savages rule the world. - @Thursday, September 11, 2014 7:52 PM
