Moving

In New Jersey, mass transportation engineer Arlo Pear finds himself without a job after a heated argument with his boss. This incident marks the beginning of a significant change in his family's life as they prepare for a major move.

After losing his job, Arlo interviews with a new engineering firm, G.T.I. Transits. There, he is offered the position of head of Research and Development for a new monorail project in Boise, Idaho, which sparks hope for his future.

Returning home, Arlo shares the news of his job offer with his wife Monica and their three children. However, the family is resistant to the idea of relocating to Boise, especially due to their fear of their overbearing neighbor, Frank Crawford.

Arlo and Monica decide to put their house up for sale, hoping for a quick offer. Their daughter Casey tries various antics to sabotage the sale, driven by her desire to stay close to her boyfriend Kevin.

Despite Casey's attempts, the house is sold, and the family prepares for their move to Boise. This development marks a turning point for the family, as they now have to adapt to the idea of leaving their home.

Once in Boise, Arlo and Monica meet with the Cadills to find a new home. They are initially taken by the property but are stunned to learn that Mr. Cadill plans to take the windows, doors, and pool with him.

While searching for a moving company, Arlo interviews movers Edwards and Perry, but their suspicious demeanor leads him to choose a different company. He also hires Brad to transport his beloved Saab sports car to Boise.

Arlo and Monica receive a shocking call from their neighbors, the Butterworths, who reveal that Casey is planning to get married to avoid moving. To their surprise, she is at the chapel with a boy named Rudy, not Kevin.

On the day of the move, Arlo is taken aback when he sees the truck arrive with movers Edwards and Perry. Complications arise as Brad takes off with Arlo's car, heightening the stress of the day.

As the Pear family departs for Boise, they stop at a diner where the twins inform Arlo about Brad's history with multiple personalities. This adds to the sense of chaos surrounding their transition.

When the Pears arrive at their new house in Boise, they are horrified to discover the home stripped of its fixtures. Arlo's anger leads him to confront Mr. Cadill to retrieve their belongings.

Arlo is jolted awake by the sound of a lawnmower in the morning, only to find that Frank Crawford's twin brother, Cornell, is their new neighbor. This encounter adds to Arlo's anxiety about their new life.

On his first day at G.T.I. Transits, Arlo learns that the highly anticipated monorail project has been canceled due to budget issues. He pleads with Marcus to reconsider, but ultimately, he is let go.

Feeling defeated, Arlo takes matters into his own hands by purchasing firearms and commandeering the moving van from Edwards and Perry. This desperate act signifies his determination to reclaim his family's belongings.

After unloading their belongings, Arlo is pleasantly surprised to find that Casey missed her family and decided to join them in Boise. The family comes together in their new home, signaling a moment of relief and unity.
