For Richer or Poorer is a (1997) comedy film starring Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley. It is rated PG-13 for some sexual innuendo and one use of strong language.
[edit] Plot
Millionaire socialite couple Brad and Caroline Sexton are miserable and have decided to call it quits. At the same time, Brad's accountant, Bob, is up to his own tricks, making the Sextons' millions disappear into his own pocket mostly through mismanagement and filing false tax returns.
IRS Inspector Derek Lester loves his job and goes non-stop. His assignment: the Sextons.
The Sextons end up on the run from the police for tax fraud and find themselves hiding in a small Pennsylvannia community of Old Order Amish. While there, they learn to fit in and rediscover why they fell in love in the first place.
