In quest of a wholesome place to live: at first the Webbers laugh at their neighbors when they leave L.A. for the mountains of Oregon. But when they recognize the same symptoms in their family that made the neighbors leave, they follow them. However their new domicile is a bit more apart from the civilization than expected.

Interesting facts

Packin' It In is a 1983 American made-for-television comedy-drama film starring Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss.

Production

Benjamin made it just after making his feature film debut as director, My Favorite Year. Although set in Oregon, the film was shot in Vancouver.

Benjamin and Prentiss brought their two children along on location. "That was great and there was just a nice family feeling," Benjamin said. "Paula and I have been married for 22 years. I was in a movie a few years ago called The Last Married Couple in America and now we are - at least we're one of the last in show business, anyway. We're real close and we like to work together.
