Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

FlashCallahan Trying to get his career into the A-list, Damon Wayans gets a job in a credit card company. He falls in love with Stacy Dash, winning her over by mocking her well educated, successful boyfriendWhen he steals a couple of cards, the chief of security drags him into the big leagues of criminals....Blimey, how someone's opinion of film can change in twenty years. When this was first released, it was one of my all time favourites, but I was only fifteen, and I thought Wayans was excellent in The Last Boy Scout, and this looked like fun.Now even though the film is still fun, that's all it is, fun, and it's devoid of any proper narrative until halfway through the second act. Up until then it's just the Marlon and Damon comedy laugh in, as it just feels like a string of sketches (albeit amusing ones) leading up to the plot.So the first forty five minutes is a sketch show,the last forty five an action movie, with a few dabs of romance, and some very, very, baggy clothes involved.The toe leads are fun and keep the film together, Stacy Dash is beautiful but cannot act for a bean, and Diehl is your atypical nineties bad guy.But the moral of the story is, its fun to steal, spend others money, and get in trouble. Oh, and to steal a dead persons flowers.But it's still a fun movie.

oneguyrambling Mo' Money is lightweight and disposable, but if nothing else it does show that Damon Wayans was, at one point in his career at least, funny. Were it not for The Last Boy Scout this would be far and away his most watchable film.Strangely enough the filmmakers decided to build a comedy around a plot which at its core is a crime film. Naughty white guys have started a scam involving pre-approved credit cards issued to deceased customers (dead men tell no tales), and running up expensive tabs buying items to be resold at lower prices.Damon and his little brother Marlon (who is now in every second crappy comedy made) are John and Seymour, two small time scammers whose lives revolve around the pursuit of cash, as long as it doesn't involve real work.As Seymour says not once but twice to painful effect in the film "A job ain't nothing' but work." When John comes across a young woman for whom he harbours amorous intent, his pursuit takes him to the offices of a large corporation, where he decides the best way to further his courting process is to take a menial job as a mailroom assistant in the same building.To complete the tenuous plot connections the brothers are somewhat "mentored" by Walsh, the ex-partner of their deceased policeman father who coincidentally happens to be investigating the credit card scam, which happens to be going on in the new firm John just got the job with.Phew...Long story short, John gets involved over his head in the credit card scam and must find a way to extricate himself without further drama or police intervention, whilst at the same time allowing him to pick up (and later keep hold of) his love interest named Amber, who it must be said is a terrible actress who is given some painfully forced dialogue.But Mo' Money has precious little to do with the plot, it is a chance for the two Wayans to try on different personas in a series of scenes which are basically skits that serve only to cause amusement and do the bare minimum to justify the next scene, where they can do the same thing only different.Being an early 90s film and being that Wayans is a hip black guy he gets to wear a whole range of increasingly stupid looking hats (all of which are supposed to be cool by the way), and a garish collection of "urban executive" wear, which I guess were all fashionable at the time.The humour is largely based upon the larger than life characters in the film, many of them created by John as he runs his various scams early on, but some of them in the various bit parts that populate the rest of the cast. There are numerous throwaway lines and scenes-within a scene that try to scatter jokes throughout with about a 50/50 success rate, and keeping with that ratio thankfully the bonehead lines (and there are a few) are equally offset by some really good moments.Given that the PC craze was only just gaining steam in the early 90s there are a few thinly veiled race-related jokes that fall flat in today's environment, not so much because they are racially based but because they just aren't that funny to begin with.It seems that the only three "straight" people in the film that are not caricatures for comedy's sake are Amber, Detective Walsh and the bad guy...Now I considered it odd that a light comedy would even bother with the intrusion of a criminal sub-plot, especially one that justifies the murders that happen in the film, but if you are to have a bad guy, at least make him menacing, this is where Mo' Money definitely succeeds.The bad guy Harry Lennix, the head of security in the credit card firm, keeps things low key and doesn't resort to overacting his way through his scenes like the remainder of the cast. You are always guessing at what he might do next, especially as you know he is capable of acts of violence from early in the film, and you are just waiting for him to snap and do something.When he finally does it isn't his fault that the finale seems totally out of place in an 80′s flashback over the top sort of way, but the film had to end somehow, and turning Wayan's character into an instant quasi Bruce Willis must have seemed like a good idea at the time.Despite the dated elements of Mo' Money, and the fact that the crime elements seemed forced into what should have been a fluffy personality driven comedy I still liked Mo' Money.Final Rating - 6 / 10. Inoffensive, amusing at times and thankfully pretty brief. Mo' Money also harks back to a time when a Wayans could actually cause me to crack a smile, (Scary Movie, White Chicks etc killed that...).If you liked this review (or even if you didn't) check out oneguyrambling.com

bree thompson Mo' Money is so funny. I can watch this movie over and over again. The script is kinda dry, but overall its still a great movie. My favorite part is when they are in the convenient store and Jhonny acts all crazy. The store owner is so funny. He really played his part. I also liked when Jhonny told this guy who tried to use the pay phone to shave the "crust stache" off of his lip. Rev. Pimp daddy is a trip. I like when he goes " I rest my soooouul" at the end of his opening statement. The judge made me laugh when he told him to get out of his court room before he put him away. Another good part was towards the end of the movie when the nurse yelled "now get out of my face" to cornbread.

adamzad Several years ago, I had a roommate whom I will call "Pat" to protect the not-so-innocent. He had a history of selecting the WORST movies. Schlock like Blue Velvet, Naked Lunch, and Wild At Heart. Mo' Money was another one of "Pat's Picks." It's a waste of good celluloid. I've seen detergents leave better film.The writing was sophomoric. The acting was weak. The "humor" was juvenile. A 12 year old would find this movie funny, but no one over the age of 14 could think it anything short of an insult.It might be worth the price of a rental for one reason and one reason only: Stacey Dash. I would turn down the sound and just enjoy that glorious smile, but then I'd miss her incredible voice. A little surgical clipping is in order. Blessed be the "mute" button.Beyond that, don't waste your time or money. If, like myself, you want to see Stacey, look for her in other movies... Renaissance Man, for example... Heck, even Illegal In Blue had some redeeming aspects that are conspicuously lacking in Mo' Money.
