Harriet Deltubbo If you're a film collector, there are always a few films from your childhood you've been looking for for years. MO' MONEY was the last on my bucket list. It just became available at Blockbuster. I hadn't known the name of the film or its stars. Fortunately, I found it listed in the Forgotten Comedies book and would occasionally search for it on the net. The film is a cheap one that rises above these restrictions to produce a nice comedy. The major players are excellent. The comedy elements are unfortunate as they usually are in films like these, but I never forgot the Wayans sightings. Overall, I give it seven out of ten stars.

david-sarkies I hired this because a friend of mine said that it was good, but also because Damon Wayans was in it and I find him to be a pretty good actor. This is a cool little movie, but really only good the first time one watches it. There are some funny things in it, but they are not hugely hilarious to label it a cult movie.Basically this film is about a con-artist whose dad was a cop who was killed in the line of duty. As such he has given up on trying to be anything and lives his life trying to make "mo money" from conning people. He has a partner who looks up to him. After a rather clever con-job, he is caught out and manages to escape only to be caught by a transit cop. The judge dismisses the charges because his lawyer is awful (basically he raves on about the injustice of the system in a Negro evangelist sort of way) and thus he takes this final change to try and go straight.While selling books, be meets a rather nice lady, and applies for a job where she works, being a credit card firm. It lands up that the security consultant is using the cards to purchase some really expensive things, and as the owners of the cards are dead, the company gets billed. The guy tries his hand at the fraud at first, but when he is caught, he is blackmailed into joining this gang.I really can't think of anything in-depth about the movie with the exception that it has the idea that once you are a criminal, it is very difficult to escape your past. As they say, old habits die hard. He is tempted and falls for it, but moreso, the bad guy uses his past as a lever for blackmail to force him to continue. Thus we see that even though he is struggling to go straight, he is not.Really, there isn't much to comment about this movie anyway. In the end it is a standard action/comedy which doesn't really stand out that much. I enjoyed it, but it lacks any deep meaning, or simple plain fun, that elevates others movies above it.

Brad_Nugget I was only 9 years old when the epic "Mo' Money" was released in theaters. Despite only staying in theaters for approximately 3 hours, I knew it was a movie that would stay in my heart for...more hours. Like 3+.When Damon Wayans said, "Mo' Money, Mo' Money, Mo' Money," the world stopped turning; if only for a brief moment. All was good in the world, and life itself seemed brighter than ever.If there was ever a second coming of Christ, Damon Wayans was his name. Thank you, Damon. You will always been my love.

lasherxl This is one of those movies where you are wondering what Hollywood executive read over this project and said, "Yeah, this is a sure hit, it'll make us millions..". It tried so hard to be funny, but all in all it really tried too hard. It was like that old uncle everyone has that tries to tell jokes on Thanksgiving and Christmas, and he's laughing away, while the rest of us are rolling our eyes and wondering when dessert will be ready. It's really a shame this wasn't a better movie, Damon Wayans did some funny stuff in IN LIVING COLOUR.Oh well, I guess they can't all be big hits...
