ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

John Thompson I wish they could make movies even half as funny as Easy Money today. unfortunately they can not due to lack of creativity, the Hollywood agenda and political correctness. Fortunately there are great older movies like this, foreign films, 250 years of books and good friends.

Prismark10 Rodney Dangerfield made his name in low brow slobbish roles. In Easy Money he plays Monty Capuletti, a kids photographer in New York. He is a working class guy who likes to eat junk food, drink, visit strip clubs, smoking dope and gamble with his friends which includes Joe Pesci and Tom Noonan.His mother in law, Geraldine Fitzgerald is actually a wealthy woman who owns a high end department store and she hates Monty with a passion. When she dies, she stipulates in her will that if Monty is able to give up his vices for a year, by eating good food, giving up drugs and gambling, he will receive $10 million. If he cannot, his family will get nothing and her scheming nephew Jeffrey Jones will inherit everything.The film is a bit hit and miss but is sporadically amusing. It feels rather underpowered maybe because you feel both Pesci and Noonan are underused. The film has a good theme song by Billy Joel.The subplot of Monty's daughter marrying a Puerto Rican and then is reluctant to loser her virginity to him comes across as clunky. Still Dangerfield reduxed the bare bones of the story a few years later and called it Back to School.

intelearts While this is what it is, gags galore, low-brow, and funny stuff, Easy Money never quite hits the best of Dangerfield.Too many gaps between the one liners and some situations are just fillers, but otherwise all in all watchable and enjoyable.The plot is a good one, very very rich mother-in-law dies leaving all her money to the booze hound Dangerfield on the condition he straightens and flies right for a whole year. I just wish they could have got to the main plot sooner.Kind of like Brewster's Millions there are chuckles to be had, and anyway it's Rodney so you know what you're getting.All in all, an OK pizza and beer movie; nothing challenging, but nothing side-splitting either...

MartinHafer I am not a huge fan of this film, but I've got to admit that it will most likely make you laugh. It's extremely low-brow and has a lot of cheap laughs, but sometimes a movie like this is exactly what you might need. In other words, nothing deep or requiring your full attention--just a silly movie. To me, this movie is nearly as funny as Dangerfield's follow-up film, BACK TO SCHOOL and both are fun time-passers.The plot, such as it is, is really just an excuse to watch Rodney tell a lot of dopey jokes and get in stupid situations. He is ably assisted by a pre-mafia days Joe Pesci--an amiable friend who tries to keep Rodney from losing the money left to him by his battleaxe mother-in-law in her will--provided he STOP drinking, gambling and lose weight. The end is particularly satisfying and it's a fun romp.
