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.

If you've seen any Rodney Dangerfield movie, then you should know what sorts of things to expect in "Easy Money". He plays a rowdy guy who has to end his vices so that he and his wife (Candice Azzara) will inherit a department store. Mostly, the movie is an excuse for Dangerfield to play his common role of the eternally obnoxious guy. But don't get me wrong, he ends up doing some funny stuff, with great support provided by Joe Pesci as his irresponsible friend, Geraldine Fitzgerald as the irritating mother-in-law and Taylor Negron as the mischievous son-in-law. One of the funniest scenes is the whole sequence in the department store; that must have been so much fun to film! All in all, it's not the funniest movie of all time, but does elicit a few laughs. Also starring Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tom Noonan, Tom Ewell (of "The Seven Year Itch") and Lili Haydn.

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...

This was really the first true Rodney Dangerfield vehicle. It was clearly written with Rodney in mind, or at least edited to fit him after he signed on. As a result, a lot of scenes go nowhere and seem completely random - they're just showcases for some of that famous Rodney Humor. If another actor were cast in the role, the movie would be terrible because the flaws would be outstanding. But when it's Rodney, it all seems to fall into place.The plot involves Rodney's mother-in-law dying and leaving him her fortunes in her will - but only if he cleans up his act first. He has to stop smoking, drinking, doing drugs, and must begin eating healthier.Of course, this can't hold up an entire movie, so the first 35 minutes or so has nothing to do with the rest of the plot. It shows Rodney at home, it shows him hanging out with Joe Pesci, gambling, going to a strip club, etc. Then there is a really bizarre subplot involving his daughter's wedding that contains one long, rambling scene (without Rodney, surprisingly) that goes nowhere.However, Rodney fans will find his typical humor here to enjoy. It may not be as coherent as "Back to School" but it is still a fine showcase for his comedic talents and reveals why Rodney Dangerfield was one of the best comedians of all-time, regardless of how bad the movies he starred in usually were.
