Wonderful character development!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I wasted 97 minutes of my life watching this crap. I only watched it because I am auditioning for the play at my local amateur theater. I am now truly re-considering going to the audition! This film was simply unfunny, not 1 laugh was had by me. I reckon Chevy Chase and all other cast members would want to remove this film from their resume. I think this carries the tradition of stage plays not transferring to film. Shame, it had a good cast on paper. Now I worry that if the movie is this unfunny that the play may also be unfunny. I se that the original author, Ray Cooney, was also a producer for the movie. He must have so many regrets now!

This is an adequate comedy, but nothing outstanding. I understand that this was derived from a stage play, and it appears to be. Lots of talk and interplay, little "action" in the sense of car chases, etc.The story is highly improbable. Our hero, Henry, manages to switch, accidentally, a briefcase from his office with an identical one with $5 million. The switch takes place on a subway, where "Mr. Nasty" is holding the money stuffed briefcase on his lap. Henry discovers the contents of the switched briefcase, and decides to leave town immediately so that he and his wife won't get killed. Henry's wife, though, has just been discovered by a patroness of the arts, who likes her art, which is highly genitalious. The action takes place on Henry's birthday, and they're expecting guests.Getting away gets stymied by visitors, including a cabbie, two policemen, and Henry's boss. Henry spins tales to keep control while trying to get to the airport before "Mr. Nasty" finds him. Naturally, the cover stories get more complicated and the action gets rather Byzantine.The dialog gets rapid and complex. Some of it is quite amusing, but other parts kinda drag. As light entertainment, though, it's okay.

Finally Chevy Chase is up to his old self in Funny Money!! If you liked Caddy Shack or Christmas Vacation, I'm sure you will love this one. It is an absolute riot don't miss it! This movie has an excellent cast and a very funny plot so GO SEE IT!! I think that Armand Assante and Chris Mcdonald were very funny in this as well, they really make it fun and enjoyable. Also Robert Loggia played Chevys boss and he is just hilarious. It has been a long time since we have Chevy in the leading role and its good to see in back in front. He has always been a favorite of mine and he still is very very funny!I hope they put this movie in more theaters to make it easier for everyone to go see, I want to take my whole family to see it so hopefully it will open in more places soon.

What a delight to see Chevy Chase back on-screen again, with a great ensemble of hilarious actors. Director Leslie Grief does an excellent job of keeping the audience in stitches from the opening credits to the final Smile.We saw this movie as the opening film of the 2006 Sarasota Film Festival, in a theater with 1700 other people. There is no question that the audience loved it. At times, the laughs were so loud and long that if you weren't paying close attention, you might have missed the next joke.If you are looking for good, old-fashioned belly laughs, you won't be disappointed in this film. Kudos to Leslie Grief, Chevy Chase, Penelope Anne Miller, Armand Assante and Chris McDonald.
