Waste of time
Overrated and overhyped
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
This one is way too trivial and not thought through. It is about these four people from different backgrounds that make a bet who can get the highest net worth after a month in an unfamiliar city (Salt Lake City)with an initial amount of a hundred dollars in their pockets. All the persons are way too stereotypical. The "hippie" spur of the moment type guy has had a hard upbringing, the seemingly wealthy hotshot stock broker is really up to his neck in debts, the sensible one takes the hard but right way, and so on... It's a movie for people who believe in the personality types that were built up for *NSync and similar bands are telling the truth about the members of the band.... Anyway, no matter what their differences between the movie characters are, it's still just a test of how good their friendhip is. Come on... Whoever said this is original is wrong. This is too predictable. And too slow. And too stereotypical.
quite the sleeper. My girlfriend talked me into watching it...boy did I thank her for turning me on to this great sleeper. Kept me guessing throughout the entire film. Definately an original. Shocking look at a different type of reality.
Net Worth is a very compelling story about 4 men in their mid-30's who make a bet to see who will have the greatest net worth after one month. The catch: they must all start over in a new city with no background, just $100 and the clothes on their backs. It's a marvelous exploration of how the men come to evaluate themselves and their relationships through this process of surviving as fish out of water. Most importantly, it never becomes sappy. These seem like real guys with some of the same issues as friends of mine, and the story feels kind of like "City Slickers" with an edge. Michael T. Weiss is riveting as Michael Winslow, a charming ladies' man. Daniel Baldwin is perfect as the smarmy stockbroker Robert Freedman. Highly recommended, and it will be appreciated by men and women alike.
This movie had it all - a great premise, plot, character development, believability, solid dialogue, and a script that kept moving forward. Very little wasted scenes that did not keep the story moving. Great Acting, a solid directorial job, etc. Every scene interesting. Every character interesting. One heck of a movie. It is a pity that apparently no one saw this film has whoever was in charge of promotion either 1) was asleep, or 2) had not budget to work with. I dare say that this movie is better than 95% of all movies out there. Jeff
