While there, he meets Rosie McCratchit (Pamela McMyler), a lovely Irish gal who could do with some improvement in her fortunes as well.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Johnny Stewart (Damon Wayans) and Seymour Stewart (Marlon Wayans) are two brothers who make their living as con men. They make up a new hustle and find a new victim to get their money. Unfortunately they are not always able to stay out of jail. When Johny meets Amber Evans (Stacey Dash) he is immediately in love with her. In order to find the way to her heart he decides to get a normal job at the office where Ambers works.Mo'Money is a nice comedy. An attempt has been made to add some suspense to the movie by adding a story line about credit card fraud. The execution of this disappoints, which makes it feel tacked on and rushed.I like the humor in this movie and it's the main reason I watched it again. One scene in which the brothers walk into a dining and tear it up in order to get a free sandwich is hilarious. There are some other scenes which I also like (like the one where Seymour wakes up in the morning next to the girl he picked up the night before).Mo'Money is not a movie everyone will like or laugh about, but it's one which I like enough to have watched it again after not having seen it for many years.

Several years ago, I had a roommate whom I will call "Pat" to protect the not-so-innocent. He had a history of selecting the WORST movies. Schlock like Blue Velvet, Naked Lunch, and Wild At Heart. Mo' Money was another one of "Pat's Picks." It's a waste of good celluloid. I've seen detergents leave better film.The writing was sophomoric. The acting was weak. The "humor" was juvenile. A 12 year old would find this movie funny, but no one over the age of 14 could think it anything short of an insult.It might be worth the price of a rental for one reason and one reason only: Stacey Dash. I would turn down the sound and just enjoy that glorious smile, but then I'd miss her incredible voice. A little surgical clipping is in order. Blessed be the "mute" button.Beyond that, don't waste your time or money. If, like myself, you want to see Stacey, look for her in other movies... Renaissance Man, for example... Heck, even Illegal In Blue had some redeeming aspects that are conspicuously lacking in Mo' Money.

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.

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...
