      Audience Member Such a funny movie! Jack Lemmon, Jonathan Silverman as well as Talia Shire are great in this movie! It's nice to see Madeline Kahn in a special appearance. This movie is definitely one of my new favourites! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A self-made multimillionaire tries to inspire his lazy son(fresh out of college)to find work. He gives all his money away in hopes of motivating his son. He takes odd jobs to make ends meet, but still his son Michael doesn't work. His son Michael soon receives a $200K gift from his rich fiancee, who inherited the $. But the workaholic dad isn't happy. It's funny at the end the father is the moocher while Michael, who got $5 Million in the divorce settlement, is the rich man....but he finally got a job as a waiter cuz he realized he wanted to work to give thanks for the good meal at that restaurant.
