Critics Consensus

Mo' Money only comes with mo' problems in this comedically bankrupt outing from the Wayans brothers.

Variety

Damon Wayans and his younger brother Marlon make a terrific comedy team in Mo' Money.

Time Out

Damon and Marlon are at their best in the opening comic sequences, which allow their chemistry to operate, but their pacing is disrupted by the ensuing formulaic thrills.

Maclean's Magazine

Silly and predictable, Mo' Money still manages to direct some well-aimed barbs at the idiosyncrasies and hypocrisies of mainstream America.

Hartford Courant

While the screenplay weaves in a number of neatly drawn characters, MacDonald's direction fails to give the film an overall coherency.

It's a shame. A low down dirty shame. Or maybe I'm thinking of another Wayans family member.

I was a huge fan of these guys back in the day, so my excitement for this movie was palpable, it ultimately was a big letdown, but I decided to give it another chance, when my hype died down and my expectations were adjusted... Nope. It's still just a mediocre romantic comedy.

As much as I loved In Living Color I really wanted to like this movie.I also wanted to like this movie as much as I thought I once did.It was just OK.It held my attention for awhile but I noticed myself doing other things, forgetting it was on & having it on as background noise a few times.I think the best & funniest parts of the movie were the In Living Color type moments.The thing that amazed me about this movie was that it went from being a comedy to a romantic comedy to an action flick.I don't think I'd recommend anybody to go out of their way to see it but if it's on & absolutely nothing else is on, you're bored out of your mind then I'd tell you to watch it.Too be honest with you, Even then I'm not sure I'd tell you to watch it.There's probably another movie out there you could be watching
