Damon Wayans and his younger brother Marlon make a terrific comedy team in Mo' Money. Go to Full Review Derek Adams Time Out 02/09/2006
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. Go to Full Review Janet Maslin New York Times 05/20/2003
3/5
Some of the humor in Mo' Money has a mean-spirited edge. And only in isolated moments is it as funny as its own title. Go to Full Review Brian D. Johnson Maclean's Magazine 10/11/2019
Silly and predictable, Mo' Money still manages to direct some well-aimed barbs at the idiosyncrasies and hypocrisies of mainstream America. Go to Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant 06/04/2018
While the screenplay weaves in a number of neatly drawn characters, MacDonald's direction fails to give the film an overall coherency. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf BrianOrndorf.com 07/26/2012

It's a shame. A low down dirty shame. Or maybe I'm thinking of another Wayans family member. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 3d Funny in 01 hour, 29 minutes, and 47 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The worldwide gross is $40,227,006.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ages 17 and older!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Blu B Jul 2 The acting is terrible. It's so ridiculously over the top and exaggerated most of the time that when it tries being more grounded and gritty it makes things feel so out of place. The humor is terrible in this. It's like unrefined Wayan's humor if that makes sense. They haven't figured the formula out fully for better or worse. The cinematography isn't good either. It's basic direction, filled with stupid scenes, and boring ones. The music is soooo dated and screams 1992. It's trying so hard to be modern and cool that it dates itself and is very forgettable in general. The editing and isn't good and the pacing is terrible. It's weird, this starts out as a bad comedy with dumb humor. Than it sets up a very convuluted credit fraud plot (who would ever think this would be in a film like this) that is so jumpy and so convuluted at points with a romance. And than it becomes a hard nosed crime thriller out of nowhere and becomes sooo boring. It's so weird how this changes tone and falls flat at both. Skip This. Very dated bad 90's comedy...EARLY 90's. See more Chinu D 08/19/2024 It’s a really good movie See more 10/10/2022 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. See more 04/09/2020 Such a funny movie I couldn't stop laughing. Great classic. See more 09/22/2017 Terrible movie, why did I watch this.
