The problem here is that Menendez keeps steering this story into slapstick, when it's really quite tragic.

Cusack saves the fairly pedestrian material.

Money for Nothing is a film more or less, it is not so convincing anymore John Cusack tries to do the job.

Cusack is one of my favorite actors. This film is worth watching for him alone, but is not great despite a fine cast.

John Cusak is always funny, and this wasn't a "bad" movie, but by no means one of his best.

I really wanted to like it more since it is a John Cusack film, but it was kinda boring and not the "comedy" it claimed to be. I was disappointed.
