Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C+ Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Globe and Mail Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 12, 2002 Full Review Susan Stark Detroit News Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy There’s a running gag in Money Talks that’s so perfectly set up and played, it’s a shame it couldn’t have been employed in a far better movie. Rated: 2/4 Apr 10, 2024 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Tucker's manic energy is the only thing keeping the audience from dozing off like the rest of the cast.

ASHAR B This is a classic one if the funniest movies till this day lol they were so good together and Chris Tucker is a legend he's hilarious Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/30/23 Full Review Michael S Other than Chris Tucker's manic act as a petty criminal on the run, this film stinks. Instead of dialing it back and letting Tucker work in and out jams using his mouth it relies on shootouts, car chases, and a lot of things blowing up. It's all very dumb. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Andre G Just an ok movie. This movies about some stolen diamonds. It is pretty funny but it really could have been better. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/19/23 Full Review Enrico de Rojas S good action comedy, worth watchin commercials to see it Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/22 Full Review Stephen C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 35 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/22 Full Review Audience Member There were a few things that made me think "yeah right" for sure and some things toward the end that didn't wrap up the plot well enough, but still, one cannot help but laugh at the words coming out of Chris Tucker's big mouth. He has a good on-screen relationship with the more quiet, cool, and reserved Charlie Sheen, but boy Chris's dialogue and how he can deliver all of his lines is stuff you only see from Kevin Hart now! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
