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

Tucker's manic energy is the only thing keeping the audience from dozing off like the rest of the cast.

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.

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!
