Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 4.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times There's no deep point to be made; the device is simply an excuse to tell half a dozen short stories. But the very lightness of the premise gives the film a kind of freedom. Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: C+ Jun 26, 2005 Full Review Edward Havens FilmJerk.com Rated: 2/5 Jun 26, 2003 Full Review Boo Allen Denton Record-Chronicle Rated: 2/5 Oct 24, 2002 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com Rated: 3/5 Jul 25, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Louise C Now an old movie, but if you have a chance to watch it, do! 'Twenty Bucks' is funny, light-hearted and memorable too. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Just fair. A big cast of likable actors. This twenty dollar bill goes to almost every one of them. I have seen better side stories though of everyone coming together. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/23 Full Review steve d It all goes nowhere. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Easy to follow unique concept that doesn't take a great deal of focus and requires little intelligence to be mildly amused with. A little too much coincidence and convenience for the concept to fully spread its wings, you can find a better use of the concept. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Frances H Great interweaving of multiple character stories around the passing of a twenty dollar bill from hand to hand. Linda Hunt and an all-star cast make this film a delight. The song at the end says it all. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/25/15 Full Review Audience Member As a twenty-dollar bill circulates, various classes of people assign it differing values. American class differences reveal themselves in this fine but didactic film. The conceit is interesting enough, and the stories and characters are all engaging, from the thieves to the engaged couple, but when it all comes together, in a haphazard Altman imitation, it's hard to discern that we've seen anything new or remarkable. Overall, this is a good concept, well-executed, but not as "important" as it might think. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
