Possibly a good play material but with this results wouldn't even cover a cheap TV movie.

I was happy to see some new material from Chevy; I know that originality is almost abstract thing in 2008. but still, what is offered here is more then insulting to anyone. Every single idea and solution that carries this silly... Full review

Well I can honestly say that this is one of the first Chevy Chase movies I haven't actually laughed at...... at least not in a good sense!! With it's predictable plot, un-funny slapstick type humour and lack of depth, this... Full review

As a big fan of Chevy Chase I was interested to watch this film and as with most of the previous comments of this film I agree that it is certainly no "Fletch" or early "Vacation" film. But the point... Full review

"Funny Money" is a screwball comedy like they made in the sixties! One crazy situation after another! The first 30 minutes are slow! Then the pace gets fast! And when the pace gets faster and faster! The scenes get funnier... Full review
Funny Money is an awesome modern Chevy Chase film.

Now Chevy Chase may not have done a classic comedy in this movie but this movie has got to be close to being a great comedy if not being a great comedy. The movie is about a guy who does... Full review

I must admit I was pleasantly surprised by this film - True, the plot is weak and at times too predictable. But on the other hand, I found this movie to be clever in its humor and fast-paced with comical shtick... Full review

Old Log's 'Funny Money' pretty funny....his performance as Henry is a classic.....This is not one of Cooney's stronger scripts.....Diane Benjamin-Hill brings a wonderfully assured sense of comedy to Betty, equal to the two leads..... ... Full Review

Funny Money," a screwball comedy starring Chevy Chase, has its charms....Based on a West End hit, director and co-adapter Leslie Greif's film takes unfortunately long to get rolling.....Any movie that starts in a wax-fruit factory can't be all bad.....As Henry's buddy Vic, Christopher McDonald finds the flow nicely..... ...

Funny Money is one of those movies where nearly everyone is required to act like an imbecile, because if anybody were to behave in a sensible manner the contrived plot would fall to pieces within seconds.
The best comedies, from His Girl Friday to Tootsie are, in their own subtle ways, as visually meticulous as any sci-fi epic, but Funny Money feels like it was edited with a chainsaw.

The best comedies, from His Girl Friday to Tootsie are, in their own subtle ways, as visually meticulous as any sci-fi epic....The movie also benefits from fine music by Andrea Morricone ( Cinema Paradiso ), who contributes a colorful, melodic score that compensates for the movie's weaknesses....The one misfire in the casting is the very actor who in theory would be perfect for the movie, Chevy Chase.....Greif's camerawork and editing are so awkward.... ...
