Easy Money (1983)
7/10
Put your money on this one! With Rodney in the game you can't lose!
21 April 2001
"Easy Money" has many hilarious moments, due to Rodney's comic genius. He remains one of my personal heroes and my favorite comic of all time. He makes me laugh like no other. If you love Rodney's one-liners, you're bound to have a ball with this movie! It's hard to choose a favorite.

The plot is noticeably a mere setup for one wacky situation after another, and doesn't seem to move naturally. But hey, Rodney said it in his interview with Jay Leno, "When you're writing a movie, you don't have to do it like you're writing 'Gone with the Wind.'" That's not always true, but with Rodney's humor to save the day there is no fear.

Also, if you're a Joe Pesci fan--like me--this would be a good movie to check out. Pesci delivers a fine early performance as Rodney's buddy. Taylor Negron was also amusing--like always--as Jennifer Jason Leigh's husband-to-be. I also have to give credit to Billy Joel for a fine title song. I sing that song in the showers a lot, it's one of my favorites.

If you love Rodney--like everybody in the universe--this movie will not fail. You'll laugh your head off!

My score: 7 (out of 10)
