Only managing to come up with routine action, director Macdonald delivers few thrills, and the comedy doesn't last far beyond the first reel.

Entertaining enough and funny enough, and cannily includes all the elements that entice popularity. But, perhaps after reaping the rewards for this film, Wayans will put his obvious talents toward a project that isn't about making more money.

Damon Wayans wrote Mo' Money as a star vehicle for himself and is credited as an executive producer. So, so it's safe to say he deserves the blame.

One of Damon Wayan's better offerings. An entertaining combination of action and laughs.

Damon and Marlon are at their best in the opening comic sequences, which allow their chemistry to operate, but their pacing is disrupted by the ensuing formulaic thrills.

The movie is described as an "action-comedy-romance," but it fails to work as any of the three.

Some of the humor in Mo' Money has a mean-spirited edge. And only in isolated moments is it as funny as its own title.

It's not that the all-too-familiar characters are not funny here (when they don't border on the offensive) but they only slow down the narrative.

One or two laughs, but hardly worth a rental.
