Their chance to reconcile comes when they walk across the city pushing a piano they were able to snag for free.

Reviews for Money Buys Happiness
All in all, Money Buys Happiness shows that Lachow is a director worth keeping an eye on.
Like watching an acting exercise in the rehearsal stages; this project feels as if it is still on its way to being realized.
Neither too surreal nor too self-involved, the film leavens its obvious symbolism with quirky digressions and a sharp appreciation of all the troublesome details of a troubled marriage.
