    Surprisingly, the trademark roguish antics of diminutive devil DeVito is kept at a subdued level thanks to the lifeless corporate spunk in Jewison's mediocre material. It's not really all that fun spending a dime on Other People's Money

    Boring stock market comedy. No laughs.

    Not bad, but the point is muddled in a movie that doesn't know what it wants to be.
