Movie Info

Small-time crook Johnny Stewart (Damon Wayans) decides to go straight to win a beautiful girl (Stacey Dash), and to prove it, he joins the mailroom of the credit-card firm for which she works. Needing money to impress her, Johnny steals a credit card, goes on a shopping spree and wins the girl.

Critic Reviews for Mo' Money

All Critics (25) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (21)

  • Damon Wayans and his younger brother Marlon make a terrific comedy team in Mo' Money.

    Top Critic

  • 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.

    Time Out
    Top Critic

  • 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.

    May 20, 2003 | Rating: 3/5

    Janet Maslin

    New York Times
    Top Critic

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

    Hal Hinson

    Washington Post
    Top Critic

  • Silly and predictable, Mo' Money still manages to direct some well-aimed barbs at the idiosyncrasies and hypocrisies of mainstream America.

    Brian D. Johnson

    Maclean's Magazine

  • While the screenplay weaves in a number of neatly drawn characters, MacDonald's direction fails to give the film an overall coherency.

Audience Reviews for Mo' Money

  • Dec 17, 2015
    As much as I loved In Living Color I really wanted to like this movie.I also wanted to like this movie as much as I thought I once did.It was just OK.It held my attention for awhile but I noticed myself doing other things, forgetting it was on & having it on as background noise a few times.I think the best & funniest parts of the movie were the In Living Color type moments.The thing that amazed me about this movie was that it went from being a comedy to a romantic comedy to an action flick.I don't think I'd recommend anybody to go out of their way to see it but if it's on & absolutely nothing else is on, you're bored out of your mind then I'd tell you to watch it.Too be honest with you, Even then I'm not sure I'd tell you to watch it.There's probably another movie out there you could be watching

    i have to say i loved this movie and i thought damon wayans and marlon wayans work great together and it was funny from start to finish the sotry aint the most complex or the best ive ever seen but cant take away how funny it was cant wait to see it again

    This came out at the time In Living Color was very popular and this movie employs some of the same slapstick type of comedy. Marlon and Damon are funny as brothers/scam artists. A young Stacy Dash looks absolutely fantastic. This is one of the first and possibly the best of all the Wayans movies.
