This movie is recommended for those who have insomnia's - otherwise don't waste your time. The plot outline on the cover is much better than the actual movie which is terrible. Listening to an oratory by a parakeet would be more exciting than this terrible movie!
The transfer quality of the DVD is also bad. There is a lot of distortion on the sound which makes it hard to understand what is being said. The color timing shifts with the advancing frames. Together with a poor plot, the acting is bad, which is surprising considering some of the actors used in the movie. Although it is sold as a "budget movie," even the low price to pay is not worth buying this movie...if some of you insist on seeing "A Fool and His Money," look for it in the television listings. And, have a "pocket" video game or something to help with the boredom!

I bought this DVD in a bargain bin -- you get what you pay for. I cannot watch the entire movie....it's that bad. I'm glad I only paid $3.00 for it. Save yourself some money - avoid at all costs. I thought, when i saw that Sandra Bullock was in it that it might be okay. Wrong. Dead wrong.
The acting stinks, the directing stinks and it's not funny.
Avoid it like the plague.
You'll be glad you listened to me.
Of the subject a bit....but one can usually find some good bargains in the bargain bins. It's how I have built up my DVD collection.

I found the DVD on a shelf at a rental condo I was at. Had never heard of it, but Sandra Bullock was on the cover, it was late, so why not give it a go. What a terrible, terrible movie. Perhaps one of the worst ever made. If IMDb allowed a zero rating, this would be it. In fact, I'm tempted to raise my score on the other 5 movies I have rated a 1 on IMDb, just to show how bad this one was.
The writing was bad, the plot was non-existent, the acting was terrible, the camera-work looked like that of someone using a video camera for the first time. My wife and mother-in-law were smarter than me, they went and found something else to do. I kept watching, thinking something has to happen. And you know, NOTHING EVER HAPPENED in this movie.
Go watch a snail crawl across the sidewalk, go watch water dripping from a faucet, anything is better than watching this.

A Fool and His Money tries to balance satire and humor but ends up stumbling through most of its runtime. The jokes feel flat, the pacing drags, and the story never really hooks you in. Even with a few moments that hint at something sharper, it's largely forgettable and lacks the charm needed to make it work.
This is the worst movie I have seen in a long time. I watched it all the way through hoping for some redeeming ending but there was none. I was very glad to see that this is only the second movie for Sandra Bullock.

- WissenswertesJerzy Kosinski and George Plimpton also appeared in Ein Mann kämpft für Gerechtigkeit (1981). Both aren't professional actors (Kosinski was a novelist while Plimpton was a journalist) and both acting careers in the 1980's started with the other film and ended with this one.
- PatzerWhen Morris is talking to an employee in a meeting about starting up a cocktail hour there is only one pack of cigarettes in front of him when he is seen from the front. But in shots of him from behind, there are two packs.
