A one-time watch! Enjoyable enough!

I've rounded up to a 7 because I think the one star reviews are a joke. In my book, this is significantly better than plenty of the generic Hollywood romcoms produced, and far better than 90% of the stuff produced by Hallmark or Lifetime, and it has clearly been done on a relatively low budget.

Having said that, if you generally enjoy those types of movies and look forward to that stereotypical formula, then this will likely not be for you. If you are bothered by a little bad language and offended by a priest professing to be an atheist, then this is not for you. If you have a problem with absurdity, then this is not for you.

The best things it has going for it are its short runtime, its plot which moves along quickly, and its decision not to conform to type. There are a couple of funny moments and a couple of heartfelt moments, though its quality varies when it leans into the absurd. It likely won't appeal to an American audience because its scenes aren't written to build to a laugh.

There is likely a much better film in there somewhere but it would require a serious rewrite. Almost all of the scenes would need to be funnier and the character relationships and interactions put on more solid footing. Having said this, I liked most of the characters, the acting was solid enough, and I didn't mind the ending.

It is worth a one-time watch but I'd be unlikely to make any effort to watch it again. Could have much been better, could have been far worse! 6/10

Surprisingly funny

Production quality isn't hollywood level, but suprisingly well edited and acted out. Very enjoyable to watch and has real laughs in it. wouldn't mind watching it again.

Fun movie

For Love or Money is fun to watch. It's a great twist on the "revenge on the goldigger" story. Fun performances by Robert Kazinsky, Samantha Barks, Tony Way, Rachel Hurd-Wood, and the wacky performances of Anna Chancellor, Ian Kaye and Tanya Reynolds were great scene stealers.

This movie isn't perfect, but it does generate some good laughs. The ending is just ok, but at least it's more realistic than most movies in the romcom genre. Don't rush to see it, but it's not a bad Netflix date movie.

Ok movie, but--

Was this written by an 8 year old?! Atheist comedies are a dime a dozen these days, but most still exert effort to justify their take on the subject. Whether you call that education or simple expression, it's there. Even entertaining at times. But this one just wants to be an atheist movie with all the wit of a grade schooler. Lazy writing that just ruins the fun.

Ran out of Gas

An enjoyable British comedy with over-the-top humor worthy of Monty Python. Samantha Barks, who displays real comedic talent, finds out that a former classmate was about to sell a business for a lot of money. Her boyfriend, who should have been wearing a top hat and a handlebar mustache, convinces her to marry him so she can get half the money then share it with him. However, the victim finds out about the plot and does everything he can to insult and antagonize her so she will quit. The movie is a lot of fun for those who can suspend disbelief and not be offended by the fact that the characters are more caricatures than people. The primary problem is that the script would have been wonderful for a one-hour TV sitcom. After an hour, I was saying, enough already.

what we do for love

Not to be confused with the michael fox one from 1993. Growng up, mark (robert kazinsky) has always admired connie (samantha barks) from afar. So when she makes moves on him as an adult, he proposes right away. The viewers can see that she's just a gold digger. Mark's housemate can see it. But will mark figure it out in time? It gets a little painful to watch when they are being mean to each other, but oh well. The minister steals the show, with his fussing and cussing. Fun little adventure. On the roku channel. Directed by mark murphy.

I guess I don't have the same sense of humor.

First of all let it be perfectly clear that the reviewers that scored this movie with a perfect ten are fake reviewers. They all have just one review so it's pretty obvious somebody made them writing this as a favor. Any normal human being could see this movie is just a stinker. The story is very predictable but most of all very boring and annoying. It's one of those movies you wonder why they made it. Maybe with better actors it could go from really bad (what it is now) to mediocre at best. But the major problem are the actors, they are just bad. Robert Kazinsky (first time I saw the bloke if I have to be honest) is cringing to watch. When my wife told me he was in EastEnders I have to admit I was not surprised at all, as all failures of actors end up in sleezy soap series. The other 'main' character played by Samantha Barks looks also everything but professional. This movie is supposed to be a comedy but I didn't laugh once, and I can assure you there is nothing wrong with my sense of humor. And why do they need such an absurd title? The Revenger: An Unromantic Comedy or For Love Or Money, it doesn't matter which one, they are both stupid titles for a boring movie. Avoid at all costs.

I can't begin to describe how bad this is.....

Every character is an unlikable loser. So if you like dumb, annoying people, dumb, unfunny jokes, an absurd story line, perhaps you'll like this. Perhaps it's for the juvenile audience, I don't know. But it's not for me. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else, either. If you're not paying to see it, why not give it a try. You can always turn it off, and do something more enjoyable, like hitting your head against the wall. All I can think of, is this was a way for some producers to lose money for some type of tax write off. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

Not what I expected

I watched this purely because a friend who is also a massive Pacific Rim fan like myself recommended it because of Rob Kazinsky's facial expressions.

Within three minutes, I'd snorted more than once and spilled my drink. The movie was well-paced, full of snappy, truly funny dialogue and a total farce. I loved every second of it and have already started watching it again. The cast is totally on point, and you can tell they're having a great time. Half the extras break "Character" because they're too busy laughing and the faces that Sam and Rob make are priceless.

I cannot recommend this movie enough. The Dad's monologue at dinner alone is worth every second you spend leading up to it and the conclusion is priceless.

Offensively stupid

Offensively stupid. Hella misogynistic. Just awful, and not in a so-bad-it's-good way, just in a stomach-churningly un-funny way. Dreadful. Alcohol couldn't have improved it, but I do wish I'd had some drinks and live-tweeted while watching it because it was just... unbelievable. A spectacular failure on every conceivable level. Worse than the worst crappy Hallmark xmas movie.

Garbage

First off you can't hear anything over the overbearing soundtrack. Second, everyone mumbles and third there is not a single laugh in the whole movie. Not a one.

Waste of money

This movie is like a poo in the beautiful wrapper. Beautiful landscapes and nature as a background for absolutely low-minded story. Motivation of heroes is so abnormal, I felt like someone has opened wards in asylum.

Thoroughly enjoyable comedy with Ivan Kaye standing out as unrivalled highlight

British independent film 'For Love or Money' has been produced on a tight budget, but does convince with its beautiful photography, a pleasant atmosphere, plenty of funny scenes and with a great cast:

Tony Way (best man Tim) is extremely funny, the leads Samantha Barks and Robert Kazinsky portray the slowly growing human sensitiveness of their characters convincingly and Ivan Kaye stands out as the unrivalled highlight as Connie's father Patrick.

Always a scene-stealer, in this film Kaye shows his genius to impress even smaller characters on the audience by deploying an enormous range of acting skills within limited space. He masterfully switches back and forth between the promiscuous and bizarre touch of his character and its traditional and patriarchal qualities within seconds. Kaye's brilliance dominates every single one of his scenes making him the main focus in most unexpected moments. Even when he is positioned in the background, that is where the main fun is happening. As Ivan Kaye makes his first appearance towards the last third of the film, it is certainly true in this case that they saved the best for last.

It's just a pity that the happenings at the house of Connie's parents haven't been given more space as in my opinion the Failed Critics review correctly states that the film "jumps to a completely different level" once Ivan Kaye and Anna Chancellor (as Connie's mother Carol) appear on the scene.

Rachel Hurd-Wood as Connie's old friend Kendra has several great moments and although Ed Speleers sometimes overacts given the more restricted style of his castmates, his facial expressions are hilarious.

Some marginal, but recurring characters evoke extra laughs, not least David Hargreaves' somewhat quirky priest with his dry style.

All in all, this is a thoroughly enjoyable comedy film with an endearingly human undercurrent that results in an interesting turn at the end. Highly recommended to everybody who is looking for a slightly different type of "romantic comedy" and wants to laugh a lot.

Have I laughed this hard in my life?

This movie hit every note to perfection. I cackled from the word go all the way through, while still being 100% emotionally invested in all the characters and being captivated by the plot. Rob and Sam were fantastic and had me completely engrossed. Would recommend this movie to anyone and will be adding it to the top of my list of go to comfort movies for when I need a good pick me up

Loved it! Hilarious!

I am a huge fan of many of the people in this film and I was not disappointed. Hilarious, thoughtful and surprisingly edgy. Brit comedy at its finest. Be sure to check it out. Writer / director Mark Murphy has done it again. I love his comedies and his horrors. Not many directors can master both genres but Murphy's 25+ years experience in the business are visible in every frame.

Unexpected quality!

The story line seemed to be fairly simple but quickly took the course we expected than took another course which we did not expect. Bravo! Great acting from persons we did not know, but do now, great film work/scenery and a great laugh throughout without any need for hollywood toilet humor or stupidity. We greatly recommend this movie.
