I've seen this movie many times and it's very funny from start to finish.
Who would have thought that forming your own religion that promotes greed and selfishness would be so funny. It really gets rolling when the cast of leaders is chosen, especially the custodian. And it just snowballs from there. George Plimpton puts on a spectacular performance. The scary thing is that the plot could work in real life.
Religion, Inc, is to religion what Spinal Tap is to musicians.
Definitely not to be missed.
Highly recommended.

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.
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 first became interested in this movie because Sandra Bullock was on the cover. Little did I know that she was barely in the movie, and not even her rare appearance (which was the only thing worthwhile) could save this movie. The only reason I didn't stop the movie after the first five minutes was because I was determined to see it to the end--no matter what. Unfortunately, after the movie came to a conclusion (if you can call it that) I felt as if I had been violated with the most awful cinematic experience ever. The troubling parts of the movie were the horrible acting, the worst script, and music that sounded like it was pulled straight from a "country's worst" compilation album, volume one. I would recommend anything else. This is probably the WORST movie I have ever seen, and I have seen my share of bad movies.
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!

- CuriosidadesJerzy Kosinski and George Plimpton also appeared in Reds (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.
- Erros de gravaçãoWhen 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.
