All About the Money

An American action comedy; A story about three American guys who venture to Columbia with the aim of capturing America's most wanted criminal for a dollar reward. The film starts well, establishing the characters, and there are several instances of genuine amusement. Unfortunately, it then descends into a cramming of drug-addled inaneness, racial crudeness and silly, predictable encounters with dangerous criminals showing no real menace. It transforms from funny buddy comedy to juvenile caper.

This was surprisingly and unexpectedly much more entertaining than I expected! If you're looking for an enjoyable funny 'Netflix and Chill' type movie to watch on a lazy day, this movie will not disappoint!

To be clear, it's not a suspense type thought-provoking psycho- thriller drama, nor a top notch comedic production, but just simply an enjoyable mindless comedy that will entertain.

The comedy was a little overboard at times, but there were *some* LOL moments, and I caught myself having a permanent smile throughout most of the movie. It was stupid humor but it was executed properly. Casper Van Dien was surprisingly comedic, and although Eddie Griffin seemed a little too much next to Blake Freeman's somewhat stale comedic performance, the three together made it work! Jon Gries was on point as the psycho marine. There was a decent story-line. The location setting was great. There's some action, suspense, gore, eye-candy, and pretty much all the elements to make this one of the more successfully entertaining B grade action/sitcom attempts I've seen in a while.

I'm sure there will be other reviews dissecting and over-critiquing and low scoring this movie, but in my opinion, it was just simply an enjoyable, mindless form of entertainment with some hilarious characters and over-the-top comedy.

Enjoy it for what it is, a fun ride.

Did casper van dien even read the script before accepting this? He had a pretty big hit in starship troopers in 1997, but made a real mix of good ones and clunkers after that. Blake freeman wrote, directed, and acts in this, and it's not usually a good sign when the same person does all that. Lots of stereotype jokes, and talk of racism. Chris, vince, and kurt take a trip to colombia to claim the reward for bringing in a drug lord. They aren't even sure where colombia is. Clearly they are in way over their heads! Low budget. Cheesy script. The story itself isn't bad, but it's just not that fun to watch. Many, many stoner jokes. You'll recognize danny trejo! With his rugged looks, he's in every drug and mafia movie made. The fighting in the center part actually isn't bad. But the beginning and the ending are just silly. It looks like they rented a mansion in los angeles for a week to film this. Entertaining.. i guess.

This comedy would have been much better without Blake Freeman in the cast. He should have stuck to directing.

I really don't understand why this film is surrounded around so many negative reviews? It's not meant to be taken seriously! The film itself has a solid storyline from start to finish with the filming leading on for a follow up film. The acting is food, its also action packed and the spoof comedy will have you crying with laughter. I would definitely be watching the follow up film if one is made
