For Love or Money

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.

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.

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.

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.

Really enjoyed this one. Wasn't expecting much because I didn't know any of the actors but, boy, the dialogues are brilliant. Watched with my gf and we had a great time. Definitely a feel good movie. Highly recommended.
