Funny Money

Chevy Chase looks old with hanging jowls and all…I found this movie irritating, stupid and painful to watch…it was meant to be a comedy but it fell far far from the intended tree.

The characters are made to look dim-witted and unintelligent…..the scenes and storyline wouldn’t have lasted 3 minutes in real life…cops are not that dumb, people are not that withstanding..

I watched this movie so you wouldn’t have to, you owe me big time.

This is how it goes.

Chevy Chase lands a briefcase filled with 5 million dollars by accidentally switching the identical briefcase with someone on the subway. The people who own (gangsters, mob, who ever the fuck), wants it back, Armand Assante is a detective that saw Chase in a bar behaving strangely so he go to Chase’s house to ask him why he was behaving strangely, Chase was counting the money in bar’s john, Chase offers to bribe him when he tells Chase he does not believe his story.

Chase’s wife Penelope Ann Miller is a sculptor who never had to the guts to display her work, that afternoon she bumps into some woman who owns a gallery or something and the lady offers to pay her a visit to see her sculptures.

The mobsters kills the guy who brought the wrong briefcase cuz it was payment for something..I don’t what and I don’t intend to find out. Because Chase’s briefcase was with the dead guy, the cops assume it was Chase who died. Enter rookie cop who arrives at the house to inform the wife that her husband was found dead in the river, while he’s actually in the kitchen bribing the cop….okay I can’t go on because then I might as well dictate the entire movie.

So yeah.
