      Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television Allan Dwan's love of financial processes is on display in this farce, and his flair for mixing normal and surreally comic characters. Jul 18, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

      scott m I saw the Richard Pryor movie first so I'm biased. I watched this on YT the other day and didn't really enjoy it all that much. Its not that it's dated, I didn't mind that. I just didn't like the directing. The production quality seemed like it was filmed on a shoe string budget because they never left the office building. Didn't like it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Honestly it's hard for me to say this but I hated this movie. It was okay in the beginning but it quickly got very, very stupid and unfunny. I was hoping that the original would be better than the awful remake, but apparently it's hard to remake a film that was so bad to begin with. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a very good movie. It's funny to watch someone try and spend a million dollars and it seems like it's impossible. Very enjoyable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Holds up surprisingly well. It's charmingly funny, without having to rely on slapstick. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/20 Full Review Audience Member This is a wonderful classic full of fun and humor and misunderstandings. this is well worth the time for someone who can appreciate a classic that is so funny you will laugh out loud. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Maybe not a classic, but it's fun, exciting, and interesting. What movie today can say that? This is the definitive version of Brewster's Millions. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
