Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:
Product Description
New York advertising executive Morris Codman (Jonathan Penner) seems to have it all, lots of talent and a beautiful girlfriend, Debbie (Sandra Bullock). When he loses his job he decides to use his advertising expertise to create, package and market a shady product that will make him millions. Debbie tries to convince him that money isn't everything and that she loves him just the way he is. Resurrected in 1995 to cash in on the success of Sandra Bullock, this low-budget comedy takes a swipe at capitalism. A sleazy ad man starts a bogus religion preaching greed, until, in the predictable epiphany, he discovers the beauty of altruism. Bullock shines as the skeptical girlfriend.

    3 out of 5 stars A Fool and His Money.......2006-09-22

    I saw this film for two reasons. First of all, the plot sounded interesting, and the second reason was Sandra Bullock. The story is about a man who starts a new religion in order to make money. It's a great idea, but it could have been carried out in a better way. As for Sandra Bullock, she only plays a minor role and it's far from her best work.

    Overall, "A Fool and His Money" is an average late-1980s comedy. I didn't think it was as bad as the other reviewers, but also not great. Sandra Bullock fans may want to check it out, but be aware that she only plays a supporting role. The DVD has no special features and is pan & scanned (fullscreen).

    1 out of 5 stars Worst movie ever made.......2006-01-15

    Without a doubt, this is the worst movie ever made, in any genre, in any decade, by any movie making company since the begining of motion pictures. Who ever put Sandra Bullock's image on the cover of the DVD should be arrested for false advertising, since Sandra is only in the movie a few minutes, and isn't very good in her role anyway. What a bomb, and that's an understatement. Don't rent it, don't buy it, and don't ever watch it, unless you are completely without anything to do, and want to find out for yourself just how bad a movie can be.

    1 out of 5 stars Whoa! This movie is bad........2005-09-17

    WARNING! Do not waste your money or your time.

    Sandra Bullock is not in this movie enough to warrent the packaging headling her as the star. [...]

    The sound quality is really bad, as well as the lighting and if they used a script that too.

    Run from this movie.

    1 out of 5 stars not worth buying.......2005-08-28

    Being a huge fan of Sandra Bullock, I bought this movie thinking it would be fun and cute like her other work. Nope, this movie is garbage. First thing I noticed was that the sound quality is extremely poor which goes along hand in hand with the poor camera angles and shoots. The acting is very bad and the story line is simply ridiculous. Over all, it's not a movie worth buying.

    2 out of 5 stars Not too good even with beautiful Sandra.......2005-04-21

    I admit it. I bought this one because I think Sandra Bullock is beautiful and she looked nice on the box. I need not have bothered. She is a very minor character with minimal screen time. She does well in her few moments but that is not enough to make this a "good show".

    The story revolves around a Madison Avenue type who thinks he has a divine mission to found a new religion. He sets about hsi task with all of the market research tools at his disposal and manages to fleece his flock of much of their disposable income. Near the end, he begins to see the light and reforms himself.

    There are a few brief moments of laughter, a few moments of Sandra in briefs but the the redeeming moments are all too brief.
