Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
This formulaic 1997 comedy becomes needlessly complicated at points but feeds off the high energy of Chris Tucker (The Fifth Element, Rush Hour). Tucker plays a two-bit con man, Franklin Hatchett, framed for the prison breakout of a ruthless criminal. Hunted by both the police and the bad guys, Hatchett finds his only hope in a smarmy, self-serving television reporter played by the perfectly cast Charlie Sheen (Platoon), who agrees to protect the nervous, hapless patsy only to further his own career. The plot is at times just plain dumb, and the requisite car chases and explosions happen a bit too frequently. But Tucker's manic energy and off-the-wall humor, as he is thrown into situations of mistaken identity and mortal danger, make the movie a frenetic and entertaining romp. --Robert Lane

[3.5]--"You're phat. P-H-A-T. Pretty Hot And Tempting.".......2007-05-22
Enjoyment of "Money Talks'' depends mainly on how funny one finds Chris Tucker. All the other elements -- story, production values, and performances -- are secondary. "Money Talks'' is what they used to call a star vehicle. It's a showcase to introduce an alleged comic talent and see if the public goes for him. I wouldn't quit laughing at Tucker's jokes and comedic overtones, and after viewing the film, Money Talks is more of a modernization of "48 Hrs."
Franklin Hatchett (Tucker) is the small-time hustler and con artist, going to prison after being set up by ace TV reporter James Russell (Sheen) in a ticket scalping scam. On the way to the pen, Franklin inadvertently becomes involved in a jail break orchestrated by the evil Villard (Gerard Ismael) and his personal army. One problem: the cops think Franklin is behind the whole scheme. Not knowing whom to turn to, Franklin gives James a call. The two make a deal: James will hide and protect Franklin for a weekend in exchange for an exclusive when Franklin turns himself in. There are a few complications, however. First, Villard wants Franklin dead. Second, James has just been fired from his TV job after being described by his boss (David Warner) as "another walking headshot" from the "John Tesh school of journalism." Third, this weekend, James is scheduled to marry Grace (Heather Locklear), the beautiful daughter of the very wealthy Guy Cipriani (Paul Sorvino).
One of the best thing that can be said about "Money Talks" is that director Brett Ratner obviously knows that he is reworking a over familiar formula, and he desperately tries to keep things moving. There are lots of classic Lalo Schifrin chase music, and plenty of shoot outs and exploding helicopters and of course the absurd secondary characters.
Paul Sorvino in particular provides a few genuinely funny moments as a dull-witted Italian heavy who gets conned by Chris Tucker. The movie is slickly paced and does work for Chris Tucker. But although he babbles so furiously that he inevitably scores a few laughs here and there, his hit/miss ratio is atrocious. And Charlie Sheen is predictably lifeless and wooden in some areas but slightly convincing in others. This film would later land Chris Tucker in another hit, "Rush Hour", since his comedic lines with a tirade of profanity would make Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor legends. Must see for sure especially on those lazy weekend.
Good, at least when it's not being racist.......2007-05-14
The action story in this picture works, mainly because of the two talented leading performers. And the movie as a whole is kind of good, but not something I could subject to multiple viewings by any means. It kind of reminds me of 1983's "Trading Places" in that they have the following in common: the African American lead is depicted as a hustler while the Caucasian lead is depicted as a rich male, or soon-to-be-rich male in this case; the African American lead is getting arrested and incarcerated just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time; the presence of Paul Gleason; the Caucasian lead seems to be engaged, and finally, at some point, they wind up as friends.
The only thing I didn't like was the scene in the beginning where the Italian thug says something about not liking "brothers," which I guess is supposed to be a synonym for African American males. Had this character wind up getting killed at the hands of that which he hated, that is, an African American male, like say for instance, the character with the bazooka, or his bodyguard, then this would be dangerously close to having at least four-star status. By "dangerously close," I mean that there are a couple of other things: the presentation of a female's rear in one of the later scenes (totally unnecessary) and then we have another Italian character (think his name was Guy), who upon discovering that Franklin was not Vic DaMone Jr. like he said he was makes some racially spiteful remarks as well.
Okay, now for the good news: other than everything about which I spoke in paragraph #2, this film definitely has its ups outweighing the downs, so to speak. You get to listen to Barry White songs, or least Franklin singing them with the radio. The scene in the market where the French jewel thieves are searching for Franklin and James was kind of fun as well as the scene where Paula meets Franklin in the restaurant where he shows her the diamonds. Then, finally, we have Raymond and Debray getting their comeuppance in two big ways.

A stupid movie that somehow is still funny and very entertaining.......2005-12-03
I got this movie for $3.00 and therefore am not having any regrets. Buy this movie for more than 6 bucks and you're getting ripped off. This movie is incredibly stupid and idiotic but still is entertaining and funny. Chris Tucker and Charlie Sheen team up to deliver some good laughs and an entertaining flick.
If you liked Rush Hour, then you'll like this. If you didn't like it then you most definitely won't like this.
This movie is nothing speicial and isn't anything you really should see but if you're in the mood for having some fun, then rent it.
The plot is lame but fun and the "frog" (as Gene Hackman would say) is actually speaking French. He's a funny dude. The movie has explosions, blood, guts (ya, it has some graphic violence like the back cover says it does) and has a bunch of profanity. But it's still fun and includes a hilarious auction scene.
The ending is cool and the movie is in the end some great fun. Just don't expect too much out of it and you'll enjoy it.
So this weekend, if you're in the mood for some fun laughs and want to see Charlie Sheen and Chris Tucker team up and act like idiots, then check this out.
Meet Vic Damone Jr........2005-06-18
I don't care what anybody else says. This movie is utterly hilarious. Yes, the humor is crude at times and Chris Tucker must say the "f" word 5,000 times. But, his delivery is unbelievable. Perfect timing. Imagine Chris Tucker passing himself off as the son of Vic Damone and Dianne Carroll! He attends a posh Italian American wedding reception and tells everyone he is Vic Damone Jr. There is a scene where Chris calls in a bomb threat at a disco that made me laugh so hard I hurt afterward. Charlie Sheen is a terrific partner in crime. If you liked Rush Hour, you will also like Money Talks. Comedy mixed with some pretty graphic violence. But it works! Take a chance on this one. It's worth it.

The controversial independent film Side Effects raised so many questions about the ethical and societal implications of the marketing practices the pharmaceutical industry, that writer/director Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau felt compelled to turn to the experts. The result is a gripping documentary that features interviews with key opinion leaders from Harvard, Columbia, UCLA and more. These thought leaders frankly discuss pharmaceutical influence as it relates to consumers, physicians, research, the FDA and Capitol Hill.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent expose.......2006-10-24
This is an excellent overview of how drug companies will stoop at nothing to show their products in a good light, even if their "cures" are worse than useless and exorbitantly expensive.
Two former sales reps explain how the drug companies seduce doctors from the time they're in med school with gifts, trips, etc. Yes, we all know this, but hearing it from people who engaged in these practices makes their methods seem even more odious and manipulative.
I especially liked Dr. Hoffman from UCLA whose calm explanations of the business of medicine and modern drug company tactics were excellent and scathing.
I wish this DVD was required by all medical schools.
much needed........2006-05-18
This documentary is very concise, and very straight forward. It does not beat around the bush or preach to the choir. It features interviews with some very credible sources, all of whom have their unique take on such a timely discussion topic. I really enjoyed the way the interviews were woven together. This documentary makes a great point and I'd highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in learning the hard facts about the drug industry and its ethics.
No fluff.......2006-05-04
I really enjoyed this documentary and it's lack of fluff. I am warn down by my generation's new over-the-top approach to documentary filmmaking. It is one thing to incorporate a barrage of pop music and rapid editing into a feature, or even a documentary about a band or a spelling bee, but what I really appreciated about this documentary was its refusal to mask the facts with entertaining rhetoric. The film is very blunt and gets to the point. It has something to say, and it says it - clearly. If you are looking for 50 minutes of relevant information that will leave you feeling nothing short of enlightened, this is the documentary for you.

This formulaic 1997 comedy becomes needlessly complicated at points but feeds off the high energy of Chris Tucker (The Fifth Element, Rush Hour). Tucker plays a two-bit con man, Franklin Hatchett, framed for the prison breakout of a ruthless criminal. Hunted by both the police and the bad guys, Hatchett finds his only hope in a smarmy, self-serving television reporter played by the perfectly cast Charlie Sheen (Platoon), who agrees to protect the nervous, hapless patsy only to further his own career.

A stupid movie that somehow is still funny and very entertaining.......2005-12-03
I got this movie for $3.00 and therefore am not having any regrets. Buy this movie for more than 6 bucks and you're getting ripped off. This movie is incredibly stupid and idiotic but still is entertaining and funny. Chris Tucker and Charlie Sheen team up to deliver some good laughs and an entertaining flick.
If you liked Rush Hour, then you'll like this. If you didn't like it then you most definitely won't like this.
This movie is nothing speicial and isn't anything you really should see but if you're in the mood for having some fun, then rent it.
The plot is lame but fun and the "frog" (as Gene Hackman would say) is actually speaking French. He's a funny dude. The movie has explosions, blood, guts (ya, it has some graphic violence like the back cover says it does) and has a bunch of profanity. But it's still fun and includes a hilarious auction scene.
The ending is cool and the movie is in the end some great fun. Just don't expect too much out of it and you'll enjoy it.
So this weekend, if you're in the mood for some fun laughs and want to see Charlie Sheen and Chris Tucker team up and act like idiots, then check this out.
Meet Vic Damone Jr........2005-06-18
I don't care what anybody else says. This movie is utterly hilarious. Yes, the humor is crude at times and Chris Tucker must say the "f" word 5,000 times. But, his delivery is unbelievable. Perfect timing. Imagine Chris Tucker passing himself off as the son of Vic Damone and Dianne Carroll! He attends a posh Italian American wedding reception and tells everyone he is Vic Damone Jr. There is a scene where Chris calls in a bomb threat at a disco that made me laugh so hard I hurt afterward. Charlie Sheen is a terrific partner in crime. If you liked Rush Hour, you will also like Money Talks. Comedy mixed with some pretty graphic violence. But it works! Take a chance on this one. It's worth it.

This formulaic 1997 comedy becomes needlessly complicated at points but feeds off the high energy of Chris Tucker (The Fifth Element, Rush Hour). Tucker plays a two-bit con man, Franklin Hatchett, framed for the prison breakout of a ruthless criminal. Hunted by both the police and the bad guys, Hatchett finds his only hope in a smarmy, self-serving television reporter played by the perfectly cast Charlie Sheen (Platoon), who agrees to protect the nervous, hapless patsy only to further his own career. The plot is at times just plain dumb, and the requisite car chases and explosions happen a bit too frequently. But Tucker's manic energy and off-the-wall humor, as he is thrown into situations of mistaken identity and mortal danger, make the movie a frenetic and entertaining romp. --Robert Lane

[3.5]--"You're phat. P-H-A-T. Pretty Hot And Tempting.".......2007-05-22
Enjoyment of "Money Talks'' depends mainly on how funny one finds Chris Tucker. All the other elements -- story, production values, and performances -- are secondary. "Money Talks'' is what they used to call a star vehicle. It's a showcase to introduce an alleged comic talent and see if the public goes for him. I wouldn't quit laughing at Tucker's jokes and comedic overtones, and after viewing the film, Money Talks is more of a modernization of "48 Hrs."
Franklin Hatchett (Tucker) is the small-time hustler and con artist, going to prison after being set up by ace TV reporter James Russell (Sheen) in a ticket scalping scam. On the way to the pen, Franklin inadvertently becomes involved in a jail break orchestrated by the evil Villard (Gerard Ismael) and his personal army. One problem: the cops think Franklin is behind the whole scheme. Not knowing whom to turn to, Franklin gives James a call. The two make a deal: James will hide and protect Franklin for a weekend in exchange for an exclusive when Franklin turns himself in. There are a few complications, however. First, Villard wants Franklin dead. Second, James has just been fired from his TV job after being described by his boss (David Warner) as "another walking headshot" from the "John Tesh school of journalism." Third, this weekend, James is scheduled to marry Grace (Heather Locklear), the beautiful daughter of the very wealthy Guy Cipriani (Paul Sorvino).
One of the best thing that can be said about "Money Talks" is that director Brett Ratner obviously knows that he is reworking a over familiar formula, and he desperately tries to keep things moving. There are lots of classic Lalo Schifrin chase music, and plenty of shoot outs and exploding helicopters and of course the absurd secondary characters.
Paul Sorvino in particular provides a few genuinely funny moments as a dull-witted Italian heavy who gets conned by Chris Tucker. The movie is slickly paced and does work for Chris Tucker. But although he babbles so furiously that he inevitably scores a few laughs here and there, his hit/miss ratio is atrocious. And Charlie Sheen is predictably lifeless and wooden in some areas but slightly convincing in others. This film would later land Chris Tucker in another hit, "Rush Hour", since his comedic lines with a tirade of profanity would make Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor legends. Must see for sure especially on those lazy weekend.
Good, at least when it's not being racist.......2007-05-14
The action story in this picture works, mainly because of the two talented leading performers. And the movie as a whole is kind of good, but not something I could subject to multiple viewings by any means. It kind of reminds me of 1983's "Trading Places" in that they have the following in common: the African American lead is depicted as a hustler while the Caucasian lead is depicted as a rich male, or soon-to-be-rich male in this case; the African American lead is getting arrested and incarcerated just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time; the presence of Paul Gleason; the Caucasian lead seems to be engaged, and finally, at some point, they wind up as friends.
The only thing I didn't like was the scene in the beginning where the Italian thug says something about not liking "brothers," which I guess is supposed to be a synonym for African American males. Had this character wind up getting killed at the hands of that which he hated, that is, an African American male, like say for instance, the character with the bazooka, or his bodyguard, then this would be dangerously close to having at least four-star status. By "dangerously close," I mean that there are a couple of other things: the presentation of a female's rear in one of the later scenes (totally unnecessary) and then we have another Italian character (think his name was Guy), who upon discovering that Franklin was not Vic DaMone Jr. like he said he was makes some racially spiteful remarks as well.
Okay, now for the good news: other than everything about which I spoke in paragraph #2, this film definitely has its ups outweighing the downs, so to speak. You get to listen to Barry White songs, or least Franklin singing them with the radio. The scene in the market where the French jewel thieves are searching for Franklin and James was kind of fun as well as the scene where Paula meets Franklin in the restaurant where he shows her the diamonds. Then, finally, we have Raymond and Debray getting their comeuppance in two big ways.
