Average Rating: 
Rating:  - An underrated classic
This movie has been on my radar for years as I enjoyed it many, many times when I was younger. I finally got around to ordering it and was not disappointed as it is still just as funny as I remembered.
Rodney Dangerfield is at his best here as is a young Joe Pesci. There are too many funny moments to mention and the movie is hilarious from beginning to end.
Rating: - RODNEY at his BEST!!
This was the first RODNEY DANGERFIELD movie I ever saw!!
Definitely one of RODNEY's BEST...5 Stars maybe even 6!!
I'm sorry to hear RODNEY isn't with us anymore!!
I rate this movie a 8 from 1to10!!
Rating:  - Deeper Than We Might Think
While "Easy Money" may APPEAR to be a simple comedy, it really confronts us with many flaws of the human condition. Monty (Dangerfield) is a child photographer who is good at his job. We soon learn that he has several vices. (smoking, drinking, some illegal drugs, gambling, and some lustful desires) But he is an EVERYMAN. Most of us have at least one vice. To some extent, we are ALL Monty.
Soon afterwards, a will from his mother in law,offers him $10,000,000. if he can shake off his vices and lose weight on top of that. Monty's friends confront us as well. They are really great at telling Monty why he should go through with it. They are also great at telling Monty he should not smoke, drink, overeat etc. But they continue to do it themselves, and at times in front of poor Monty. Again, to some extent, we are all Monty's friends.
To make matters more difficult, Monty's rival heir Clyde (Jeff Jones) wants the money for himself. So he looks for ways to tempt Monty into his former ways. (To a large extent, Clyde represents the presence of the devil.) Clyde can not force, but he can certainly tempt. Quite convincingly, Monty's tensions start to get the better of him, and the movie stops being funny. A notably sad scene is where Monty loses his job.
Very quickly, I am guessing the dream sequence was removed because it breaks the consistency of the film. (We have nothing before it to indicate Monty has fallen asleep.) Moving on, comedy reenters when Clyde offers ... Read More
Rating:  - NEEDS A DELUXE TREATMENT! CLASSIC COMEDY
This a on of those films that is so much funnier than it should be! Rodney Dangerfield and Joe Pesci are great together in this blue collar comedy. I can't even begin to think of how many lines I've quoted from this movie. The 3 star rating is for the low rent DVD treatment. This film is one of my favorite comedies and really deserves an upgrade! Still a must own film for me!
Rating: - Missing the Boxing Match scene!!!!
They cut out the Boxing match scene where the lovely Kimberly McArthur(the babe on the lawn) is re-exposed to Rodney when her top pops open in temptation! WHY DID THEY CUT THIS SCENE OUT OF THE VHS AND DVD RELEASES??? Otherwisw, it's a funny movie.
