Brando Goes Straight to Video
Added 7/15/2009
If you thought "A Countess From Hong Kong" was a low point in the Marlon Brando filmography, wait until you stumble upon this made-in-Canada turkey. A disastrous black comedy, "Free Money" (1998) proved unfit for theatrical consumption and received a straight-to-video burial. Brando's final starring role as an orange-haired prison warden is a grotesque embarrassment in a cinematic apocalypse all its own.

It took me awhile to recognize Marlon Brando and was unaware he could be so funny. I hadn't seen "Streetcar Named Desire" with the suddenly silly "Stanley" lines. The twins were likeably stupid and shallow, and PERFECT for the equally 'stupid' husbands they trapped. VERY enjoyable. Lots of laughing throughout. Too bad this film wasn't more appreciated, publicly.

Save your time and money. This movie is an embarrassment to the cast. I cannot believe that the likes of Brando and Sutherland were involved in this waste of celluloid.

This movie made me laugh. In addition to the comic elements, it had an interesting group of actors. I hadn't expected too much from the film, so it was a pleasant surprise.

One Of My Favorites
Added 8/27/2002
This is one of my favorite movies. I'm a fan of offbeat comedies like Stay Tuned, FRAUDS, Austin Powers and George of the Jungle, so this fits in my collection perfectly.
Thomas Haden Church really stands out as the dumb, loveable, cuddly Larry Lumstrum. He has an unusual shock of yellowish white hair, odd for him, he has golden blonde hair!
Larry might remind viewers of Lowell Mather from Wings. To tell you the truth, Larry IS Lowell Mather with white hair.
My favorite scene has to be when Larry is stuck in the black Dodge truck as the train is zooming for the vehicle. It reminds one of Marty McFly trying to jump out of the doomed DeLorean near the end of Back To The Future Part III.
