Plot: It's been said that nothing can bring two men closer together than a dollar placed between them, and a large family finds themselves becoming far closer than they'd like over several million dollars in this satiric comedy. Uncle Joe McTeague (Kirk Douglas) is an elderly man with a multi-million dollar fortune that he made in the scrap metal business and has no immediate heirs. While Joe has no children, he has plenty of relatives, most of whom don't really like him but want to curry his favor in hopes of inheriting his money when he dies (and Uncle Joe is just shrewd enough to know this). However, Uncle Joe has hired a nurse, Molly Richardson (Olivia D'Abo), who considers modeling bikinis in Joe's Jacuzzi to be therapeutic. The family is afraid that Molly will end up with the lion's share of Joe's money after they've been bending over backwards to earn his approval, so they bring in a ringer. Daniel McTeague (Michael J. Fox) is one of the only members of the family that Uncle Joe actually likes; a professional bowler of no particular skill, Daniel is the son of the family's black sheep, a leftist activist who decided years ago and wanted nothing to do with Uncle Joe. But Joe has a soft spot for Daniel and his imitation of Jimmy Durante, so the family tracks him down and has him come to visit his uncle. The idea is that if Daniel can get on Uncle Joe's good side, he'll be rewarded in his will, and then Daniel will share his fortune with the rest of the family. So Daniel and his wife Robin (Nancy Travis) move to be closer to Uncle Joe, but Daniel soon discovers that he doesn't like his family much more than Uncle Joe does. Greedy also features Phil Hartman, Ed Begley, Jr., Bob Balaban, Jere Burns, and Kirsten Dunst as some of the venal members of the extended McTeague Family; incidentally, the name McTeague is a reference to the lead character in Erich von Stroheim's silent epic Greed. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I was very happy to find this product and receive it in good condition. I love this movie and you made my day when I received it, because I watched it almost everyday since I got it. My movie arrived in about 5 days, all the while I was pacing the floor to get it. My family laugh every time we watch it. I couldn't be happier! I feel that this seller did everything very professional and I wouldn't mind buying more movies from them. Thank You!

This is a movie you can enjoy time and time again. Kirk Douglas really plays the cranky old man well; you laugh at him, and feel sorry for him both at the same time. Michael J. Fox bends over backwards to please "Uncle Joe" to no avail, and his "Greedy" relatives, played by a wonderful cast, are a hoot!

It was funny when Kirk Douglas got up from the wheelchair. Truly a movie to see for the jockeying for position in the movie.
