 | 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 movie is an insult to merely bad comedies. Gee, another movie with a fast-talking, potty-mouthed, black guy (hello Eddie Murphy) who, because it's perfectly fine in ultra-lib, pc Hollyweird, calls Charlie Sheen (and everyone else who is not Black) a host of nasty, racially-oriented names. The movie is a mess. Let's see. The protagonist (Tucker) plays a con men who after being falsely suspected of being a cop-killer, is chased around by cops and the bad guys. The McGuffin is a sack of diamonds. Sheen is supposed to be a co-star, but like most of his other movies, he sleepwalks through it. Clearly this movie is meant to be a vehicle for Tucker. The sceenwriters were obviously making it up as they went along. First "screenwriter":" Hey Bob, what will we have Tucker do next? Hey I know, let's have a car chase and have him call some people some names" Second "screenwriter" "Hey, great idea Fred, I sure don't have any ideas". Apparently there are many people who think this guy is funny even though the movie is a rip-off of Murphy the Trickster flicks. Basically the plot is Tucker runs around dodging bullets and calling everyone a name. If that's your idea of humor, I pity you. |

| Money Talks is like watching Juice or Friday as in it may not have a chance in hell at winning any awards but it still a fun movie to watch. Chris Tucker is Franklin Hatchett who works at a car wash and scalps tickets to pro basketball games. Charlie Sheen is James Russell a self-centered news reporter who is use whoever to get on top. James does a report at the car wash in which was a plot on set up Franklin and send him to jail for a murder that he did not committ. Franklin gets handcuffed to a drug lord on the bus who is the mastermind behind all the murders that are taking place in the area which we find out is done to find some diamonds. The guy's name is Frenchy and he along with his partners in crime blow up a bus full of people to help get them out of jail and on the pursuit for diamonds. Of course, this incident has Franklin to take the blame. Franklin must now turn to the man that set him up. James decides to clear his name but wants to keep around for sweeps week. The timing couldn't of been worse as he is setting to marry Grace (Heather Locknear) over the weekend. Franklin and James spend a huge chunk of the movie running from cops (of which one is a dirty cop who is in chaos with Frenchy) and Franklin trying to get Frenchy and his sidekicks. Of course, James ended up being at the wrong place at the wrong time as a survilleance camera at a conveinent store catching both he and Franklin on tape as they were running from Frenchy who killed the owner and the camera. James now must also fight to clear his name, try to still get married, and help Franklin bring the villans to justice. Franklin did have some luck as he went to an auction of auto european race cars were up for grabs but one of them contained the diamonds that the villans were looking for. With the help of James soon to be father in law, he got the car and had possession of the diamonds. Just to be sure that the villians could catch Franklin, they kidnapped James and set up an agreement to meet the Colseium which turned into a war zone as Franklin was literally in the fight for his life. A gang, cops, and Frenchy and his group were out to get the diamonds. Thanks to James and some of his buddies, Franklin survived the mayhem. Both he and James got their names cleared, Franklin went back to work at the car wash, James got married and formed a friendship with James. Tucker once again proves that he is one of the most funniest man in showbiz as we watch him quote barry white lyrics and impersonate michael jackson. A must-see |

| This movie is so freakin stupid. Yes its funny...but so very dumb. Not good dumb; bad dumb. Terribly, painfully stupid. Funny at times. Best avoided or taken in small doses. |

| This movie is so funny. The plot can be a little dumb at times but Chris Tucker is what this movie is all about. He is hilarious. One of my favorite parts is when he is on the prison bus imitating Michael Jackson. I have watched that scene hundreds of times and I laugh my [...] off every time. |
