Summary	Hilarious Comedy about Manipulation
Content	If your great uncle Joe is a filthy rich yet stubborn millionaire with a good chance of keeling over, would you brown nose and back stab to get a shot at his inheritance? Director Jonathan Lynn toys with this very idea througout this extremely funny film with hilarious results and surprise after surprise. It's uncle Joe's 75th birthday, and his rotten relatives fight each other to earn the slightest ounce of respect from him. But Uncle Joe surprises them all with the arrival of a sexy young English nurse. Highly suspicious of this woman's intentions, the relatives enlist the help of their cousin Danny (Michael J. Fox) who had always been in Uncle Joe's good favor over the years. While secretly jealous of the favoritism their uncle exhibits towards Danny, they realize he's their only hope in keeping the family fortune within the family. Danny reluctantly agrees to help his greedy cousins only if it benefits Uncle Joe's welfare. But slowly, he too becomes tempted by wealth, and like the rest, falls prey to Uncle Joe's crafty game of manipulation. In the end, who will rise above the rest in Uncle Joe's complex test? Absolutley hilarious with many laugh out loud moments. You don't want to miss it.

Summary	Brilliant Comedy
Content	Completely hilarious and clever script. Great performances from a star-studded cast. Watch for the director in the movie. He's the butler. A great story about family and the human condition tempted by greed and manipulation. Who's fooling who? You'll be kept guessing all the way to the end. Worth the laughs. Highly recommended.

Summary	One of the BEST comedies to rent or own!!
Content	From two great writers who worked on "Happy Days," it is safe to say that this film is one of the greatest comedies of the decade. It is a tad predictable, but beyond that it has a lively script and well cast performers. Great players gave great performances. This is clearly a comedy which also hit the right dramatic notes. Parts of the movie are emotional and believable. Any Mike J. Fox or Phil Hartman fan should see this. Kirk Douglas was a hoot. Nancy Travis as the lead actress was dead on. Her character was full of wit and charm, despite a bad hair day. Watch for strong performances by all.

Summary	Greedy gets my funny bone everytime!
Content	Just a great comedy with wonderful chemistry between Fox and Douglas. For Michael J. Fox fans this is the opportunity to see Alex P. Keaton lose sight of his morals and get sucked into a game of greed and fortune (or misfortune). One problem with the film is the unnecessary extended birthday suit scene of Fox, it just seemed excessive and out of character. Probably the biggest personal factor for me is having a family member with a supposed "fortune" that she dangled and teased before other family member's eyes in some of the most ludicrous games I have witnessed. Greedy captures that perfectly and shows how low people can let themselves go when it comes to money.

Summary	Outstanding comedic acheivement!
Content	This picture reminds me of the movie Greedy. It's a real funny movie and I laughted at all the real funny jokes. If you like really funny movies, then this one will make you laugh alot. Michael J. Fox is really great in his role and I think he is about the funniest actor. All the others actors are funny too, except it's sad that Phil Hartman got killed, that's not very good. I think if you like to laugh and have fun, then this movie is absolutely too funny for words. Go see it for yourself. I don't think some movies are quite as funny as this one though. Joshua
