Lee Eisenberg I remember seeing Yves Simoneau's "Free Money" in the new release section of a video store, despite its never having been in the theaters. I thought it odd that a movie starring Marlon Brando would appear out of nowhere. It turns out that the movie got released in Singapore in 1998 (see the header about the movie on IMDb). As for the movie itself, it makes no pretense about being silly, with Brando as a sadistic warden whose daughters feign pregnancy to force their loser boyfriends into shotgun weddings. While Brando's role reminded me of his performance as Vito Corleone, it still didn't seem like the sort of role in which I would expect to see him. The rest of the cast is OK in their roles, but the plot is so routine that the movie isn't as entertaining as it could be. Worth seeing once.

eyesour Fargo 1996; Free Money 1998. Meaningless title. Something like the Coens' masterpiece weirdly reflected in a distorting mirror. Written on the hoof. There's the big Swedish-American boss man father figure, with a moustache; the crooked idiot son-in-law --- doubled up: stupid and stupider. Well, maybe the resemblances aren't that great. Perhaps this was all set somewhere in Canada. It does seem though as if Marlon had seen Fargo, and decided to splash out and do his own thing in the manner of. I don't actually regret having watched this, but I certainly would not recommend it with enthusiasm to anybody else, unless they wanted to gawp and gape at Marlon's exceptionally stupendous circumference. Like someone said: a big waist of former talent.Fact is, everything about this film seemed totally pointless, and it's difficult to know what to say about it. Ms Sorvino was straight up and rather good, and so were the ditzy twin daughters. As far as they went. Donald Sutherland was entirely unnecessary. Charlie Sheen appeared to be trying hard. His sidekick I've never seen before, but he was supposed to be another Swede (judging by his name and dyed blonde hair) and he was convincingly dumb, and permanently puzzled. I empathized with him. There's a sheriff called Knudsen, which is a Danish name. Some of the characters were speaking a subtitled foreign language --- French-Canadian? Other reviewers have explained the story. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

cozmiccharly1 I watched Free Money last night & it was the longest 90+ minutes of my life. With such an intriguing cast, I really thought that I was in for a treat - especially since I'm a Brando fan. WRONG! What a waste of talent. It's almost embarrassing to watch at times (like the cattle prod scene), & there were so many missed opportunities for humorous setups (why didn't they show Charlie Sheen's character going back to tow Brando's truck?) Ugh. It tries to be a slapstick comedy, but I just wasn't buying into it. Skip this one. Only for die-hard Brando fans.I'm giving it 2 out of 10 because I still think the worse movie ever made was Skidoo.

ndrew-1 Such great actors such a disappointment. Marlon Brando plays and awful character, the movie is not funny at all, a subconscious message can be seen "IT IS A DAMN CRAP!!!", "IT SUUCKS SO BADLY!!", "THROW YOUR TV THROUGH WINDOW", and so on. It is simply disgusting and irksome. In addition to foolish plot, sense of humor, there is something else. The way the rooms are decorated, the colors. It makes me sick, everything is so colourful that it might cause epilepsy. Usually I do not care about the decoration in movie but this from "Free Money" made me angry. Avoid at all costs! "Free Money" - probably for Charlie Sheen, Sutherland and Brando, but a viewer gets nothing! One watches it at cost of sanity.
