Johnny Stewart (Damon Wayans) and Seymour Stewart (Marlon Wayans) are two brothers who make their living as con men. They make up a new hustle and find a new victim to get their money. Unfortunately they are not always able to stay out of jail. When Johny meets Amber Evans (Stacey Dash) he is immediately in love with her. In order to find the way to her heart he decides to get a normal job at the office where Ambers works.Mo'Money is a nice comedy. An attempt has been made to add some suspense to the movie by adding a story line about credit card fraud. The execution of this disappoints, which makes it feel tacked on and rushed.I like the humor in this movie and it's the main reason I watched it again. One scene in which the brothers walk into a dining and tear it up in order to get a free sandwich is hilarious. There are some other scenes which I also like (like the one where Seymour wakes up in the morning next to the girl he picked up the night before).Mo'Money is not a movie everyone will like or laugh about, but it's one which I like enough to have watched it again after not having seen it for many years.

This movie wont win any awards, get a fresh tomato on Rottentomatoes.com or be in the top 250 of IMDb(as if anybody cares what these stupid sheep think!) but it was still a funny movie and brought to you at a time when the Wayans Brothers were at the top of their game.Story: Johnny Stewart(Damon Wayans) is a hustler that plans on going legit after meeting an attractive woman named Amber(Stacey Dash). So he gets a job as a mail room clerk and ends up stealing a credit card and goes on a shopping spree with his brother Seymour(Marlon Wayans). A roguish executive finds out and extorts Johnny to do his bidding.The funniest scenes: every scene involving the beauty-challenged Charlotte is a riot. The scenes involving the lawyer that looks like a cross between Khujo Goodie of Goodie Mob and Rodney King is a hoot also. Damon and Marlon work well together on screen and generate the most laughs. Stacey Dash is great also as Amber. If you like to see the Wayans Brothers before they started making rubbish like Little Man than this movie is for you. Also recommended is the soundtrack to this movie.

Several years ago, I had a roommate whom I will call "Pat" to protect the not-so-innocent. He had a history of selecting the WORST movies. Schlock like Blue Velvet, Naked Lunch, and Wild At Heart. Mo' Money was another one of "Pat's Picks." It's a waste of good celluloid. I've seen detergents leave better film.The writing was sophomoric. The acting was weak. The "humor" was juvenile. A 12 year old would find this movie funny, but no one over the age of 14 could think it anything short of an insult.It might be worth the price of a rental for one reason and one reason only: Stacey Dash. I would turn down the sound and just enjoy that glorious smile, but then I'd miss her incredible voice. A little surgical clipping is in order. Blessed be the "mute" button.Beyond that, don't waste your time or money. If, like myself, you want to see Stacey, look for her in other movies... Renaissance Man, for example... Heck, even Illegal In Blue had some redeeming aspects that are conspicuously lacking in Mo' Money.

I was only 9 years old when the epic "Mo' Money" was released in theaters. Despite only staying in theaters for approximately 3 hours, I knew it was a movie that would stay in my heart for...more hours. Like 3+.When Damon Wayans said, "Mo' Money, Mo' Money, Mo' Money," the world stopped turning; if only for a brief moment. All was good in the world, and life itself seemed brighter than ever.If there was ever a second coming of Christ, Damon Wayans was his name. Thank you, Damon. You will always been my love.
