(1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 20% Rotten Page   1   "Because I couldn't understand how the betting advisory business depicted in 'Two for the Money" operates, the movie didn't always work for me."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker C "Like the insurance policies they are, McConaughey, Pacino, and Russo save Two for the Money from swallowing itself in cliché and misplaced passion."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "Maybe Al Pacino is losing his satanic touch."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs C- "Ends up as a push."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz C+ "Completely forgettable except for Pacino, whose performance can be admired for being 'interesting,' if not actually 'good.'"   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "Does earn its place amongst the list of films that understand what gambling is and how the downs of it may just be the up."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress 2/4 "...[a] stylish yet anemic gambling drama. In short, Money is about as bankable as a defective slot machine in search for its own payoff."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C "For the first hour or so generates some heat, but at about the halfway point it fumbles badly and never recovers. Neither wins, places nor shows."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "A morality play about the pervasiveness of sports gambling in America."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/4 "Original screenwriting gives way to clichés, and the resolution, while offering closure, seems false -- too much a case of the filmmakers wanting to have their cake and eat it, too."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 5/10 "...a decent yarn, but we’ve seen it all before and done much better and more interesting at that. In other words, been there…done that."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 2/4 "Pacino is a one-man three-ring circus, blustering, capering, cursing, raging and weaseling his way through this predictable morality play like a trickster Satan on speed."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "Pacino ain’t Satan this time around, he’s just Pacino doing his Al Pacino imitation..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson B- "The fun of this movie is seeing Pacino dive into the part and hang on for dear life, though the storyline zigzags from inconsistent to makes-no-sense-ville."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/4 "Like Barry Sanders rushing for 200 yards in a losing effort, an overacting Pacino saves the sluggish film from being unwatchable."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2/5 "Gilroy loads up his script with more junk than a portly teenager at a TCBY toppings station"   Filmcritic.com   Pete Croatto C "In the end, I found that I simply didn’t care."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3.5/5 "Pacino's performance is only a few degrees shy of full-bore scenery-chewing, but the veteran actor stomps through this movie like a small Italian Godzilla."   DVDTalk.com   Scott Weinberg 1.5/4 "What do blackjack tables and Al Pacino movies have in common? They each encourage you to gamble with your money."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell 3/10 "Why did this dull, banal, boring movie get made? Rene Russo's husband wrote the script and Morgan Creek must have called in favors."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger Read review   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline  (1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 20% Rotten Page   1
