Brothers Johnny Stewart (Damon Wayans) and Seymour Stewart (Marlon Wayans) are petty criminal scammers in Chicago which usually requires Johnny to do a weird voice. Johnny falls for Amber Evans (Stacey Dash) and gets a mailroom job at her office for a credit card firm. He starts using stolen credit card numbers. He is forced to join a fraud conspiracy led by the manager Keith Heading. Police Lt. Walsh is investigating a murder perpetrated by the murderous conspirators.

While Damon is cringey, it is Stacey Dash who is more annoying. She oozes high maintenance girl and is off-putting. She's not worth the effort. They're not fun as a couple. The Wayans are marginally funny. At least, they're family and it feels like it. Some of the other comedy really doesn't work. The plot itself is fine but I simply don't like the central romance.

Damon Wayans of 'In Living Color' fame wrote and stars in this reasonably amusing 90s action-comedy, casting himself as amiable lead Johnny Stewart. Johnny is a streetwise ne'er-do-well who's content to run scams with his younger brother Seymour (played by Wayans' real-life younger sibling Marlon (the "Scary Movie" series). Then he meets a girl: Amber (Stacey Dash, "Clueless") a drop-dead gorgeous employee at a credit card company. And he attempts to go straight in his relentless (and I do mean relentless) ambition to win her over, getting a job in the company's mailroom. But Johnny gives in to temptation and starts purloining cards and going on spending sprees, earning the attention of the corrupt security chief Keith Heading (John Diehl, "Stripes"). Now under Keiths' thumb, it's clear that Johnny is in over his head.

Wayans' script is really not that good, stumbling when it comes to its crime and thriller aspects (although director Peter Macdonald ("Rambo III") delivers decent action sequences). But its comedy content is often very funny, and very un-p.c. At times. The movie works best as a vehicle for its talented stars. Wayans shows some real charm, Dash is appealing, Harry J. Lennix ('The Blacklist') is a hoot as her stuck-up boyfriend, Marlon W. Has a lot of comic energy, and Diehl is an extremely fun, very overconfident bad guy. Joe Santos ('The Rockford Files') is solid as an investigating detective who's been trying to look out for the irresponsible Johnny for years. A couple of familiar faces have small roles: Mark Beltzman ("Billy Madison"),Larry Brandenburg ("The Shawshank Redemption"),Matt Doherty (the "Mighty Ducks" movies),Richard Hamilton ("Men in Black"),Salli Richardson-Whitfield ("Black Dynamite"),and Irma P. Hall ("A Family Thing"). Keep your eyes peeled for Bernie Mac ("Bad Santa") as a club doorman.

One undeniable, hilarious highlight: Gordon McClure as "The Reverend Pimp Daddy", an utter shambles of a defense attorney. And an actress named Almayvonne is priceless as a gal who ends up with designs on both Johnny and Seymour.

Basically, it's the cast that makes this one worth seeing.

Seven out of 10.

Damon Wayans first attempt at writing a movie script was a total failure. This movie was terrible. It had the looks of a low budget production and the script of a no budget production. Mo' Money was almost an extended In Living Color script; even the name of the movie came from an In Living Color sketch.

Johnny (Damon Wayans) was a starving street hustler on probation. One small time hustle after another caused his path to cross with that of Amber Evans (Stacey Dash). In his pursuit of the hot chick of the movie he ended up getting a job where she worked. She was already spoken for by the cliché, wealthy, stuffy, culturally out of touch, condescending boyfriend, Tom (Harry Lennix) thereby using the familiar but tired trope of wealthy = fake and poor = real. Johnny doggedly pursues Amber until she gives in to his charm. In another movie he'd probably been arrested for stalking and harassment but because he wrote the movie those two actions are considered romantic. While following Amber Johnny found a new way to upgrade his lifestyle. Of course that led him to more trouble and this trouble had deadly consequences.

Besides being largely unfunny, this movie just sucked. The story was lousy as were the various situations. There was a lot of hamming it up from both Damon and Marlon with very little good content. This was a love story at the end of the day and many of them are nothing more than fantasies on film and Mo' Money was no different.
