The Money Pit was released in 1986, and while the fashions and camerawork look dated, the basic premise hasn't aged- a struggling young couple suddenly find themselves without anywhere to live so they scrape up enough money to buy a house together.
However this house is suspiciously good, and it doesn't take long before it all goes wrong, and the house literally starts falling apart in a increasingly farcical manner.

Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, the hilarious duo of White Men Can't Jump, reunite for the buddy-action-comedy Money Train. Unsurprisingly, their obvious on-screen chemistry rouses the biggest laughs here, but Doug Richardson and David Loughrey's badly written script and the uneven pacing of the direction overshadows the picture's funniest moments, making this a rather forgettable affair in a long list of movies of the same genre.

Olivia is a single woman who is working hard as a maid in Los Angeles to scrape by on little income. Her three friends (and their husbands) , however are mega-rich ; the total opposite of Olivia , although each friend has their own problem. Basically this film is about a group of friends ; three rich , one poor , and you get an insight into their lives. That's all there is to the plot really.
Although there are only seven main characters in this film, I found that I couldn't connect with any of them. It had nothing to do with the fact that they were upper-class , just that as a viewer I don't think we had ...

DVD Description
Johnny Stewart (Damon Wayan) is small time scam artist who seems to stay one step ahead of the cops and two months behind on his rent. When he lays eyes on beautiful credit card executive Amber Evans (Stacey Dash), he lies his way into a job in the company mailroom to get closer to her. Unfortunately, the mail room pays less than he is accustomed to, and when he gets involved in a credit card scam with the company's head of security, he gets in more trouble than he bargains for. This action/comedy/romance was also written by Wayans.
