One of the worst movies I've ever seen

This movie is by far one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It's not worth buying it, let alone renting it. Even the cover of this movie is bad. It shows Sandra Bullock in the foreground but she only plays a supporting role in the movie. It's the man in the background (Jonathan Penner) who has the lead role. It makes me wonder if the cover was made this way just to sell the movie. Penner loses his job and starts his own business by making his own religion but it was done in poor taste. Even if you are a Sanra Bullock fan, there are far better movies than this one. August 18, 2007

A Fool and His Money

I saw this film for two reasons. First of all, the plot sounded interesting, and the second reason was Sandra Bullock. The story is about a man who starts a new religion in order to make money. It's a great idea, but it could have been carried out in a better way. As for Sandra Bullock, she only plays a minor role and it's far from her best work.

Overall, "A Fool and His Money" is an average late-1980s comedy. I didn't think it was as bad as the other reviewers, but also not great. Sandra Bullock fans may want to check it out, but be aware that she only plays a supporting role. The DVD has no special features and is pan & scanned (fullscreen). September 21, 2006

Worst movie ever made

Without a doubt, this is the worst movie ever made, in any genre, in any decade, by any movie making company since the begining of motion pictures. Who ever put Sandra Bullock's image on the cover of the DVD should be arrested for false advertising, since Sandra is only in the movie a few minutes, and isn't very good in her role anyway. What a bomb, and that's an understatement. Don't rent it, don't buy it, and don't ever watch it, unless you are completely without anything to do, and want to find out for yourself just how bad a movie can be. January 15, 2006

Whoa! This movie is bad.

WARNING! Do not waste your money or your time.

Sandra Bullock is not in this movie enough to warrent the packaging headling her as the star. [...]

The sound quality is really bad, as well as the lighting and if they used a script that too.

Run from this movie. September 17, 2005

not worth buying

Being a huge fan of Sandra Bullock, I bought this movie thinking it would be fun and cute like her other work. Nope, this movie is garbage. First thing I noticed was that the sound quality is extremely poor which goes along hand in hand with the poor camera angles and shoots. The acting is very bad and the story line is simply ridiculous. Over all, it's not a movie worth buying. August 27, 2005
