Review of Easy Money

Easy Money (1983)
a likeable low brow comedy
11 December 1999
There are times in EASY MONEY when this movie almost approaches John Waters territory, wherein Monty and family could possibly have just wandered on to the set of POLYESTHER, playing something like the relatively normal, next door neighbors to Divine's Francine Fishpaw and her porno theater owning husband. But essentially, EASY MONEY is a relatively sweet, harmless, and good natured low brow (and low budget) comedy about a man who must change his ways for the good of others, and a vehicle for master comedian Rodney Dangerfield to do his thing. While occasionally tasteless and very un-PC, EASY MONEY is, nevertheless, a likeable comedy, ultimately celibratory of unpretentious working class life (at the expense of the snooty rich) and good for some steady laughs. It's also worth it to see Joe Pesci do comedy as well as for seeing Jennifer Jason Leigh in one of her earlier roles
