Damon Wayans (“Blankman”, “Celtic Pride”) and Marlon Wayans (“Scary Movie”, “Senseless”) star in “Mo’ Money”. This is a film that doesn’t know what it wants to be as it goes from being a comedy about con artists to being about corporate crime to an action flick. It was probably trying to be done in the same style as “Beverly Hills Cop” (a film that Damon had a small role in) but it just doesn’t work.

Johnny (Damon Wayans) and Seymour (Marlon Wayans) are brothers that like conning people out of their money. While pursuing a pretty girl (Stacey Dash “Clueless”) into an office building, Johnny ends up with a new job. He gets to work in the mail room where he handles credit cards. Now this crook is like a kid in a sweet shop but he doesn’t realise that his superior is a dangerous criminal.

Damon Wayans is somewhat likeable here as Johnny. Unfortunately, he’s just not that funny. Marlon Wayans is rather annoying but he does at least bring some energy to his role. Stacey Dash is forgettable as Amber. There is no real chemistry between her and Damon Wayans. The bad guy is just bland so he’s a big disappointment.

“Mo’ Money” has a great premise for a comedy film but it could be so much better. Some of the scenes are way too serious and the finale sees Damon Wayans hanging onto the roof of a car like he’s Steven Seagal in “Above The Law”. A lot of the more comedic sequences are underwhelming. One part sees the Wayans brothers pretending to be homosexuals while pulling a scam to get a diamond ring but it’s not remotely funny. It’s definitely not the worst thing the Wayans brothers have done but “Mo’ Money” never reaches the heights of their work on “In Living Colour”.
