Los Angeles Times Michael Ordona
Once the farce finds its stride, however, it's generally worth the wait.
Read Full Review >Variety Ronnie Scheib
Greif obviously ascribes to the Blake Edwardian school of comedy, laying out gags with commendable topographical precision. But, unlike Edwards' unique mixture of sophistication and slapstick, Funny Money falls squarely in the tradition of pure farce, itself an anomaly in this age of aggressively abrasive personality comedies.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Sheri Linden
The laugher about a meek middle manager who finds a life-changing fortune takes a while to hit its stride, but in its best stretches, it offers deliriously spirited farce.

Chris P. gave it an8:
Better than anything Chevy has done in at least a dozen years - makes good use of his comic skills in an esemble - rather than expecting to carry an entire film on his own.
PnArdy PnArdy gave it a10:
an excellent switching places comedy chevy chase style. The whole movie is about who gets to the million dollar suitcase first. It takes place in a single apartment where key characters constantly bump into each other and improvise. Loved it.
Chris B. gave it a5:
The critic who said it was "never quite hilarious, but always amusing" is just about right, although I found it more along the lines of a steady stream of boredom with an occasional laugh. I definitely wouldn't recommend this to any of my friends, but if you are a big Chevy Chase fan you might enjoy it, although it's no where near as good as any of his older comedies.
Jorg B. gave it a10:
This is a very good comedy and a great comeback for Chevy Chase. Two tumbs up!
