The New York Times

Barry Sonnenfeld...proves that he does not need the Addams family to develop a wry, cartoonish atmosphere filled with funny, well-etched minor characters.

By Janet Maslin FULL REVIEW

Tampa Bay Times

For Love or Money is a featherweight romantic comedy that barely stays afloat, thanks to the effortlessly appealing personality of Michael J. Fox. [1 Oct 1993, p.11]

By Steve Persall FULL REVIEW

San Francisco Chronicle

The film holds no surprises. It's strictly by the book, uninspired and only vaguely sincere. But Michael J. Fox is not by the book; he is always genuine. Fox's charm, his comic ease and his genuine good acting manage to keep this mediocre ''vehicle'' afloat, scene by scene, to the end. I believed he was in love with the girl, even though I couldn't figure out why. [1 Oct 1993, p.C3]

By Mick LaSalle FULL REVIEW

Chicago Sun-Times

Take away the basic human appeal of Fox and his love interest, Gabrielle Anwar, and what you have left wouldn't fuel 22 minutes of a sitcom.

By Roger Ebert FULL REVIEW

Rolling Stone

It took four screenwriters to turn a potent premise into mush. There’s some compensation in a solid supporting cast, especially Fyvush Finkel of TV’s Picket Fences as the world’s oldest bellboy. But director Barry Sonnenfeld shows little of the wicked spirit he brought to The Addams Family.

By Peter Travers FULL REVIEW

Entertainment Weekly

By now, I’m not sure even Donald Trump could love a movie that asks us to get misty-eyed over real estate.

By Owen Gleiberman FULL REVIEW

Austin Chronicle

The movie sucks. It has an idiot story.
