The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This movie was everything I thought it would be and wasn't-- all at the same time. Like the plot says it's a movie about the life of a twenty dollar bill and how it is woven amongst the lives of everyday people, but the movie presented this in a very interesting way. The bill does go around but we see it come back around and almost make it back to a few who once had possession of it. This makes the journey of the bill much more intriguing. Strong acting does this movie well too. My favorite scene was easily with Christopher Lloyd and Steve Buscemi as two crooks. Elizabeth Shue and Brendan Fraser's stories are sad, but we can relate to them as normal people. It is interesting how the director shows so much of each character's personality and background with so little screen time. Throughout the entire film, there are recognizable faces and none of them disappoint. Watch out for a enjoyable cameo by Jeremy Piven too. Two thumbs up for the director for reviving an old script.

Pretty good underestimated film, following a 20 buck note exchanging hands with the prosperous and pikeys alike! Give it a 5 stars for mongness! Good film to watch when nothings happening in yer head! Bad film to watch if your not a fan of Ross from Friends as he has a face like Cliff Richard, you'd never tire of slapping it! * Pretty good underestimated film, following a 20 buck note exchanging hands with the prosperous and pikeys alike!

This is a series of short stories, detailing what happens to people holding a particularly twenty-dollar-bill as it switches from owner to owner. Several of the segments are quite good, my favorites being with the holdup men: Christopher Lloyd and Steve Buscemi. (Now there's two interesting characters actors, for you!) It's not "familar fare"with strippers, profanity and the usual immoral messages that filmmakers love to give us. I was sorry to see that little old lady Linda Hunt use the Lord's name in vain. Overall, a decent "rental" but not a purchase. The cast is more interesting and deep than the story.

...marred by the presence of the odious, obnoxious, belligerent, irritating, hateful Linda Hunt who plays the part of a vagrant who pops up throughout the film muttering about her "lottery numbers". Unfortunately those wishing to see this truly horrible person die will be disappointed.
Elsewhere it's a well-constructed storyline which doesn't fail to entertain. Buscemi and Lloyd are a mismatched double act while Brendan Fraser plays a nervous groom-to-be well. David Schwimmer shows that he was never meant for movies - even in 1993 - while Elizabeth Shue excels as a budding writer.7/10
