💥 Money Plane Reviews

Personal Review

Okay, ‘Money Plane’ is definitely one of those movies you watch and then immediately question all your life choices. I mean, the idea of a flying casino full of crazy criminals is kind of amazing in a trainwreck sort of way. Kelsey Grammer is clearly having a blast being the bad guy, but the rest of the movie? It’s like they tried to make a serious action flick and a comedy at the same time, and both attempts failed miserably. Still, there’s something strangely compelling about it. I couldn’t look away, even when I wanted to.

Professional Reviews

• IMDb: “Despite Grammer and Jane, this is C-tier. The wrestler turned actor is wooden, the plot is dumb, and the overall product is an exercise in pay cheque accrual. Meaningless, uninspired rubbish. A film spawned from the glut of substandard films from substandard creative talent. Exemplifies the lowering of the bar.
• IMDb: “Andrew Lawrence as a first-time helmer, fashions ‘Plane’ as his dare to be the guy who lauds black humor. It’s a rabid, screw loose heist pic with various shifts in tone. Barring a sadistic sense of giving it its grindhouse all, Money Plane is like Ocean’s Eleven meets The Italian Job meets Snowpiercer

Audience Reactions

Loved how hilariously bad it was, perfect for a beer-fueled movie night with friends.: Most people agree it’s so bad, it’s good, making it a fun, if not intentionally funny, watch.

Kelsey Grammer’s performance was the only redeeming quality; he clearly enjoyed the role.: Many found Grammer’s over-the-top villain portrayal entertaining.

Overall Consensus: A spectacularly bad movie with a bonkers premise that’s somehow entertaining in its awfulness, especially with a group of friends and low expectations.
