Yes, it's true ..."Money Never Sleeps" but I almost did! What a yawn!!! I was quite excited to see this movie. I loved the original. But despite, the wonderful acting, I could care less about these characters. The original Gordon, you either loved or hated. You may have felt a little sorry for Bud. Maybe you were disappointed in Bud. Maybe, you were glad he turned against Gordon. Maybe you thought he was ungrateful. You had an an emotional response to these characters. Not so with this movie! Just a dull story line filled with characters that didn't impact me in any way, shape or form. Save your "Money" and stay home and go to "Sleep".
This movie was "pretty funny" but certainly not hilarious. It was entertaining; but with the cost of movie prices, can I say it was worth it? Yes...it was a worth the cost of admission, because it was only my husband and myself. If we had taken the whole family? Not so much! This is one you might want to wait until its dvd release if you are thinking about going with a family. On the upside, there is nothing that mom and dad would be embarrassed about watching with their kids. Nowadays, there's something to be said for that. Overall, I'd say a B-.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

We see Tom Cruise at his best. He is a little crazy in this movie so it's hard to tell whether it's good acting or Cruise being himself. Either way, he's quite funny in this action-packed adventure. He delivers his lines perfectly as does his counterpart Cameron Diaz.. I saw this with my husband and we both "laughed out loud" as did the rest of the audience. It's something light. There's not too much too think about except the "Day" in the title. But it's not a movie that's meant to leave you thinking so...who cares?
