Easy Money

Easy Money: Joy

(1983)

Here's a film that I've always liked, why because it always brought me joy. Rodney Dangerfield is funny as hell. The story about Rodney who drinks, gambles and does drugs. His best friend is Joe Pesci...Yeah sounds good right?...It really is! His daughter is about to get married to a guy Rodney doesn't like. Rodney also doesn't like his mother in law, who pops in for the wedding. She is very rich and her and Rodney DON'T like each other! One night he gets a call saying the mother in law died. In the will, she states Rodney gets nothing unless he STOPS drinking, loses weight, gambling and doing drugs. Rodney must pick between the life he only knows or all the money a person could want.

"Yeah, well you where the inspiration for twin beds." 

Im gonna stop there, because some great surprises in the plot come up that you need to see and not read. 

"Why dont you two put your heads together and make an ass outta yourselves." 

The ending is one of my top 10 endings in movies. As a viewer it hits you and it just works. That's all I will say on that, watch it because its a good film! Have a Rodney Dangerfield weekend you won't be disappointed.
