 Worth the Money January 2, 2009
OK, my opinion is that this is one the best of the Martin and Lewis movies. And much better than many of Lewis' own later films. There are no dull spots; the songs are not too long, all are entertaining and most are funny; Lewis is both ridiculous and clever, and as in "The Caddy" he comes across as sympathetic and talented. There are no moments of attempted pathos. The supporting case is excellent, the ensemble work is first class and the timing between actors is much fun to watch. The only disappointment is that the climactic chase-and-race is not as gag-driven as it should be, and keeps losing momentum. Other than that, the movie consistently proceeds at a good clip, and no fast-forwarding is necessary. Martin and Lewis work perfectly with each other, and their teamwork reminds me a lot of their sketches in the Colgate Comedy Hour. Everyone in the movie seems to be having a very good time, and as you watch it you will too. I wish I could give it four and-a-half stars, but the rating isn't available! Excellent restoration.
 My absolute favorite movie EVER November 3, 2008
My #1 favorite movie of all time. I'm a huge Dean Martin fan, and this movie cemented it for me. They just don't make guys like that anymore. The movie offers lots of quotables, like "ha ha and ho - that's a jolly notion" and is, that I've ever found, the **only place** to find Dino singing "I Only Have Eyes for You." I am so very happy it's finally out on DVD!
 Just Okay October 5, 2008
I've waited a long time to finally see this movie, and I was a little disappointed, the relationship between Martin a Lewis seemed strained. No "set" pieces that usually have me falling off my chair. Having said that, I'm a huge fan and I enjoyed it.
Money From Home, Been Waiting, Well Worth the Wait September 29, 2008
I am a huge Martin & Lewis fan and before Paramount became so gracious and began to release these classic films, I had copies I taped off of AMC & TCM and actually have all 16 M & L's on personal VHS, but finally Paramount got off their rears and released films 1-2 & 4 through 9 in M & L volume 1, as At War With the Army is in public domain, then in volume 2 I was awaiting more than anything, Money From Home, and it wasn't in the set, neither was 3 Ring Circus?! That really bothered me because I thought Paramount was going to complete the series...well thank GOD they allowed LEGEND, through their own distribution to release Money from Home, and the transfer is PERFECT, the film is top notch technicolor & beautiful Marjie Millar & Pat Crowley are stunning mates for our 2 heroes Dean & Jerry...The great Damon Runyon characters are alive and well in this one, No Knees Nolan, Jumbo Schneider, Fat Phil, The Seldom Seen Kid, etc., a must see for all Martin & Lewis fans, and fans of classic comedy...Dean Croons perfectly & Jerry does a bang up job in his Cyrano impression, in this their 1st ever Color film, originally shot in 3D.
If you get the chance, buy this DVD, you'll laugh...So, Do me Something!?
Finally galloping onto DVD! September 24, 2008
I used to catch "Money From Home" all the time on TV when I was a kid, and it still hasn't lost its punch. Martin & Lewis' first film in color sparkles on the screen, and is downright hilarious. MFH captures the duo at the crest of their success, and before tensions between them arose later that year (1954).
Rumor has it that it was excluded from the official Martin & Lewis Collection because Damon Runyon's estate refused permission to use it. I'm glad it finally got its release, even if it's sold separately from the collection.
Now...please, please, PLEASE put the missing "Three Ring Circus" on DVD for us to enjoy!
