Predictably Bad
nebk10 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Money Plane is a predictably bad movie about a crew of crooks who are forced to engage in one last job robbing the money plane for a crime boss. This plane is a flying casino on which top criminals bet on everything including Russian roulette, people killing eachother, how long someone will live against a deadly snake and so on, and as a result the plane apparently carries one billion dollars of cryptocurrency as well as cash.

This movie is ludicrous and makes very little sense in every way. The music is cheap and the story just plain bad. The runtime of 1 hour 22 minutes still had time for the main thief played by Adam Copeland to spend quality family time with the wife and kids and to have dream sequences as well in which he is dreaming about what his evil boss told him about not even 10 minutes earlier in the movie.

The fact that most of the team just managed to make their way on board of this almost mythical criminal plane is odd and you would think that they would have slightly better security. The sets are cheap and so was the idea of jumping out of the pasanger plane with parachutes when the heist is over. The plane also seems to have way too much space in the cargo hold. The supporting cast ranges from ok to bad and their dialogue is cringeworthy at times. The movie actually uses russian roulette for a comedy scene and it fails. There are a few amusing scenes such as an arms dealer and a human trafficker arguing about the morality of someone hitting on a stewardess but overall the viewer is left wondering why? Why would a bunch of the world's biggest crime figures get together on a flight. Why do we only see a few of these alleged top criminals? Why would whoever is in charge allow people they dont know onto the plane and why would anyone think this movie was a good idea in any way. A 2.5-3/10.

Very very low budget film
novak527314 July 2020
The story is actually a great idea but the acting is horribly executed. The actors must have worked for a hot meal. This whole movie looks like it was done by high schoolers on a $500 budget. Glad i didn't have to pay to see and sorry I wasted the time to watch.

Hilariously bad
pszeto16 November 2020
Yes.. The other reviews are pretty much spot on.. Acting is horrible.. They try but the script and dialogues are terrible. Set design looks like someone's basement.. For a plane that looks that big when taking off, the inside is so noticeably incorrect.. Production values are so low you will have to see through.. But with some drunken friends.. Kelsey Grammer can do better. Thomas Jane did the best he could.. (see him in The Expanse for some fine acting).. Denise Richards.. well what can you do...whole movie looks like it was filmed with an iPhone.. Soundtrack from the 80s.. . Lol.. Luckily it's only 1hr 22min.. Good luck through the first 10 minutes!

Remarkably horrible
blamdrum4 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
My first concern was perhaps Kelsey Grammer was back to snorting mountains of cocain and spent all his "Frasier" money on drugs and needed some quick cash. Then I thought, maybe he was dining somewhere, and started chocking on undercooked chicken and one of the Lawrence brothers saved him with the heimlich maneuver, and he felt obligated to be in this movie.

Regardless, the real story is how...or why this movie was made? Did someone lose a bet? Extortion?

The more I think about the circumstances around the idea and production of this movie, the more obsessed I become with wanting to know more in why it was made.

Maybe it was an investment to avoid paying taxes? That seems like a reasonable explanation. Maybe someone is in a "Brewster's Millions" situation and needed to blow money quickly.

We may never know.

By the way don't watch this movie. Go for a walk, read a book, hyperventilate into a bag and pass out in a truck stop bathroom. All these are better uses of time.

I had a stroke from all the cringe
xjustinwadex26 September 2020
I love Kelsey Grammer. But this movie is so odd. After seeing the Drew Gooden review, I decided to watch it. I loved the parts when they said the title of the movie "money plane, money plane and money plane." But this is awful. If you like movies that are awkward and uncomfortable, then you'll love this. It's not even trying to be ironic. It's just that lame. There are plenty of talented people who get their scripts denied. So to this movie got not only greenlit but actually made makes me have no faith in Hollywood. Fire who greenlit this movie.

Dont bother !! Shocking acting. Poor ol Frasier, he was ok, but has obviously at the low point in his career to accept this weak story line... Shocker...

Potential Cult Classic
jeremysmontana3 September 2020
Ha Ha Ha!!!

Such a nice surprise to find a face value 2nd rate flick that doesn't try to be a an oscar worthy creation. Was splendid to see Kelsey Grammar. The rest of the cast are well fit for their roles.

Bottom line, I had low expectations for this movie and was surprisingly entertained throughout.

Peace!

The Room of the 2020s
MissSimonetta29 January 2023
I genuinely don't know what to rate MONEY PLANE. It's horrendously acted, edited, and directed. The budget was clearly little more than a nickel and a fossilized wad of gum, and the writing is high school level, complete with the most baldfaced expositional dialogue I've ever heard. And yet, I was laughing from start to finish-- I cannot tell if this movie is just incompetent or if it's a case where the filmmakers are trolling the audience.

It's basically a comedy: four incredibly incompetent criminals are blackmailed into pulling a heist on the Money Plane, where elite criminals gamble and carouse. Now, the main characters are not MEANT to seem incompetent-- the movie wants them to seem like badasses, but they are so out of their league that it's funny. And what can I say of our villain, The Rumble? The man was made for memes.

It's not "Good," but it is entertaining. Would recommend this with a group of friends.

NO, just NO!
humanfranci17 July 2020
In today's times I'll just about watch anything out of boredom. But, this is simply an insult to the viewers intelligence. The acting is terrible, the story line lame. I have seen home movies with better production, direction and story lines. YouTube is an better option. In fact, watching a turned off TV is more enjoyable than this rubbish.

Would've been better with snakes
crashfire-314161 October 2020
Kelsey Grammar as a bad guy? Should've been the warning. Most of the first thirty minutes played out like a soap opera, and maybe because they have a soap star in it (Denise Richards, what happened to you??). Some dark humor unfolds on the money plane which broke up the monotony of a slow film. Predictable otherwise. I kept hoping for Samuel L. Jackson and snakes to appear and spoiler alert they don't.

Straight-to-Video Tripe
fantard12 July 2020
Do not be fooled by the presence of Grammar or Jane -- this movie is C-tier 'entertainment', through the through. The lead "sports entertainment" wrestler and now budding actor, is as wooden as an oak tree (parried by amateurishly unseasoned / ridiculously overacting cohorts); the plot is derr-dumb stupid; the seasoned "with" actors are merely serviceable (strictly in the context of such a rubbishy project); and the overall product is little more than an exercise in pay cheque accrual. Meaningless, uninspired rubbish.

The "streaming" era and the various platforms' esurience for content, has spawned an utter glut of substandard films from substandard 'creative talent', that reach a far larger audience than they should otherwise ever merit. This film as an exemplar of thus lowering of the bar. 3/10

One of the better 5th grade drama class productions
Top_Dawg_Critic10 July 2020
Clearly this film is B-grade, low budget - of which I'm sure most of the budget went to Kelsey Grammer and Denise Richards, written in part and directed by actor turned newb filmmaker, Andrew Lawrence. There were a total of 4 writers, for a story that was fairly decent and actually funny (not sure if it was meant to be). The acting by almost everyone including WWE's "Edge" wrestler turned actor Adam Copeland, was terrible. If felt unauthentic, forced and very amateurish. I'm sure the blame falls mostly on Lawrence's inexperience in directing his cast properly. A pro tip to all new filmmakers: you don't need a constant annoying and overbearing score throughout the entire 82 mins of film - of which was mostly louder than the dialogue. The poor pacing and annoying editing made it feel like a 2+ hour film. The sets were so cheese and phony - add the bad score and acting, is why I classified this as a 5th grade drama class production. I get that all filmmakers have to start somewhere, but attaching some popular names to a film, isn't as good as having just decent actors, a better set, and an assistant seasoned director that can teach you something along the way. I'd rather stumble on a non-big-name film and be impressed, than watch one because of popular actors attached, and laugh and cringe throughout the film. Nevertheless, still a fun bored-lazy Sunday popcorn flick from a newb filmmaker. It's a generous 5/10 from me.

Great movie.
migueldatcom15 November 2023
I've never been in a plane like this (I travel economy) but was able to grasp and connect with the plot and its mood.

It's a movie in a classic action-heist style that yet finds its own features to exhibit with its setups and payoffs, raising the stakes and providing action thrills despite not affording the most expensive special effects.

There are various reversals throughout the movie which keep it interesting until it meets its destination, so it makes for an enjoyable ride and even some of its mildly wacky absurdities infuse it with fun.

I think this movie relies on a mission to have a good time with the some underlying meaning it, so I can recommend it.

A FUN Lawrence Brothers Film
kevrod-6807221 March 2021
This is a fun flick. It's pure popcorn gold. The Lawrence brothers along with most of the other actors do a good job. Joey Lawrence is phenomenal in this.
