It's mildly entertaining. You can see some actors/directors working on their craft in this small, independent movie. A few of them go on to have pretty good careers. And this movie helped them along. It's not bad but it's not great either. Not much of a story. Just some characters showing what the night life in Hollywood in the 90s was like. And a guy trying to get over his ex-girlfriend. And some male bonding. Other than that there's not much to it. It's like a well made student film.

Jon Favreau wrote a fantastic script; Doug Liman directed a great flick; Vince Vaughn owned the film. 'Nuf said! OK, maybe a little more. This has got to be one of, if not THE, greatest indie films of all time. And, like I said, BIG MONEY doesn't make a great movie. There have been plenty of big dollar box office flops, but you can probably count on 1 hand (maybe 2) the number of films that were made for what equates to peanuts and still totally own every minute on the screen. This was an instant cult classic, acclaimed by critics, and it got the big-time attention it deserved later on. Mike, an every day "joe", broke up with his girl, moved to L.A. to be a comedian, and settled in to a long time funk. His "west coast" pals, some real characters (enter Vince Vaughn and Patrick Van Horn), give him all the right advice which Mike uses at the wrong time. His "east coast" pal (Ron Livingston) tries to keep Mike grounded. But, basically what you get is a train wreck in the love department, backlit by the glitz of Vegas and the back-alley bar scene of L.A. Anyone can relate to Mike and most of us have had moments like the other guys too. Just check out this movie. A review or summary just can't do it justice. It is intelligent, sappy (in a good way), relatable and HILARIOUS. Great soundtrack to boot.Read full review
Vince Vaughn (Trent) in a very classic movie that revolutionized the dating industry. Jon Favreau (Mike) is in still in love with his sweetheart from back where he used to live. They live in LA now and Vince Vaughn decides that he's going to show Mike a good time and get him over the girl that left him but that he's still in love with. Extremely funny and has some very classic lines and scenes in it.
Love this flick, totally money baby...
