Is Other People's Money a good date film?
What do the reviews say? 180.159.121.247 (talk) 04:54, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
 * You can type "Other People's Money" and the word "reviews" into Google faster than I can. -- Jayron  32  05:03, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Are you serious? Did you geolocate my IP? This is what a reference looks like. 180.159.121.247 (talk) 10:46, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
 * See, that wasn't so hard now, was it. Good luck with the rest of your research.  --   Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  18:47, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm no cosmopolitan love guru, but in my opinion, it's much more romantic to watch a movie at home. Cook her/him something nice, pop a bottle of non-cola and stream away. Theatres have way too many eyes. If it's a first date and too many eyes is a good thing, I suggest standup comedy. Laughter is good medicine, whether you're looking for "fun" or just fun. Also more intimate than a movie, in the totally platonic sense. Even if the comic sucks, you can laugh at him together. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:53, 29 March 2014 (UTC)


 * After geolocating and checking out that movie date (in the time sense), I'm curious. Is this movie just late to theatres there, or were you already staying home? I also just got why your geolocation comment made sense. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:58, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Rotten Tomatoes gives it 33% with the consensus of "unfunny". Roger Ebert seemed to find it good enough. No word on whether anyone has ever scored from it. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:07, 29 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Personally, I'd have thought that you could probably find something better. On the other hand, I once took a girlfriend to see the film Bound which - unbeknownst to me - contained an extended lesbian scene in the middle. --86.182.224.223 (talk) 20:16, 30 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Are we looking for a film that would make the "are you serious" attitude on a first date attractive? Or just an objective opinion of this film?  If the former, I am reminded of the poem For Anne Gregory. μηδείς (talk) 22:16, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
