Fran Drescher is the nagging beautician girlfriend of small time hood, Dennis Farina. After a series of failed get rich quick schemes, including St.Christopher medals with moving lips, Farina and his pal, Leo Rossi, embark on a bigger scam, only to run afoul of New York mobsters. Fleeing to Los Angeles, they stumble upon an incriminating video tape, which leads to extorting a million dollars from some local politicians. The film is extremely uneven. The scenes with Fran Drescher are probably the best part of "We're Talking Serious Money", plus one funny scene in a gay biker bar. All of which, almost makes sitting through this very average comedy tolerable. - MERK

Although the small role Dennis Woodruff played in this film was brief, he was like a precious diamond in the rough and glittered as a character actor in his role of an F.B.I. agent. Kyle Haemig wrote a nice review as did the anonymous person too, but the best review was by Booker who really articulated the review so well, if I were a judge, First Prize would go to Booker with the others as Runner Up! I shall check and see if I can find other films with Dennis Woodruff in them no matter how small the role! I'd recommend this film also for the role played by Dennis Farina who became famous in "Crime Story" series on television which I wish they'd show re-runs.

I liked this movie because of Dennis Farina and Fran Drescher were in it, and it was before they became *really* famous..I thought it was funny when Sid and Charlie had so much trouble climbing that ladder, but other than that, it was pretty much standard fare all the way...I didn't hate it, and didn't fell asleep, but I didn't really paid much attention to it either.. so I would have to give it 5/10, see it if you don't have anything better to do.Recommended for fans of poorly made movies with okay casts.

I've seen a lot of bad movies in my time, but nowhere else have I seen such an incompetent mob movie. Can you imagine a mobster movie - these things involve lots of shootings and lots of catch lines by definition - where a)No shooting happens at all until the end, and b)The whole movie is built around $10,000. That's how much the characters seek, and probably the total production cost of the movie. Lots of pointless chatter, but has neither muscle (listed above) or brains. Watch it if you want to see the worst mobster flick of all time, or if you need a cure for insomnia.
