Amazon.com: With only a few exceptions (the Back to the Future series and a couple of others), Michael J. Fox has been unable to translate his TV success into movie stardom. It may just be a poor choice of material, such as with this limp Barry Sonnenfeld comedy about a New York hotel concierge trying to save up for his own hotel. What's he saving? The massive tips he gets from hotel guests for whom he does all manner of favors. But his conscience is tested when he falls for the mistress of one of his wealthiest clients and finds he must choose between his integrity and his dream. Fox is appealing, and so is Gabrielle Anwar, as the woman who changes him. But neither can rescue this slow-witted gloss on The Apartment. And what is Sonnenfeld, the stylish director of Men in Black and Get Shorty, doing with this dog? --Marshall Fine
wonderful chick flick For some reason I have an obsession with romance but this movie was great. The chemistry between both leading actor(s) was great. when I am down I tend to watch it.
Cute Story Great chemistry between Michael J. Fox and Gabriel Anwar. They found a girl short and cute enough to be his leading lady. Doug is a hotel concierge who hustles his tips and saves them up to create his own hotel. He finds a rich sponsor who turns out to be a jerk two-timing his wife and young mistress, a lovely young working girl that Doug is also in love with. Do you go for love or for the money?
Cute story. Dated wardrobe but worth the watch.
One man's search to fulfill his dreams This is one of the films that I most remember Fyvush Finkel for. One would think that name would not be hard to forget, but this is one of his best in my opinion. Michael J. Fox has long been one of my favorite actors ever since the Back to the Future trilogy, and "For Love or Money" is one of the reasons why. He gives a stellar performance in this film, just as he did in Doc hollywood and The Secrets To My Success. I enjoyed watching this film over and over again since I first bought it some years ago now. It is packed with lighthearted drama and comedy that is sure to satisfy most anyone just looking for a good entertaining film. It is a very well writting screenplay, the casting is terrific as is the acting, and it will hold your attention right up to the end.It might not have won an academy award, but it is certainly worth a watch. I highly recommend it.
For Love Or Money I have always enjoyed all Michael J Fox movies. For Love Or Money has a good story line and intrigue throughout the movie. His playful character combines seriousness with some lighthearted humour similar to the movie The Secret Of My Sucess.
It is a good movie to watch after a hard day's work at the office.
The Secret of My Success - in a Hotel If you liked "The Secret of my Success" then you will like this movie. Working in hotels I find I have an added fondness for this movie. I would recommend this movie to anyone, especially if you are a Michael J Fox fan.
