Danny DeVito was an interesting choice for a lead, giving the seduction scenes a perverse "Beauty and the Beast" quality due to this, but I do think that makes it more interesting - and possibly more accurate - than had he been a George Clooney type. Some interesting lines, and some predictable Hollywood speeches. The script accurately reflects the tone and values of that era and echelon, which marked the real beginning of vulture capitalism. I remember the backdrop of rising competition from Japan, against which corporate raids were pitched as "sink or swim." The famous line "Drexel's gone under. Milken's in jail. Trump's waiting tables" takes on new layers of meaning in light of the last 8 years. I thought Penelope Ann Miller was winning in this role.

Ignore the negative reviews, especially those by "critical reviewers". One of them even went so far to say the film has no humorous lines or scenes. Well, that reviewer and I must've been watching two different films because the comedic moments in "Other People's Money" are innumerable. The climatic scene of the stockholders' meeting is especially educational. Here we have two articulate arguments- one based on ideals; the other based on economic reality. It's not an Academy Award winning masterpiece, nor was it ever intended to be. Comedies seldom are. But for light-fare, uncomplicated entertainment, OPM is unlikely to disappoint.
