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. --Jayron32 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)
