pretty funny movie, but the ending was terrible (spoilers)


the movie ends with him living his whole life kissing the mother in law's ass and living a double-life? i don't think he had a good relationship with the family to begin with, but at least at the start he could be himself around his family.

if my wife was that alright with what her mother did and not minding at all that the mother moved in at the end i'd dump her ass in a second.

Yes but you are forgetting that in the movie, Rodney was sucking up to his mother in law for the money.
Thanks for the memories Rodney!

reply

Exactly!



" my mother in law....for years I wouldn't kiss her face, I ended up kissing her ass" Sorry, that's an awesome ending line to me!

Rodney we will miss you!

reply

Rodney hadn't changed, just made the mother-in-law THINK he did. His family knows the truth (notice the young daughter roll her eyes when he gets up from dinner to "walk off all those vegetables and go to bed early."

I think the ending was wonderful because.......

THEY GOT THE MONEY ON OCTOBER 13th!!!! MY BIRTHDAY!!!!

wish it was me getting the money. ROFLMAO!!

reply

Dude! That's MY birthday too. Not only that, I saw it on my 9th birthday because our mom would always take us to a movie on our birthday, even if it was a school night. Those were the days, when a nine year old boy's mom would take him to a Rodney Dangerfield movie on his birthday.

The final dinner scene has to be a homage to another old classic comedy with WC Fields, ''The Bank Dick.'' Once you are familiar with the final dinner scene in The Bank Dick...this particular ending in Easy Money becomes a real riot!! Great film---perhaps Rodney's best (and Joe Pesci and Jeffrey Jones added a lot to it).

Monty and his wife should have been furious with her mother for faking her death.

He wanted to retire. He's willing to lie a little.
