Easy Money

Larry Wilde, a slobbish nursery owner, is constantly reminded by his dying mother that he's her favorite son. On her deathbed, she reveals that she has left her entire fortune to him, provided he can prove he's worthy. This leads to a series of elaborate schemes and comedic confrontations as Larry attempts to inherit the money and keep it from his greedy relatives.

Easy Money was met with a generally negative reception from critics, who found its humor predictable and reliant on Rodney Dangerfield's trademark observational comedy without much substance. Audiences, however, found amusement in the slapstick and Dangerfield's performance, leading to a moderate box office success.
