Greedy (1994)

Greedy is a 1994 comedy directed by Jonathan Lynn. I really found the story line interesting. It’s the first movie I’ve ever seen dealing with the issue of inheriting money. The themes are money, deception and finally real love, as displayed by the ailing man’s desire to have someone love him for him and not his money. With the witty dialogue and goofy scenes it is a perfect fit for a comedy. The acting is great and includes a fun cast including Kirk Douglas, Michael J. Fox and the late Phil Hartman. It is culturally significant because it gives the viewer an inside look at what money can really make people do. It addresses a broad demographic, but not intended for younger children, due to the bad language.
