You don't have to be crazy to blow 30 million dollars in 30 days. But it helps.
导演沃尔特．希尔以《四十八小时》等警匪动作片闻名影坛，本片是他其它风格的尝试，在美国上映相当卖座。男主角理查德．普赖尔，十年前以《银星号大血案》成名，至今仍是美国首屈一指的黑人谐星。此片中他扮演一个二流棒球运动员蒙弟，当他最穷困潦倒时，舅父的三亿美元遗产从天而降，只要他在一个月内先将三千万美元花掉就可继承，于是种种五花八门的花钱方法陆续粉墨登场。本片的故事犹如一个现代童话，对现代人的金钱观念进行了嘲讽，其中最有意思的一段，是蒙弟一掷千金参加纽约州长竟选，但竟选标语却是“谁也不要选"，对金钱贿赂选举的丑恶现象讽刺鞭挞得淋漓尽致。
"Brewster's Millions" is a rollicking American comedy directed by Walter Hill, released in 1985. Adapted from George Barr McCutcheon’s 1902 novel and penned by Herschel Weingrod and Timothy Harris, this high-concept farce stars Richard Pryor in a madcap race against a fortune’s quirky catch. The story follows Montgomery "Monty" Brewster (Pryor), a washed-up minor-league pitcher scraping by with his buddy Spike (John Candy). When a distant, eccentric uncle dies, Monty learns he’s in line for a $300 million inheritance—but only if he can fritter away $30 million in 30 days, with nothing tangible to show for it and no one clued in on the scheme. From lavish parties to disastrous investments—like backing a “None of the Above” mayoral campaign—Monty’s spending spree spirals into chaos, all while dodging suspicion from his lawyer (Stephen Collins) and love interest Angela (Lonette McKee). Famed for Pryor’s frenetic charisma, Candy’s sidekick hilarity, and a premise that milks every dollar for laughs, "Brewster's Millions" is a breezy ‘80s romp with a satirical edge on wealth. Hill’s brisk direction and a jazzy score by Ry Cooder keep the absurdity humming, though its dated gags show their age. Released in 1985, "Brewster's Millions" grossed over $45 million, cementing its status as a feel-good favorite. A zany twist on the American Dream, it’s a timeless chuckle at the lengths one man will go to lose it all—and win even more.
