Net Worth is a very compelling story about 4 men in their mid-30's who make a bet to see who will have the greatest net worth after one month. The catch: they must all start over in a new city with no background, just $100 and the clothes on their backs. It's a marvelous exploration of how the men come to evaluate themselves and their relationships through this process of surviving as fish out of water. Most importantly, it never becomes sappy. These seem like real guys with some of the same issues as friends of mine, and the story feels kind of like "City Slickers" with an edge. Michael T. Weiss is riveting as Michael Winslow, a charming ladies' man. Daniel Baldwin is perfect as the smarmy stockbroker Robert Freedman. Highly recommended, and it will be appreciated by men and women alike.
This movie had it all - a great premise, plot, character development, believability, solid dialogue, and a script that kept moving forward. Very little wasted scenes that did not keep the story moving. Great Acting, a solid directorial job, etc. Every scene interesting. Every character interesting. One heck of a movie. It is a pity that apparently no one saw this film has whoever was in charge of promotion either 1) was asleep, or 2) had not budget to work with. I dare say that this movie is better than 95% of all movies out there. Jeff
I really enjoyed the way all of the characters in this movie stood by each other through good times and bad, for the duration of their time in a strange city with virtually no resources. I also liked the fact that it was hilarious in parts. Although this movie was also risque in parts, at least the sex was not gratuitous as in some other movies.One noteworthy detail in this movie which sort of reminded me of the premise behind "Clean and Sober" was Michael Winslow's struggle with alcoholism. I thought that Michael T. Weiss dramatized it very well.
This is a film with such an intriguing premise that I wish they had put more effort into the characters and story-line beforehand.It has a very capable cast who over and over again pull the film up to a higher level than its really earned. In the end I was moved and touched by the characters -- even while I was aware of being manipulated. But as I said, the premise is worthy and the actors are really making an effort.In the end it left me thinking, which is more than most films do. And it's always nice to see these actors in almost anything so there is definitely an upside to it.
