The official title of this ragged comedy-melodrama is
We're Talkin' Serious Money. Dennis Farina and Leo Rossi play a couple of Manhattan con men who make the mistake of shaking down a powerful mobster. Once they've realized their error, the unheroic heroes skeedaddle to California. The mob boss wants his 10 thousand back, however, and this spells more trouble for Farina and Rossi, who now must also contend with the FBI. Any laughter aroused by this fiasco is purely accidental. Serious Money might have remained unreleased indefinitely were it not for the presence of
Nanny star Fran Drescher in a secondary role. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
