    Norman Jewison directed Alvin Sargent's adaptation of Jerry Sterner's off-Broadway satire of the excess of the '80s, with Danny DeVito as corporate raider Lawrence Garfield -- or, as he is better known, Larry the Liquidator. Larry spends his waking hours searching for companies to take over. One morning he comes across New England Wire & Cable, a company that has seen better days but is not debt-ridden and contains plenty of cash. Licking his chops, Larry hopes to raid the company and strip its assets. But the company's president, Andrew Jorgenson (Gregory Peck), wants to continue in the wire and cable business. For help, Andrew seeks out his daughter-in-law, Kate Sullivan (Penelope Ann Miller), a New York attorney who is as obsessive about saving Andrew's company as Larry is about destroying it. When she walks into Larry's office, Larry immediately falls in love. But they are adversaries, and they have to decide if love or corporate buyouts come first. This all comes to a head during a shareholder's meeting inside the factory, where both Andrew and Larry state their cases regarding Andrew's beloved company. Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

    Corporate Takeover Wall Street versus Traditional Americaby PaJoe

    April 06, 2009: Other People's Money is a morality play. Danny DeVito is superb as a Wall Street corporate raider who loves money. Gregory Peck is excellent as the CEO of a New England family owned and managed company who cares about his employees and community. DeVito, despite being a caricature of greed and outright vulgar at times is still likable and funny. The difference between the financial world of paper, computer entries and money and the real economic world that most people live in is sharply expressed. The speeches by Peck and DeVito at the shareholder's meeting are, at times, moving and raise questions not only about what makes America great, but also about human nature. Supporting characters are also excellent. Unless you are intolerant of profanity or Wall Street, you can't go wrong with this one.

    June 28, 2008: Takes basic economics out of the textbook and puts it on the screen with great acting, interesting plot, and romantic interest. I recommend the film for those people who want to understand more about the challenges faced by small business. The film is both funny and sad--a great combo. I just wished the main characters hadn't smoked as much.
