Brewster's Millions

1985 · 97 min

A breezy, good-natured comedy of excess where the fun comes from watching money burn in increasingly silly ways.

Tagline: You don't have to be crazy to blow 30 million dollars in 30 days. But it helps.
Overview: Monty Brewster, an aging minor-league baseball player, stands to inherit $300 million if he can successfully spend $30 million in 30 days without anything to show for it, and without telling anyone what he's up to... A task that's a lot harder than it sounds!
