Action Comedy

6.5 / 10

Brewster is a minor league baseball player. Unknown to him, he had a (recently deceased) rich relative. In order to test if Brewster knows the value of money, he is given the task of disposing of $30m in 30 days. Brewster isn't allowed to have any assets to show for the $30m or waste the money in any way. If successful, Brewster gets to inherit $300m. The biggest problem of all however, is that Brewster can't tell anyone what he's doing, so everyone thinks he's crazy. Add to this the fact that if he fails, two scheming trustees will get their hands on the money, Brewster's task is not an easy one.

Not only did he have to spend money but he had to end up with 0 assets as well. Most money you spend gives you something of value. That's a asset he couldn't have. Gambling you can end up winning more. Stock, you'd have to find really bad stock that really tanks. It's not easy to generate no wealth with your money. - @Tuesday, June 4, 2013 3:58 PM

In the plot of the movie it's explained that if he gambles over a certain amount then the inheritance is forfeit. - @Saturday, December 22, 2012 12:22 AM
