Ever since I saw Chris Tucker on Def Comedy Jam in the early 90's I was committed to see him in whatever he appeared in. "Money Talks" was his first significant role in which he wasn't a heavy drug user. From what I remember, that's the reason he chose this role and turned down the role for "Next Friday;" he didn't want to be type-cast. True to form, he was hilarious in "Money Talks" just as I expected.
