Mimi G @RT99295205 3 days ago As far as true crime docs go, this was one of the best of the year. It wasn't what I expected. Definitely worth the watch.

We all have our stories! Some people choose to share! Dane Cook’s 2000s rise as a major stand-up comedian ! The discovery that his half-brother business manager!! ….. well I’m not gonna spoil it for you!! this is nothing like I ever seen out of Dane Cook. You’ll laugh in a roller coaster ride full of emotions to watch him. Tell a true story of a life experience.!! See more Cinemondo I @Cinemondo Oct 7, 2026 ★★★★☆ Funny Money is at its best when it gets past the Dane Cook people think they know and into just how extreme his story really is—the massive fame, the vicious backlash, and the devastating betrayal by someone in his own family who stole millions from him. Watching him revisit those losses gives the film real emotional weight, but what makes it ultimately inspiring is seeing how he kept going and rebuilt his life when so much of it had collapsed around him. Funny, painful, surprisingly vulnerable, and a powerful reminder of how much resilience it can take to come back from the highest highs and the lowest lows See more Zach D R @VisuNews Oct 6, 2026 Normally in a documentary about this sort of thing you’d just be told by "experts" in the field that read news stories or legal paperwork, but in FUNNY MONEY you get Cook’s lawyers, agents, family and Cook himself. The filmmakers do an incredible job laying this all out using never before seen law enforcement documents and photos. There’s one photo of the stacks of cash from his half-brothers safe that looks like it’s out of a gangster flick. I’m not one that cares too much for true crime or celeb docs of this type but this film was incredible. The interviews are perfectly edited and beautifully shot. Director Harvey should be commended for the work on this film. The information and document reveals are something out of an Gibney documentary. This is a must watch for anyone who is a fan of documentary films. Even if you weren’t the biggest fan of Cook back in the day or bio-docs about entertainment figures - the film should be watched and discussed it’s one of the best of the year.
