Description: A symphony of excess, 'Greedy' (1994) isn't just a comedy; it's a biting satire of wealth, family, and the corrosive nature of unchecked ambition. The film masterfully uses its over-the-top characters and situations to expose the ugly underbelly of privilege, leaving the audience questioning the true cost of chasing fortune. While the humor is undeniably broad, it’s punctuated by moments of genuine pathos, revealing the loneliness and emptiness that often accompany immense wealth. The performances are deliciously exaggerated, playing perfectly into the film's satirical bent. Ultimately, 'Greedy' is a surprisingly poignant exploration of human nature, a cautionary tale wrapped in a visually opulent and laugh-out-loud funny package. It's a forgotten gem deserving of rediscovery, a film that stings even as it tickles your funny bone. 90s comedy gold.
