Twenty Bucks
Twenty Bucks is the story of a $20 bill, from its birth at an ATM to its final shredding at the bank, and the lives it touches along the way. Among those passing the buck are a prophetic bag lady (Linda Hung, The Year of Living Dangerously), an about-to-marry-rich working stiff (Brendan Fraser, The Mummy), a New Age witch (Gladys Knight), a struggling writer (Elizabeth Shue, Leaving Las Vegas), a distracted cop (William H. Macy, The Cooler), a well-mannered stick-up artist (Christopher Lloyd, The Addams Family) and a hot-headed conman (Steve Buscemi, Big Fish). And while they may be strangers to each other, they do have one thing in common. When they passed the buck, they never expected change.

This movie is kinda fun, in the sense that it's basically a bunch of short stories the beauty is in how they converge once and a while.
All kinds of great actors playing interesting characters getting caught up in interesting scenarios.
I saw this movie on the IFC channels years ago, and have been wanting to check it out again ever since. You, should check it out now.Mildy entertaining at best - anonymously
This movie was slightly worse than ok. I'm not going to rehash the plot, because Zip provides a summary for you, so I'm just going to stick with my ractin to the movie.
This movie was made in 1993 and it certainly feels like it. While there are plently of fantastic movies that came out in the early 90s, this movie has an air of....cheesiness that is unique to the 80s and early 90s. It really lacks that timeless quality, though this may have been more enjoyable in a time where shows like Full House and Family Matters were THE shows to watch TGIF Fridays. There are definitely some redeming qualities to the movie though, in particular the teaming up of Christopher Lloyd and Steve Buschemi as two robbers/drifters looking to make a quick buck. These were definitely the best scenes in the movie. It was also fun seeing a young Jeremy Piven as an unsuspecting store clerk who comes face to face with the two robbers in one of the funniest scenes in the whole movie.
Despite the few highlights, I wouldn't recommend watching this movie with high expectations.Different - psychic
An interesting little movie.
Essentially follows the adventure of a twenty dollar bill from its roots in a ATM machine until its destruction.
During that time it lands in the hands of a great group of actors.
For me the best moments were when Christopher Lloyd and Steve Buscemi hooked up. I'd love to see those two together more often.
A subtle sense of humour permeates the whole movie (check out the stripper/undertaker).
Not for everyone, but some (like me) will find it interesting.
