Critics Consensus

A sloppy, poorly directed action-comedy, All About the Benjamins is too derivative and gratuitously violent.

Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 20, 2026 Funny in 1 hour and 38 minutes. Rated R for Strong Violence, Pervasive Language and Brief Sexuality. See more juan F @RT58647838 May 8, 2026 Ice cube and Mike Epps are funny af. Mike Epps girlfriend in the movie is hot. Amazing plot. See more Jordan S. @jswez Apr 19, 2026 Growing up in this era I am admittedly nostalgic for this film, but I was shocked to see a 76% popcorn. It feels like most of the 2000s comedies I see on here are vastly underrated, so I was pleasantly surprised to see so many people showing love.
