About Money For Nothing
The story of an ambitious schoolboy, Gary Worrall (played by Christien Anholt), who sets out to make £1M during his half term school break! He is aided and abetted in this adventure by his school mate Brian Thurrock (Paul Reynolds). All goes smoothly until he meets the beautiful Lisa (Jayne Ashbourne) and he realises that life in the 'real' world is much more complicated than the theory in the classroom!
Directed by Mike Ockrent, Money For Nothing leans on a strong ensemble — Christien Anholt, Jayne Ashbourne, Paul Reynolds — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1993.
