Comedic Formula Pioneer?
Was Easy Money the pioneer for a certain comedic formula?
You know the one where the lead character has to achieve a certain goal throughout the film to win a big prize at the end?
Brewster's Millions (1985), Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore are some with the same formula.
To me this formula has a similar affect in many SNL actors films.
Murphy,Akyroyd,Farley,Spade,Mcdonald,and probably more.
I don't know, it's just a thought. What do you guys think?
