This lifeless film about Manhattanites' disconnected relationships during the dot-com boom follows characters in a style similar to Slacker with only the first two characters, a prostitute and john, appearing again in the last scene. Otherwise, the story follows various rich and poor and mostly uninteresting folks through unsexy love affairs which tend toward the cheap and disposable. Many viewers might wonder what the point of the whole thing is. The connection to the dot-com period is only obvious if one has read the film's notes or something about its plot. But Love in the Time of Money could just as easily be taking place now. There is one funny scene where Steve Buscemi, playing a terrible modern artist named Martin Kunkle, displays his paintings which all feature two triangles to an art gallery owner who is only interested in sleeping with him. But the not-bad cast can do nothing to help the predictable and TV-drama-like script. And for a film with a fair amount of sex in it, Love in the Time of Money is never the least bit sexy.
