The Office (TV Series) Money (2007) User Reviews

Money (#4.4)

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 3 January 2019]

Michael has money problems and takes a second job. Pam and Jim spend a weekend on Dwight's farm

Poor Michael, but his second job was a good idea and it was great to see the last scene of him and Jan. Her being so sensitive towards him and their relationship seeming to improve.

Pam and Jim's adventures on the Shrute farm were pretty funny. And added to this we have Dwight dealing with heartbreak. Jim was a great friend in this and it seems to have worked out.

Of course the episode had a lot of fun moments. Michael declaring bankruptcy and Darryl saying that he gets excited when Ryan comes into the room were my highlights.

Relationships Progressing

[stagewriter · 9/10 · 18 October 2007]

Minor spoilers.

This season is just going so terrific. This episode specifically, is just wonderful. Even with Michael's travails in this episode, the end serves to forward Jan and Michael's relationship. The Dwight/Angela/Andy triangle should serve for a LOT of fascinating twists throughout this season. Kelly and Darryl seem to hold some promise of maybe Darryl helping Kelly grow up a bit. And finally, WOW on Pam and Jim, I think we're all falling more in love with them as we watch them fall more in love with each other each episode.

Just a few continuity errors that were pretty glaring:

Angela specifying a restaurant with no vegetables? Jan throws her keys to Oscar in the parking lot, and in the next scene sets her keys down in the box car. Through the box car, we can see an old fashioned passenger train behind them, complete with seats. So, it is pretty clear they filmed it in a railway museum of some sort.

Money

I think we'll see a lot more stories come from this episode: Kelly and Darryl, Andy and Angela etc. It was great to see Dwight and Jim relate to each other, then again, it disappeared as quickly as it came- hopefully we'll return to the usual pranks next week though! The first few episodes of this season have been brilliant, and while Money didn't have as many laughs, the audience certainly came to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the characters. I think this episode showcased the creativity of the writers of The Office, and their creation of Mose, (Dwight's cousin?) has me especially intrigued. On one last note, after watching this, check tripadvisor.com for Dwight's Beet Farmstay. Fans have written all sorts of reviews and even uploaded photoshopped pictures of themselves at his farm!

and stagewriter, I think Jan puts down her sunnies in the train, not her keys (Don't mean to be as pedantic as the IT guy in the English version!).

One of the best office episodes

[tesherkup · 10/10 · 24 August 2021]

This episode greatly shows michaels sadness and vulnerability.

Masterpiece

[AnalyticalFilmCriticTheOffice · 10/10 · 17 February 2023]

This episode from season 4 is one of the best, if not the best.

It has great scenes and subplots outside the office as well as inside the office. It has great on it self scenes and mutiple very important character developments.

For Michael this shows clearly how his relationship with Jan is also not good after they got togheter for the second time. It demonstrates that while he wants to involve everybody around him in more superficial problems like a burned foot, he hides his real problems, like the money problem. The epsiode also shows that Oscar does care about Michael. At the end there is one of the only friendly moments from Jan, one of the only moments where their relationship looks positive.

For Jim, Pam and Dwight this episode is the first time they start to get along well together and care about each other. The beet bed and breakfast scenes are amazing.

For Dwight specifically in this episode he gets himself back together after breaking up with Angela. His formal attitude regarding the B&B is also great and typical.

Jim reflects how happy he is he finally got Pam.

This episode also starts the Andy and Angela relation, with is an important plotline in the show.

Furthermore this episode contains the famous bankruptcy qoute.

All in all an excellent episode.

9

[Edvis-1997 · 9/10 · 2 November 2021]

Well, we can't be surprised that Mich don't have balls to say Jan that he had enough. This episode just proves how weak Mich is for real, I'm not even sure why he's not fired yet,lol.
