On the other hand, one fan, who was excited about the upcoming movie wrote, "One of my most anticipated movies of the year, can’t wait!" Another excited fan extended their support by adding, "We will be there day One."

'What a cast , take my money'

While many are concerned with the plot of the movie, on the other hand, the incredible and talented ensemble of 'Dumb Money' is getting the fans hyped up for the upcoming movie. One fan wrote, "I'm going to bet you money that Paul Dano is going to play a GameStop employee." While another fan added, "what a cast , take my money". Yet another fan affirmed their support for the film by adding, "Oh I’m in there ! The cast."
