FUNNY MONEY Review | Dane Cook’s Shocking True Story! UNNY MONEY: THE DANE COOK STORY is a gripping and surprisingly emotional documentary about Dane Cook’s extraordinary rise to fame—and the devastating betrayal that nearly destroyed everything he had built.

Directed by Brett Harvey, the film reveals how Dane’s half-brother and former business manager, Darryl McCauley, stole at least $12 million from him. Through candid interviews, archival footage, family photographs, financial evidence and chilling recorded messages, FUNNY MONEY unfolds like a true-crime mystery while remaining deeply personal.
