★ 6.6 · 655 ratings on TMDB
You don't have to be crazy to blow 30 million dollars in 30 days. But it helps.
Monty Brewster, an aging minor-league baseball player, stands to inherit $300 million if he can successfully spend $30 million in 30 days without anything to show for it, and without telling anyone what he's up to... A task that's a lot harder than it sounds!

The emergence reading
Brewster's Millions keeps every mind human — it fights its subject at zero distance. The story fights on E8/E10/E11 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing wealth, law, politics, greed, bureaucracy.
