“For The Love Of Money” (** out of four) was a flashy but empty urban melodrama about a hard-working single mom (Keri Hilson) who becomes pushed to her limit when her daughter (Jazzy Jade) is arrested and turns back to the lifestyle of the streets to hold her over and make ends meet but this leads to complications and consequences as well. Best thing about the film is Hilson who is sincere and charismatic in the lead but film otherwise follows a much-too predictable pattern. Jason Mitchell, Keith Sweat, and D.C. Young Fly do what they can in cardboard supporting roles.
