Editorial Review:
-When deported gangster Mike Madigan (Cesar Romero) dies in Italy, the United States Treasury is particularly interested in the $1,000,000.00 that Madigan owed the U.S. Government but managed to take with him. This is when agent Jason Fister (Dustin Hoffman), the CIA’s most bumbling and idiotic agent is sent to Italy to his co-workers relief to find Madigan’s Millions. Will Jason be able to hunt down the million bucks and show his fellow agents that he has what it takes or will he fail and continue to be the laughing stock of the CIA? Find out by watching Madigan’s Millions!

Madigan's Millions Reviews:
It's something good to watch if your having a bad day 
2009-10-08 - It's good little piece of an early Dustin Hoffman work. I know others have not had the same view on it as myself, it's not Oscar material but it's something to have fun with. It's good and the price was right.
unwatchable 
2005-04-29 - When this DVD arrived home, I expected quality for the price. It's not that the plot was bad - it's not. Rather, it's a bumbling comedy and actually quite amusing in a clumsy Austin Powers set in Rome vs. Great Britain sort of way - if one could see the picture! As soon as the credits rolled, snap, crackle, pop! All scenes in mottled gray midnight. This looks dubbed from a VHS cassette that was overplayed. I could still see lines in the picture. This was made in someone's basement maybe. I don't know. The image will shimmy, shake, flutter and flicker and the audio is muffled. The film ran a little over one hour, forty minutes of which gave me a migraine. I returned this DVD and found a restored copy via Troma company and guess what? The picture was restored, the audio clear as a bell and about 30 minutes of deleted scenes! Now this movie makes sense. It's a silly romp, for Hoffman fans it's a neat flick to own. But, Passion Productions wanted a fast profit without working to bring this movie up to 2005 DVD standards. I can't believe it was even sold for this price.
Huh?
2003-09-24 - I found the exact same edition of this DVD brand new at a discount store for $3. When I got it home, the video was terrible, and there was no audio. The recording quality is the worst I have ever seen, and there are NO extras. Even the film description on the box is full of typos, spelling errors and incorrect grammar. There was not even a paper insert in the DVD case. This looks like a DVD someone made in their garage...and they want $25 for it? I have seen this film before, and while not remarkable it is enjoyable for Hoffman fans. That having been said, I suggest you wait until they re-release in in watchable form!
RAISING INCOMPETENCE TO NEW HEIGHTS WAS NOT THE PLAN 
2003-09-22 - When a deported gangster dies in Italy, the U.S. Treasury department is very interested in the $1,000,000 Madigan owed the government, but managed to take to Italy with him. They send Jason Phister to Italy to find the money. His criteria for the job is that no one would ever guess he’s an agent for the U.S. government.
Dustin Hoffman Rules!!
2003-09-18 - Dustin Hoffman rules as an american agent in Italy investigating the million dollars that is owed to the US Treasury from a deported American gangster!!It's a must see!!
