Mad Money

Weirdly enough, this movie wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Queen Latifah plays the tough mother who cares about her kid. Diane Keaton plays the woman who's been well-off but now has to fend for herself in tough times. Katie Holmes plays the girl who likes to dance a lot and get into trouble. Callie Khouri (Thelma & Louise) needs a comeback vehicle bad and this isn't it. However, it managed to be enjoyable. It was sort of a waste of time for the most part, though.

THE END

::Oh No::

This solidified my opinion that Katie Holmes is an insult to actresses everywhere and should be banned from the silver screen...

::Ahh:: Okay, that being let off my chest, I would also like to express my disappointment in Diane Keaton...this was a God-awful performance that fit you like a clearance-priced extra-small angora sweater...Woman - what were you thinking!? (Dollar signs I suppose.) How do you sleep at night??

Remarkably, Queen Latifah saves this film (if one can even consider it worth "saving")

not worth the money

From the very few previews I saw of this movie I thought that it was going to be a funny movie with a great cast of characters. What a dissapointment. About half-way through this renter I told my husband that it was boring and dumb. It wasn't the worst movie I've seen, but with a great trio of girls as the cast of characters it was a bit sad for all of their careers.

Review - Mad Money (2008)

Have you ever wanted something so bad that you decided to just go for it? That’s just what Bridget Cardigan (Diane Keaton) decided to do in “Mad Money.”

The story centers around three women, Bridget, Jackie Truman (Katie Holmes) and Nina Brewster (Queen Latifah), who work in a high security bank. One day Bridget gets the brilliant idea to steal dollar bills that are going to be shredded anyway and use them to pay off debts. The problem is, once you have an easy thing going, it’s really hard to stop, especially when money’s involved.

This movie would have probably been much better back in the 80’s when this sort of plot was the norm. Not to say I don’t think movies like this should be made today, but it probably would have just worked better. The real problem with this movie is that ...
