    This wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, considering I don't like half the cast. It was actually pretty entertaining.

    Funny and adorable.

    With a very heavy heart, I removed Diane Keaton from my favorite actors list about six months ago. It's been a long time, after all, since the glory days of Annie Hall and Looking for Mr. Goodbar. After suffering through Mad Money, my heart is a little ligh...( read more)ter, my decision to drop her even more justifiably confirmed, although I'm definitely saddened by the way her career has gone.

    Based on a true story . . . I live in hope that criminals like these will actually serve hard time in the near future. Atrocious acting and a stupid storyline -- true or not -- with a very hard ending to take, especially if you believe in things like the law.

    Why did I add this to my queue? For sure it was not because Katie Holmes, Queen Latifah, or Ted Danson tempted me to watch it. I guess I hadn't given up all hope for Keaton. But now I have.

    What a good cast; Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah, Ted Danson, and Katie Holmes.

    A upper middle class wife Bridget (Keaton)is in the middle of a crisis....she will be facing loosing her dream home, and everything else. Bridget is then forced to take any job with benefits that lan...( read more)ds her in a Federal Bank Reserve.

    While working at this Reserve Bridget meets two other eployess...one a single mother (Latifah) and another self medicated free spirit (Holmes). Bridget with the other ladies come up with a plan to steal money that will be no longer in ciruclation and destroyed. They then are rolling in the $$$$...this movie ended being better than I thought...not great but still a good movie to watch non the less.

    Hehe slatki filmic o potkradanju banke, a totalno stosno mi je sto nije rijec o nekim proficima i spektakularnoj pljacki nego o malim ljudima koji su kakti zahebali sustav. Diane Keaton je poput Robina Hooda, sredstva opravdava ciljevima i bez imalo griznje savjesti sustavno krad...( read more)e lovu koja je za otpis (uvijek savrseno odglumi te pomaknute srednjovjecne zene, ali u toj pomaknutosti opet tako savrseno normalne). Na zabavan i vrckast nacin pokazano je kako zlocin stvara pohlepu/ovisnost te da je lovi tesko odoljeti... ljudi naprosto brzo zaboravljaju na savjest u trenutku kada novac pocne rjesavati probleme. Malo naivan, ali na svoj nacin neoubicajen i zgodan filmic.

There's an old saying: 'I wrote you a long letter because I didn't have time to write a short one.' In the case of Mad Money, I'll write a short review because the movie won't sustain a long one. (It ... full review

This movie is designed to be fun, and its intentions are signaled to us over and over again, as when the women jump around on a bed, giggling and flinging old, dirty money around in a wanton display o... full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

This is an odd, disposable movie; it melts away as you leave the theater, leaving nothing but vague dissatisfaction behind. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

It's just OK, one of those decent little movies that get released in January. full review

Kyle Smith, New York Post

Holmes, with Alice Cooper hair and crazy Jim Carrey eyes, looks terrible and acts worse, unless this movie is unintentionally a lobotomy documentary. Whatever could have happened to her in the last co... full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

There is little suspense, no true danger; their plan is simple, the complications are few, and they don't get excited much beyond some high-fives and hugs and giggles. full review

January 17, 2008
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

Mad Money is a heist comedy that doesn't rip off the audience. full review

January 15, 2008
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

Mad Money opens with the sight of an enormous pile of hundred dollar bills, and that's roughly what it would take to make me once again sit through this dim-witted caper. full review
