Product Description:
Academy Award® winner Diane Keaton, Academy Award® nominee Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes are all in for the crime of their lives! Deep inside the most secure bank in America, three desperate women from very different worlds cook up the most unlikely heist of the century: Smuggle out millions of dollars in worn-out currency headed for a Federal Reserve shredder every day. Taking the cash is going to be easy but getting away with it will be insane! Ted Danson, Christopher McDonald (HAPPY GILMORE), Roger Cross (24) and Stephen Root (OFFICE SPACE) co-star in this wild comedy caper from the creator of THELMA & LOUISE about chasing your dreams, beating the system and paying the price for MAD MONEY!

Amazon.com:
Take three women in need of cash, a slew of money about to be shredded, and a plot that nicks a bit from 2005's Fun with Dick and Jane and you've got Mad Money. Diane Keaton stars as Bridget, a stay-at-home wife whose life as she knows it ends when her husband loses his cushy, high-paying job. Her college degree in literature turns out to be useless, so she accepts a janitorial position at the local bank. There she meets Nina (Queen Latifah) and Jackie (Katie Holmes), who could use some spare scratch as well. Suddenly, it dawns on Bridget that the bank has plenty of what they need: money! Because the gals are so cute and nice, it's clear they're not really going to rob the bank. What they will do, though, is take the old bills headed for the shredder and recycle it back into the economy by spending it. (Oh heck, they're basically stealing the money.) Played for laughs, the movie doesn't bother to discuss the economic ramifications of what would happen if too much money was recirculated, but that's neither here nor there. The trio of personable actors--particularly Keaton--does a good job of making the characters likable, even in some unbelievable situations. But Keaton deserves better than Mad Money, which isn't really funny enough to be a comedy and doesn't have enough romance to qualify as good chick flick. Still, Keaton, Latifah and Holmes share warm camaraderie. It'd be fun to see them reunited in a film that had a little more weight to it. Ironically, Mad Money was directed by directed by Callie Khouri, who wrote Thelma & Louise and Something to Talk About--movies that had all the key components (compelling storyline and characters worth cheering on) that Mad Money is lacking. --Jae-Ha Kim

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - I thought it was funny
I thought this movie was funny especially with the way the economy is in the crapper. Ok so maybe it was a bit on the unrealistic side but who really cares. It wasn't so unrealistic that it took me out of the movie. I loved the friendship aspect of the show and I liked the "happy ending" aspect as well. The characters were funny and I like that it was a "feel good" movie. We need a few of those. It had a decent plot and none of the characters were overly annoying. Its not going to win any ...

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Who is dumber - Hollywood for making or you for watching this unrelastic, made up piece of fluff
O.K I know Hollywood thinks that the viewing audience is mainly composed of the "great unwashed" and BASED UPON literally means that they have an open license to portray the plot in what ever manner they feel is advantageous to the producer but this one takes the absolute cake.

Not going to go into plot and sub plot both of which did not really exist, but am going to explode the utterly fabricated story line.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - NAME THAT TUNE
Hey, I love almost everything Queen Latifah does... but where was the comedy? This was more like every hard working person's fantasy! I thought the movie was ok... but Ted Dansen was so old and boring it was like time to go pee when his parts came on... all I want to know is what the heck is the title of the song Katie Holmes is dancing to while shoving money into the mail shoot - in the hallway as she waits for the elervator?
I like it... but can't find it nor the artist singing it.. has anyone ... Read More
