Glatpoti It is so daring, it is so ambitious, it is so thrilling and weird and pointed and powerful. I never knew where it was going.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
betty dalton Working as 2 cleaning ladies at a federal bank that has to destroy old bills is asking for trouble. Diane Keaton and Queen Latifah can't resist stashing away some money that would be destroyed anyway. Will they get away with it?I love this feelgood movie about a "bankheist" while no money is actually been stolen because it would have been destroyed anyway. Jokes are punchy. Acting is frivolous and funny. The story is to die for, because who wouldnt dream of unlimited amounts of money to be grabbed for free!Especially for the fun and feel good factor I love this flick. It is like making a movie about being a kid in a candystore with unlimited acces. Adults still love candy but know best that money cant buy happiness but it can buy anything else !
Desiree I have to say, I wasn't very excited to see this film in the least. I didn't expect very much from it at all. I felt this film was strangely cast. I love all of the actors that were in this movie but I didn't like them all in this together. I didn't like the plot and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a comedy or not. So I wasn't all too thrilled to see this movie in the first place.After seeing Mad Money, my assumption that I was going to dislike it was proved correct. I was very bored, not amused in the least, I hated the characters as well as the plot all together. The plot didn't even make sense to me. I don't know if I missed something because I was day dreaming half the time or what but I didn't think it made sense. It seemed too simple for them to steal this money and I didn't understand how they were let off if they pretty much admitted that they stole it. Maybe I missed some major point in the plot but I didn't think much of this movie mad sense. Diane Keaton is one of my favorite actresses. I was sorely disappointed that she took this part. She is a billion times better than this role.
moonspinner55 Strapped upper-class housewife in Kansas City is forced to take a janitorial job at the Federal Reserve Bank where old paper money is destroyed; she gets an idea of how to reserve some of that cash for herself, and enlists two co-workers to help her. Haphazardly-conceived narrative is nitwit comedy one minute, heist drama the next. Diane Keaton comes up with the scheme, which viewers are hardly privy to (she buys a lock and looks something up on the internet); Queen Latifah warns her not to spend any of the money, but a few scenes earlier is seen enrolling her child in a prestigious school and offering to donate a large sum to the library. None of it coheres, and only the scenes set in the Federal Reserve building contain any visual interest. The three leads (Keaton, Latifah, and Katie Holmes) are meant to be portraying lovable losers looking for a break, but all we can see is that they are greedy mercenaries. *1/2 from ****
Nick Damian Diane Keaton...well, either I'm getting old - or she's getting better.Heck, in some shots; she even looks hot - like a MILF...if you don't know what that means, look it up.Anyway, it was entertaining for the most part and I think that Ted Danson's role was good, but small.While he has had a decent career, it has never been huge outside of Cheers; however he always does a great job of portrayal and in this movie, I feel he outshines the rest of the major players.Entertaining and even funny to some degree with a life lesson.Don't get greedy.Do I feel that stealing money from the MAN is wrong? Not after the last few years of just stuff going so wrong.If the government can mess you around - well it's high time to reapply the rules to work for you.
