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!System Requirements:Running Time: 104 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/COMEDY OF ERRORS Rating: PG-13 UPC: 013138000095 Manufacturer No: DV80000 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Mad MoneySorry, I can't review this product yet. We are living in Mexico (we fled) and my husband drives back and also gets our packages when he is there. he will be coming back with the mail in a few days. so, cant review at this time. Rating: - For Those With Eyes to See and Ears to HearI loved this movie so much I had to own it. I can't get enough of it. Every time I watch it, I see something more. The characters are so lovable & sympathetic. I liked Dianne Keaton before, but now I LOVE her! Here, she's become a kind of female Robin Hood. She addresses the human dilema of temptation. When you're desperate, & you see a sure thing opportunity staring you in the face, what would you do? There are many things to be praised here in addition to a great story, great ...

Rating: - FUN, FUN, FUN!!!A great cast delivers a fun, funny and suspenseful little movie about an upper middle-class couple that have fallen on their version of "hard times." Wifey (Diane Keaton) re-enters the workforce in order to help make ends meet....only to find that due to spending decades as a housewife, she is not qualified to do anything. Finally she lands a job at the Federal Reserve as a janitor...where she discovers, to her horror, that money that is deemed "old" is taken out of circulation and shredded. It doesn't ... Read More Rating: - Surprisingly complex characterizationI went into this movie expecting nothing but a fun chick-flick with a bit of suspense and action, and got it - plus a little side of mystery. The main character is not as straightforward as she first seems, and that pretty much makes the movie a notch above a lot of fluffy chick-flicks. It makes her more than a two-dimensional cardboard cutout, and gives her real personality. It also helps that all three of the main actresses did a phenomenal job with their roles; I give the acting two thumbs up. ... Read More |
