It's very engaging (if you know what I mean). I couldn't take my attention off (you know those tiny breaks you take during movie). Nice.

Pretty good and smart.
The film begins close to the end of the story, when the suspects get caught and are interrogated. Then it flashes back to three years earlier and the film proceeds forward from there interspersed with occasional bits from the interrogation.
Three years be... read more -

I thought it was cute. Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah, and Katie Holmes were absolutely adorable together and had great chemistry. They made the story an Ocean's Eleven for the girls, sounds like such a chick flick, but I think this is one that most could actually enjoy.

I was surprised I could actually sit through this one, it looked so bad! Actually, it was a decent enough movie. I don't think I'd watch it again, but I enjoyed watching it once. All three of the actresses in this manage to lift it above what it actually is.

Perfectly palatable as long as you don't expect it to make complete sense. I never understood why everybody hates Katie Holmes so much, and Queen Latifah is a decent actress. It's really just Diane Keaton I have a problem with; she seriously can't act sans Woody Allen.

It's better than I expected it to be.
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
Speaking of recycling, this script by Glenn Gers reeks of it and not in a healthy, eco-minded way. Full Review
Mad Money is small change that somehow manages to add up to a satisfying sum. Full Review
It's just OK, one of those decent little movies that get released in January. Full Review
It's just a lot more sane and tame than its 'mad' title would have you believe. Full Review
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
