He is transferred to a nursing home, in the care of Carol Ann McKay (Linda Fiorentino), a high school prom queen who married her boyfriend Wayne (Dermot Mulroney), the star of her school's football team, and whose glamour days are well behind her. After a few of her personal effects mysteriously disappear, Carol Ann starts to suspect that Henry isn't as sick as he seems, and she and Wayne are soon working with Henry to plan his last and greatest score. The title comes from the remark attributed to the outlaw Willie Sutton, who when asked why he robbed banks, replied, "Because that's where the money is." ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Lou Lumenick, New York Post

Not remotely in the same league with Newman's last caper film, The Sting. But then, it doesn't need to be.

Where the Money Is takes Newman's master thief to new triumphs. Full Review

Amy Taubin, Village Voice

Paul Newman idles gracefully through Where the Money Is, a caper film hardly worthy of his presence. Full Review

Catch it on cable sometime, and enjoy.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Where the Money Is has a preposterous plot, but it's not about a plot, it's about acting. Full Review

Steven Rosen, Denver Post

Overall, the story is more old hat than 'cool hand' for Newman. But it has its pleasures. Full Review

Richard T. Jameson, Mr. Showbiz

Paul Newman's co-star never really interacts with him -- and their marriage is seriously underwritten, a fatal weakness toward the end.

Peter Stack
January 1, 2000
Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle

A forced, implausible flick that loses its energy as it tries to gain momentum. Full Review

Bruce Newman

Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News

The rhythmic cha-cha of conflict - resolution - conflict - resolution gives Where the Money Is the feel of something written with Newman's Own Script-writing software.

Lisa Schwarzbaum

Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

Age has pared Paul Newman's fine features to a sketch; it's also honed his huge movie appeal to such basics that he can pretty much maintain our attention while in a coma. Full Review
