Mad Money (2008)

Wonderfully offbeat film!

Excellent, a Must See

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Mad Money is a very fun caper/comedy film that I always love seeing over and over again! The cast does a great job! Diane Keaton was awesome as the lead role! Also, Queen Latifah was very funny and enjoyable to watch as Nina. Then there's Katie Holmes, who I really liked as well, I didn't enjoy her performance quite as much as Queen Latifah and Diane Keaton's, but it was still fun to watch. Ted Danson is also here as Diane's husband, Don, and he was good in his role too. That was one of the movies biggest upside, the cast. The script was well written and amusing as well. The whole movie was filled with fun, comedic, and amusing entertainment! There was even heart warming moments thrown into the mix. Romance budded between some characters, and it shows good healthy friendship as well. This caper comedy is just a really fun time, and I would encourage you to go and buy or rent it one night, you will not be disappointed! 9/10 for Mad Money.

I love movies that are done in this style. I think that the writers were very creative in how they told the story. This movie is about how these woman steal money from a government money shredding location. They shred the old money that is worn out and then send new money to replace it. these women find a very creative way to get the old money out of the complex and of course they become quite wealthy. I would recommend this movie to anyone looking for something that is entertaining and fun. there is a surprise at the end of the film but you will have to watch it to find out what that is. I gave this film 8 out of 10 stars.

I was expecting to start watching this movie then switch it off. Yes my expectations were low. However this little movie was great, not great art but a great pleasure to watch. I am no fan of any of the three leading actresses but they made this a joy to watch. Ted Danson (who I could never warm to in Cheers) impresses me with his timing and (in Damages) his acting talent. The story is simply told and is absorbing, entertaining and (unusually for a modern comedy) funny. Not uproariously but it made me smile on many occasions. The viewer cares about the characters and what happens to them and that is a testament to the writing and direction. It is not the best comedy I have ever seen nor the best heist movie but the sum is greater than the parts. Keaton was very good and Queen Latifah was terrific support. I recommend this for a pleasant way to pass an hour or so.

Mad Money is a comedy heist movie, with an unusual wrinkle in that the crooks are all women.They work at the Federal Reserve Bank, and the thought of all that worn out money simply being shredded proves to be too much for the unexpectedly impoverished Bridget (Diane Keaton), reduced to cleaning after husband Ted Danson loses his job. So she recruits single mom / money shredder Nina (Queen Latifah) and dippy trailer dweller money mover Jackie (Katie Holmes) and the three of them demonstrate how easy it is to recycle" some of this unwanted money, albeit not without some wobbly moments on the way.This movie features pleasing performances from all the main characters, but particularly from Diane Keaton. Katie Holmes' dozy Jackie is good fun, too, and Queen Latifah's sincerity gives the film some much-needed heart.Enjoyable, if a little frothy.
