Mad Money movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Amy Nicholson, Boxoffice Magazine: The latest vibrato performance of Diane Keaton's late career shame has her playing once-wealthy housewife Bridget Cardigan, whose twee name and dithering hysteria are equally insufferable. Read more
Christy Lemire, Associated Press: Mad Money strains desperately for laughs. Read more
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: Speaking of recycling, this script by Glenn Gers reeks of it and not in a healthy, eco-minded way. Read more
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: He stars phone in their expected personas (Keaton testy, Latifah earthy), except for Holmes, who's unconvincing as a gum-chewing trailer babe. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: There's an old saying: 'I wrote you a long letter because I didn't have time to write a short one.' In the case of Mad Money, I'll write a short review because the movie won't sustain a long one. (It barely sustains itself.) Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: This is an odd, disposable movie; it melts away as you leave the theater, leaving nothing but vague dissatisfaction behind. Read more
Keith Phipps, AV Club: The scheme works for a while. Sadly, the movie never does. As a heist film, it relies on the trio of felonious females besting a system that seems laughably easy to outwit. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: It's all in service to a workaday script that leads to a cop-out of an ending that makes the whole thing seem even more generic than it should. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: This movie scared me. What is it saying about us? This is basically a bunch of rich people celebrating pathological greed. There's nothing satirical about the film. Read more
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times: The big problem with Mad Money is not that the situation is implausible -- this is a caper; it's supposed to be over the top -- it's that it doesn't do the work necessary to con us into believing it. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: The best thing you can say about Mad Money is that it has a good cast. The worst thing you can say about it is that the cast is extremely ill-used. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: Leaves one pondering the ways audiences abet amorality tales. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: This leap might be a bit easier to take if the robbers involved weren't all straight from the female stereotype handbook. And if any of their male companions were given an ounce of credibility. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Mad Money, a sisters-in-greed heist comedy that's like Fun With Dick and Jane crossed with Set It Off, may be a formula flick, but as directed by Callie Khouri, it gives you a good, infectious dose of its heroines' money fe Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: Mad Money is no Rififi, but Khouri and Gers invest it with an individuality and generosity of spirit that lift it into the realm of guiltless pleasure. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: When someone takes our money without offering much in return, don't we have every right to get mad? Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: 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 couple of years to zap the talent out of her like this? Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: A mild comedy that penetrates its see-through cellophane wrap with a few good laughs and many performances that are even better. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: It's just a lot more sane and tame than its 'mad' title would have you believe. Read more
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer: A likable and completely dispensable heist film. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Mad Money is a comedy caper where the caper's not interesting and the comedy's not funny. Take away those elements and all that's left is a tepid female buddy movie and, like its male counterparts, we've had enough of those to choke a critic. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: There is little suspense, no true danger; their plan is simple, the complications are few, and they don't get excited much beyond some high-fives and hugs and giggles. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: 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 of pure idiocy. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: It's just OK, one of those decent little movies that get released in January. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Mad Money is a heist comedy that doesn't rip off the audience. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: The pocketing of tired bills headed for the shredder, the producing of tired movies headed for the theatre -- it's all just recycling. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Mad Money is small change that somehow manages to add up to a satisfying sum. Read more
Justin Chang, Variety: This strained heist comedy about three cash-strapped femmes is watchable enough for a few reels, but lacks the requisite wit and amoral energy to capitalize on its get-rich-quick premise. Read more
Robert Wilonsky, Village Voice: While it's all so breezy and zippy and girl-power peppy, it's Keaton who makes Mad Money worth a few bucks. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: It's not that much fun. Read more
