Pleasant viewing, it could have been a lot funnier.

While technically "Mad Money" is a comedy, it's certainly NOT a hilarious one....and it's just very mildly funny at times. And, as a crime film, it's not one of the more realistic or tense ones. As a result, I'd place this in the Time Passer category.

When the story begins, Don (Ted Danson) has lost his job and bills are piling up. As a result, Bridget (Diane Keaton) has to look for work...which is quite a shock as they had been quite wealthy up until this time. She is able to get a job working as a cleaning woman at the local Federal Reserve branch and through the course of working there, she comes up with an idea....to steal the money they would otherwise burn due to fatigue and tearing...something routinely done about every 18 months of a bill's life. But it can't be a one person job and she enlists the help of Nina (Queen Latifah) and Jackie (Katie Holmes). Complications ensue.

This is a film where how they commit the money skimming seems incredibly easy...something it really couldn't be in reality. But if you turn off your brain and just watch, it can be quite enjoyable.

Too light and fluffy

Don Cardigan (Ted Danson) tells his wife Bridget (Diane Keaton) that he's been fired for awhile and are $286k in debt. She can only get a janitor's job at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. She's amazed at the sight of all the money, and comes up with a scheme to steal the old cash with her fellow workers Jackie Truman (Katie Holmes) and Nina Brewster (Queen Latifah).

Katie Holmes could have been in 'The Dark Knight' instead of this. There is just something very simplistic and unrealistic about the scheme. The movie is so light and fluffy. The girls should be much more serious. And the movie starts off at the end so that there is no danger of getting caught until that point. This should be a much more thrilling movie that it actually is, and it isn't funny as a comedy.

Nitwit star-vehicle...a "bad economy" comedy full of bad ideas

Strapped upper-class housewife in Kansas City is forced to take a janitorial job at the Federal Reserve Bank where old paper money is destroyed; she gets an idea of how to reserve some of that cash for herself, and enlists two co-workers to help her. Haphazardly-conceived narrative is nitwit comedy one minute, heist drama the next. Diane Keaton comes up with the scheme, which viewers are hardly privy to (she buys a lock and looks something up on the internet); Queen Latifah warns her not to spend any of the money, but a few scenes earlier is seen enrolling her child in a prestigious school and offering to donate a large sum to the library. None of it coheres, and only the scenes set in the Federal Reserve building contain any visual interest. The three leads (Keaton, Latifah, and Katie Holmes) are meant to be portraying lovable losers looking for a break, but all we can see is that they are greedy mercenaries. *1/2 from ****
