Critics' Reviews

67
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Owen Gleiberman
Latifah coasts on grit and verve, and Holmes has a goggle-eyed sweetness, but it's Keaton who rules.Read Full Review »

USA Today: Claudia Puig
Moviegoers will come up empty with Mad Money. This lifeless comedy and uninventive caper feels as if it were cobbled together at a studio's obligatory consciousness-raising diversity seminar.Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Wesley Morris
This is the feistiest Hollywood movie about American women and their thankless jobs since "9 to 5."Read Full Review »

Village Voice: Robert Wilonsky
While it's all so breezy and zippy and girl-power peppy, it's Keaton who makes Mad Money worth a few bucks.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Carrie Rickey
A likable and completely dispensable heist film starring two of the deftest comedians working (Keaton and Latifah), the film from Callie Khouri is itself an American retread of the British caper telefilm "Hot Money."Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Carina Chocano
Keaton and Ted Danson, who plays her husband, Don, are the comedic bright spot in the movie, not least because they are ridiculous.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Ann Hornaday
Possesses its share of modest laughs, many of them delivered by Ted Danson as Bridget's bemused husband. But director Callie Khouri (best known for writing "Thelma & Louise") doesn't bring the dash needed to make this a comic heist on a par with "Ocean's Eleven."Read Full Review »

ReelViews: James Berardinelli
Mad Money is a comedy caper where the caper's not interesting and the comedy's not funny.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: Stephen Holden
In the breezy, amoral heist comedy Mad Money, “Fun With Dick and Jane” meets “9 to 5” on the way to recession.Read Full Review »

Salon.com: Stephanie Zacharek
The picture has no legs, no style, no sense of movement other than the meandering, dawdling kind.Read Full Review »
