Critics Consensus

A laborious, unfunny and implausible heist film.

[T]he gap between [Thelma & Louise] and Mad Money resembles the abyss that Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis drove into in Khouri's earlier hit.

Just when I thought there was no way a movie like this could possibly show me anything new, Money goes and makes Ivan Boesky out of Annie Hall, paints redemption green, and paves the road to heaven with gold. Color me surprised.

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.

Keaton actually tries to save the day.

B-

A pleasant surprise that takes a simple (and rather clichéd) premise and milks it for every ounce of entertainment possible.

2/5

With a plot that borders on the absurd and a happy ending, Mad Money is a film that does not necessarily need to be seen on the giant screen. [Full review in Spanish]

This is a terribly underrated film. The three women in the cast work seamlessly together making this a fun family film.

Minha opinião: Um filme gostoso de assistir, que sai daquelas comédias romantias ou dos besterois. Muito criativo e onde podemos ver Diane como sempre arrasando, além de Queen e Katie fazendo o papel de uma louquinha e Queen da certinha. E Diane a arquiteta de todo plano e ambiciosa. Tudo começa com Diane descobrindo que esta falida. Encontra um emprego no banco central, onde destroem o dinheiro velho. A oportunidade faz o ladrão. Então Diane arma uma forma de roubar, mas precisa da ajuda de Queen e Katie. E assim formam a quadrilha, com o tempo o marido de Diane e Katie, entram na quadrilha e depois o namorado de Queen. Quando já tinham o suficiente, a ambição de Diane fez com que não paracem. Atém que são descobertas e presas. Mas ela consegue a liberdade desde que deixacem todo o dinheiro que a policia apreendeu. Mas Diane tinha um plano a mais. Uma boa atuação dessas atrizes maravilhosas. Prepare-se para dar uma boa gargalhada. Roteiro: Bom roteiro Vale apena assistir? Sim Nota: 8,5
