Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: C Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Hank Sartin Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Alonso Duralde MSNBC [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. Rated: 1/5 May 1, 2008 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Keaton actually tries to save the day. Rated: 1.0/4.0 Sep 15, 2020 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News A pleasant surprise that takes a simple (and rather clichéd) premise and milks it for every ounce of entertainment possible. Rated: B- Oct 29, 2019 Full Review Laura Hiros Rincón de cine 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.

alan g Horrible movie, weak plot, Dianne Weakton for worst actress ever. What happened to her? She used to be good. Now a shadow of her former self. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Audience Member Giving hope to the hopeless haha some good laughs coming out of this unrealistic money grab Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review John D Idk why people are hating on this movie. It's really good Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/12/23 Full Review Stephen C LOL, 01 hour: and 43 minutes of money-stealing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review carlos t 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 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Very entertaining & clever plot! 8 out of 10. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
