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

Not the best or worst. I realize some people called it unfunny, but it was amusing to me personally! I really enjoyed watching it last night and liked the women and their partners. It had a happy ending too. I'd consider it a fun lightweight comedy

[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.

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-

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. [Full review in Spanish]
