Zestful if calculated, the comedy shrewdly plays to its multiple demos: Upscale Diane Keaton offers link to 1970s generation femmes, Queen Latifah gives voice to African American, and Katie Holmes picks up the slack as a cute but slow-witted white chick Save your money so you dont get mad that you spent it on this. Mad Money dvd Trailer Diane Keaton almost saves the day and Queen Latifah helps a little, but Mad Money simply isnt funny, and theres no compensation for that. Lethargic heist comedy about three fairly unlikeable women who rob the Federal Reserve Bank and really, really deserve to get caught. Glenn Gers script is peppered with a few funny lines but never takes full advantage of the premises comedic potential. The big problem with Mad Money is not that the situation is implausible — this is a caper its supposed to be over the top — its that it doesnt do the work necessary to con us into believing it.
