Mad Money

Mad Money borrows heavily from Fun With Dick and Jane as Diane Keaton and Ted Danson are Bridget and Don Cardigan, a heartland middle class couple who suddenly find themselves with no visible means of support and no marketable skills. A desperate Bridget takes a janitorial job at the Federal Revenue Bank where she hatches a scheme to steal worn out currency destined for shredding. She enlists the aid of single mom Nina Brewster (Queen Latifah) and married airhead Jackie Truman (Katie Holmes) for a systematic daily removal of a few handfuls of very filthy lucre. Months later when everyone else wants to quit while they’re ahead Bridget wants more and conflicts start to arise. Mad Money is the type of film that will make you mad if you spent money to see it. Here we thought that the most evil spawn for Katie Holmes was being a Surri Surrogate for L. Ron Hubbard and a talent like Keaton should have learned some kind of lesson from the truly terrible Because I Said So.
