Little does everyone known Bridget has the perfect plan with the help of a restaurant owner and a tax attorney that gets her out of the perfect crime but still leaves her happy. MAD MONEY is a funny chick movie that any male can sit in and be amazed by what females will do to make their family happy.
I thought this movie was funny especially with the way the economy is in the crapper. Ok so maybe it was a bit on the unrealistic side but who really cares. It wasn't so unrealistic that it took me out of the movie. I loved the friendship aspect of the show and I liked the "happy ending" aspect as well. The characters were funny and I like that it was a "feel good" movie. We need a few of those. It had a decent plot and none of the characters were overly annoying. Its not going to win any awards but who says every movie has to be a contender? Mad Money tells a good story and gives a few good laughs in the process, and even made me think a few times. Hey, I liked it.
Best line, "Hot damn, we're finally organized crime."
