Entertainment Weekly

Latifah coasts on grit and verve, and Holmes has a goggle-eyed sweetness, but it's Keaton who rules.

By Owen Gleiberman FULL REVIEW

Seattle Post-Intelligencer

The results are moderately entertaining, but the humor is broad and shallow; the film has none of the irony, bite or wit of its predecessor; and the script (by Glenn Gers) seems so calculated to appeal to every conceivable female demographic that it always feels contrived.

By William Arnold FULL REVIEW

Los Angeles Times

Keaton and Ted Danson, who plays her husband, Don, are the comedic bright spot in the movie, not least because they are ridiculous.

By Carina Chocano FULL REVIEW

Charlotte Observer

Everyone in the cast treads water, acting-wise -- there's nothing else to do -- except for Latifah, who brings passion to her work.

By Lawrence Toppman FULL REVIEW

Salon

The picture has no legs, no style, no sense of movement other than the meandering, dawdling kind.

By Stephanie Zacharek FULL REVIEW

Chicago Sun-Times

Mad Money is astonishingly casual for a movie about three service workers who steal millions from a Federal Reserve Bank. There is little suspense, no true danger; their plan is simple, the complications are few, and they don't get excited much beyond some high-fives and hugs and giggles.

By Roger Ebert FULL REVIEW

New York Post

Holmes, with Alice Cooper hair and crazy Jim Carrey eyes, looks terrible and acts worse, unless this movie is unintentionally a lobotomy documentary. Whatever could have happened to her in the last couple of years to zap the talent out of her like this?
