From Callie Khouri – the woman who brought us the classic ‘Thelma and Louise” – comes a fun caper about three women out to prove they can have it all with a little, okay, maybe alotta cash. You’ve gotta love a movie that promotes the fact that money does buy happiness. When Bridget (Diane Keaton) learns that her husband (Ted Danson) is in serious debt, thus affecting their wealthy lifestyle, she takes a janitorial job – the only things she’s skilled for – at the Federal Reserve. In meeting Nina (Queen Latifah) a single mother of two boys and Jackie (Katie Holmes) a trailer park air-head, the women soon justify why it’s okay to rob the old-about-to-be-shredded cash and stash it in their underwear. About midway through the movie loses steam (maybe because the story foreshadows from the get-go the fact that they are already caught by the FBI). But an unexpected twist leaves the audience cheering in the end because loads of loot would make anybody happy. For what it is and for not trying to be anything more, the movie gets THREE TIARAS
