Mad Money-A Lady's Reserve

This movie has its moments. The laughs may not be as infectious as other movies but I think generally Diane Keaton and Queen Latifah carried the movie. Kathy Holmes must be commended for her acting as a drug dependent easy go lucky girl. Real natural especially her dancing style. Ted Danson was a shadow of himself when compared to Sam, the character he plays in Cheers!

Working in the Federal Treasury where banks recycle bad notes for good notes, three ladies decided to virtually rob the Treasury by taking out notes that were to be shredded and burnt. Just when you think they were going to be nabbed by the authorities, they found that they could get away scot-free if they would return everything to the IRS.

But that was not the end. Unknown to the other two ladies, Brigitte who is the Keaton character has stashed a lot of the money in the cellar of a pub they often frequent. Mad money is a lady's side money to spend. They all got their mad money!

Fun show.
