If you're a parent reading this review trying to decide whether it is good for your teen, ask yourself this: Does my child know right from wrong? If the answer is no, then it's probably a good idea to watch the movie with them or don't let them watch it at all. The message isn't exactly positive. Yes, the movie shows the consequences of committing a federal crime, but in the end... well let's just say, I don't think they learn their lesson too well. Don't get me wrong though, the movie was very enjoyable. I always judge a film based on my reactions to whats going on while I'm watching it. If I cry, it's a good movie; if I get a reaction like embarassment or anger, then it's a good film because it gets you to FEEL something! This movie made me squirm in my seat, so see it! It may not be an academy award winning film, but heck, it's enjoyable! Great for a girls' night in!

What Parents Need to Know
About Mad Money
Parents need to know that this movie from the director of The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood is aimed more at mothers than kids. But some teens, especially girls who are fans of Queen Latifah or the celebrity circus that surrounds Katie Holmes, might be interested in checking this heist chick flick out. If you're considering a mother-daughter matinee, know that the main characters become unrepentant robbers motivated at first by necessity and later by greed. There are several conversations about sex (or the lack thereof) and a few scenes of passionate kisses, as well as some language (including "bitch") and social drinking.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the movie's theme: that money can buy you happiness. What did it buy the main characters? Did any of them do something good with the money, or were they all equally greedy? According to the product placements seen in the film, what specifically does money buy you? Do you think the movie glamorizes criminal behavior?

VERY DISAPPOINTED
This movie was a huge letdown. The acting was so so and more importantly, the language and the message it send was troublesome to me. I watched it with out son and our store had it under PG , or I would not have rented it. I thought at first it would be a good movie to talk about what is really important in life and good choices,,at the end I was just a bit relieved that the characters seemed to realize that money was not what mattered, but people and honesty etc, Then the last two minutes blew it all to pieces. I actually voived to my son how disappointed I was that they were glorifing something wrong..period. It was a waste of time and I definitely would not see it with a young person struggling to make correct moral choices.

Pretty funny
I enjoyed this movie. I watched it alone while dh was away with the kids on a camping trip. It was pretty funny. Not a super awesome movie, but worth a rent.

It made me laugh!
This move looked very funny from the begining! It is about a women becoming broke with hr husbend and gets a job cleaning at a government mint (where they print money). She ends up making friends that also handle the money and deside o take some of the money that was registered to be sheredded from old use. As they get more people into the plan theirplan becomes golden. This movie has a bad message but will give you a good laugh! I think it is fine for kids 13+
