Mad Money

I recently just watched a movie that made me want to rob a bank. Well, not really, I don't have the guts to do that. The movie I'm talking about is Mad Money. This movie stars Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes. These three ladies all work for a secure bank in America. They come up with a brilliant plan to smuggle out millions of dollars in worn-out currency that heads to the Federal Reserve shredder everyday. This movie is packed full of comedy and action. 

My favorite scene in this movie is when they almost get caught smuggling money. They make the scene really funny and enjoyable. However, they make it through their conflict without getting caught. When doing so they stir up a little trouble and a big problem which causes their plan to move south. After a little negotiation they made a requite into their scam making scheme. 

I really enjoyed this movie because it really emphasizes how money cannot buy happiness. That statement proves to be true in this film. These ladies steal all this money and start spending it and they all think that they are happy. After a while it starts showing that these ladies are not happy. They just keep wanting more and more money to make them happy.  They say that their not happy until they get it all. Now that just turns into pure greed. Greed can really take over a persons life. It really shows in this movie. These three ladies start spending money like crazy and sooner or later that starts to show which causes a lot of suspicion upon their part. 

I just don't understand how someone could be so greedy. I'm not saying that I don't like money, because I do. What I'm saying is being so greedy to the point where all you care about is money and yourself. Now that's being greedy.  That's how the title of this movie got its name, Mad Money.

I agree I also dont understand how some people can be so greedy when it comes to money. This sounds like a good comedy/lesson learning movie I will have to rent it : )
