There's an old saying: 'I wrote you a long letter because I didn't have time to write a short one.' In the case of Mad Money, I'll write a short review because the movie won't sustain a long one. (It barely sustains itself.)

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
It's better than I expected it to be.
This movie is designed to be fun, and its intentions are signaled to us over and over again, as when the women jump around on a bed, giggling and flinging old, dirty money around in a wanton display of pure idiocy.
Speaking of recycling, this script by Glenn Gers reeks of it and not in a healthy, eco-minded way.
Moviegoers will come up empty.
