Title: Mad? Barely miffed
Product review: When Danny DeVito, Edward Norton, Robin Williams, and Rob Reiner came acropper with the monumental disaster "Death to Smoochie", it was noted that only truly talented people could fail so spectacularly. How though to explain "Mad Money"? Callie Khouri is the writer of "Thelma & Louise". We all know the fine work of Diane Keaton and Queen Latifah. Even Katie Holmes has a track record far better than most of her generation. Not to mention Ted Danson. If these estimable folk had produced another "Smoochie", it would have been one thing. But they didn't even do that! Whatever else was true of Reiner's film it was never so plain & simply uninteresting and dull. The sad fact is, there's nothing really wrong with "Mad Money". There's nothing really right with it. It's just there. And to quote Gertrude Stein in a different context; "There's no `there', there".
