Don Cardigan (Ted Danson) has been downsized from his high level job and despite a year of job hunting, he and his wife Bridget (Diane Keaton) are facing foreclosure on their home.
After decades out of the work force, Bridget takes a job a housekeeper at the Federal Reserve. When she realizes that a million dollars are shredded every day right there where she works, she hatching the idea to simply recycle the unshredded bills. She unites with single mom Nina Brewer (Queen Latifah) and ditzy young Jackie Truman (Katie Holmes) to form the most unlikely trio of heisters ever known.
While they may succeed with stealing the loot, they fail to deliver characters that could evoke empathy and also failed to deliver laughs in what is billed as a comedy. Deadly boring stuff here, folks. No wonder it was released in January and went to DVD in near record time.
Directed by Callie Khouri.
Rated PG-13 for sexual material and language, and brief drug references.
My personal rating: D
