Worth The Ticket Price, 2 February 2008
9/10
Author: Zen416 from United States

We went to see this not expecting all that much and were nicely surprised by what a good little comedy this turned out to be. Diane Keaton was in top form as Bridget, a former upper-middle class hausfrau who's forced to toil away as a janitor at the federal reserve because her hubby (played by Ted Danson's perfect straight man) is no longer employed. Naturally frustrated with her circumstances and itching for a quicker fix to her financial woes, Bridget hatches a plan to rip off the Federal Reserve with the help to 2 other recruits, Nina (the moral centre of the trio, ably played by Queen Latifah) and Jackie (a really funny and charming Katie Holmes). Roger R. Cross and Adam Rothenberg give good supporting performances as Nina's nice-guy admirer and Jackie's amusing dim-bulb husband. The movie has a couple of good twists so that the outcome isn't the usual predictable stuff and it stays funny and warm throughout. It's a shame this opened around the same time as "Cloverfield" because this quirky little film didn't get the box office it should have. Hopefully, people will give this amusing chick-buddy flick a try. Give it a shot.
