Mad Money is a comedy staring Diane Keton, Queen Latifah and Katie Homes released earlier this year.
Its a story about 3 regular working women joining teams to do what no ordrinary women have done before, rob a Federal Bank
The story starts out with Diane Keaton whose a suburbian stay at home wife/mom with financial trouble.  She gets a job as a “janitor” at a Federal Bank to try and make “ends meet”, come on now, a Janitor?  They have scenes throughout the film that showed the home and trust me a “janitor’s” salary won’t pay for that home.  Anyways. the story goes on and she comes up with this bright idea to rob the place she’s working on.  She jut has to find a couple of partners which ultimately became Queen Latifah and Katie Homes.
The movie has it’s funny points.. made me chuckle a couple of times but often times I was trying to figure out what what’s going on?  Is this a drama? action? comedy? just weirded me out a little bit
Overall if you got nothing better to do, bored or just want to watch something without getting too much into it give this movie a try.
I’ll give it 3 out of 5

I haven’t heard of this film until last week when my wife asked me to find Juno’s OST. After finding and listening to the soundtrack I was really impressed and asked my wife what the movie was about. She gave me her summary from the advertisement she’s seen and we decided we were gonna watch it this weekend.

The film stars Jennifer Gardner and Jason Bateman as a couple that couldn’t conceive and was looking to adopting a baby. Ellen Page plays the pregnant teenager “Juno” who decided that she couldn’t abort the baby but also could not take care of it herself.

The story starts when Juno turns to the local Pennysaver in hopes of finding an advertisement that will solve all her problems.  And low and behold she finds a real elegant photo of Jen and Jason and knew just from the photo alone that they were the ones that will be raising her child.

The film was well written and original. There were great lines in this film and Ellen played the teenage pregnant role part to a perfection. Jennifer played the desperate woman who needed to be mother part great as well. There was nothing predictable about this film as you were often left wondering how it would end. Would Ellen give the child to the couple or is she gonna feel connected to the child and decide to keep it herself?

She then realizes that she in love with the boy that got her pregnant to begin with who was played by Michael Cera (from Superbad).  This of course causes more twists and turns to the plot. This makes Juno confused but yet through all these emotions she still manages to keep her composure and go on.  Let me say that although it may sound like real stressful time for Juno she did not let it show.  In fact she was the life of the film that gave it a comedic twist.

The ending was an unexpected one to say the least. I was really impressed with this whole film and will definitely recommend it to anybody out there but specially if you have a daughter, or a teenager at that. So go out and check this film out.. it’s definitely not a waste of time. I’ll give it a 4.5/5.0
