Mad Money...a movie review

I went to a movie today...all alone, solo, uno! And it was fantastic. Not the movie, going alone. I was originally going with a girlfriend, but she had to cancel and I was not about to give up my time out of the house alone time, if you know what I mean. It was a toss up...Mad Money or 27 Dresses. I wanted to see both, but knew my a$$ couldn't sit there for TWO movies without falling asleep and totally dodging my motherly and home-bound duties for the day. I can't say I didn't think about it though.

So, I went with money in hand to get my diet pepsi and popcorn and a good seat, right smack in the middle of the theater. With no kids in tow. All alone. Did I mention I was solo? I think that's why it wouldn't matter what I was seeing, I was seeing it alone and could eat my popcorn as loudly as I wanted, could drink all the soda and not have someone whining about wanting more, and had an abundance of napkins left over at the end and no mess on the floor around me.

OK, so seriously, the movie, was not bad. Ted Danson was in it, and boy is he looking old. I just remember his "Cheers" days, and well, I didn't think he'd be caught dead with WHITE hair! Katie Holmes was FUNNY in the movie...her character was the complete polar opposite of who she has become IRL. I bet Tom couldn't stand to see her act like that, even though it was for a movie. Queen Latifah is always good, no matter what she's in. And Diane Keaton is one of my all time favorite actresses, so with a cast like that, the movie can't be bad. It was about a group getting together to rob their workplace, the Federal Reserve. It was a mindless 1.5 hours, but I like to go see a movie where I am totally out of my life and just sitting in a theater with nothing else to think about. So, if you have time and money to spend on a few hours with some laughs, Mad Money tops the list.
