A madcap heist movie with a delectable cast who realise that while money can't buy happiness, it sure as hell can buy everything else.

There's an old saying: 'I wrote you a long letter because I didn't have time to write a short one.' In the case of Mad Money, I'll write a short review because the movie won't sustain a long one. (It barely sustains itself.)

The Men Who Stare at Goats makes [True Lies] seem like a sensitive and balanced take on American/Middle Eastern relations.

All in all, Goats would have been groaningly familiar, even back in the 1960s.

A pleasing, satisfying chamber-piece.

It can't escape the crippling clichs of similar films that have come before it, and there are far too many Cameron Crowe-ian platitudes littered throughout the screenplay to remind us that we are indeed watching a movie.

Looks like a comedy, acts like a comedy and sounds like a comedy, but it isn't funny.

[Bob Funk] insists that we find charm in its protagonist's most odious behavior.

The cast is inherently likable, and the comedy is pleasantly sweet-natured (even if crack pipes, c-bombs and references to The Wire abound).

It's funny, offensive, well acted and pointless.
