It's OK to judge a movie by its trailer. Or rather, most movie goers do, which makes it perfectly acceptable in our book. Here's the latest analysis ...
The movie: "Mad Money"
In theaters: Jan. 18
The plot: Three Federal Reserve employees (Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah, Katie Holmes) steal money that's about to be destroyed.
The trailer: Queen Latifah has been plans to get cashola for herself and Diane Keaton; Diane is apparently a master locksmith; Money's about to be destroyed and Diane wants it; OMG — Ted Danson's in the movie! And he has white hair!; Katie Holmes has curly hair and drives a crummy car!; The ladies come up with a code (something about stroking an eyebrow), then stuff money in their skivvies; Queen Latifah has a crush; Katie and her man buy an RV; Latifah flushes Diane's super bligged-out ring; Diane threatens to have Ted whacked.
Mmm ... doesn't seem like a very strong plot, but it'll probably be a hit.
