3 out of 5
Girl power gets greedy in this fast-paced crime caper about a trio of women who rob the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City by stuffing their underwear with cash. Diane Keaton stars as a desperate housewife saddled with $200,000 in debt after businessman husband (Ted Danson) gets downsized onto the dole queue. Taking a job as a cleaner in the high-tech, high-security bank, Bridget recruits co-workers Queen Latifah (sassy) and Katie Holmes (dippy) for a cunning plan: the women will steal used notes scheduled for shredding and sneak them out in their knickers, effectively recycling the cash. Zipping along with plenty of panache, this chick flick gets by on the novelty pairing of its three unlikely leads and the incongruous sight of Keaton in a jumpsuit, scrubbing toilets. If it all sounds a little familiar, that's because it's a remake of the 2001 BBC drama Hot Money starring Caroline Quentin.
