''Mad Money'' stars' happier movies
Last winter's bank-robbing caper MAD MONEY (now on DVD) bombed and did little for stars Queen Latifah, Diane Keaton, and Katie Holmes. So do the ladies a solid and rent these great performances instead.
Diane Keaton, Manhattan Murder Mystery
(PG, 109 mins., 1993) It's Keaton's eighth film with Woody Allen, only this time he's her girl
Friday as they portray a bumbling New York couple who suspect their
elderly neighbor of murdering his wife.
Katie Holmes, Pieces of April
(PG-13, 80 mins., 2003) Holmes is perfect in this dramedy about a Lower East Side hipster
struggling to cook a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for her
family — using a broken stove. Even the red dye job suits her.
Queen Latifah, Living Out Loud
(R, 100 mins., 1998)
Rap's top lady nearly shows up star Holly Hunter as a sultry nightclub
chanteuse with a penchant for falling in love with gay men. Plus, she
does all her own (pre-Chicago) singing.
