| Synopsis
A caper comedy that brings to mind the Hollywood of yesteryear, WHERE THE MONEY IS is a harmless, fluffy affair. Newman proves once again that he has the uncanny ability to make a viewer believe every word he says, even when the dialogue threatens to slip into dangerously absurd and corny territory. Fiorentino has the difficult task of portraying a character whose only motivation for wanting to become a bank robber is boredom with her patterned, static existence. As her well intentioned, but dopey, husband, Mulroney also has a challenge: bringing such a flat, two-dimensional creation to life. As a credit to the actors, they manage to keep the film afloat. This isn't a very easy task, especially when taking into account the preposterousness of the proceedings. Still, the lighthearted tone and comic approach makes it hard to criticize the film too harshly. As a work whose main intent it is to provide a distraction from day-to-day life, WHERE THE MONEY IS accomplishes its goal quietly, but successfully. |
