I had a memory of loving this as a kid, so finally obtained it to watch here in 2019 almost 40 years later. Gulp.

It's fun - a tale of a three women, their lives, and the interconnected hi-jinx that occur. My mind remembered the heist, which is clearly what excited me as a kid - when actually, it's a small part of the movie.

What I love is how relevant it is today. Lots of economists spinning cost of living increases being only so many percentage points blah blah blah so disconnected from every day lives. 40 years later, nothing has changed on that one.

What's particularly amazing is this is a female tour de force. Just recently we've had female-led casts such as Ocean's 8 or the ill-fated Ghostbusters and it feels forced. It's a statement. It's a fight to be fought.

But here the women are utterly centre stage - the stories revolve around them, they plot the heist, they run it... there's no men here underpinning it. Men are the supporting cast, and it's brilliant as it's just so natural and stems so effortlessly from the script.

It does it without fanfare - it just is. With confidence and style. Just like the actresses and story they inhabit.

Jane Curtin is paranoid, Susan St. James is harried, and Jessica Lange is beautiful and married to dork Richard Benjamin. This light-hearted yup flick is fairly ridiculous, but the charms of these wonderful actresses makes it worthwhile. I give it a 6 out of 10 with the best performance by Jane Curtin.

It's nice to see Jessica Lange in an early role when her youth and attractiveness hide the fact that she will become one of our best actresses while Ms. Curtin and Ms. St. James (who I also love since THE NAME OF THE GAME on TV) had careers that faltered (beside the TV show they did together - Kate and Allie). The men in this movie are mostly idiots, but this plays like a decent sit-com; fairly lame, but harmless fun.

Does anybody remember this movie which is rather dated now? I actually saw it in the theatres. It wasn't really to bad, a bunch of women who are having money problems decide to pull a heist by taking a large ball full of money in a shopping mall. It isn't a hilarious movie but it DID have it's moments. It's a fun movie to see if you like chick flicks AND heist movies-this combines the two and comes up with something, if not great, at least watchable.

My main problem with this is how it doesn't really stick in your mind once you've seen it. It is sometimes funny but never really hilarious. The movie is watchable but never really great. It doesn't come close to being a great movie but is, all in all, a decent one that's good for a few laughs.
