“And the cinematic comeback of the year award goes to…somebody other than Katie Holmes,” says a New York Post critic, who calls her new heist comedy Mad Money, co-starring Queen Latifah and Diane Keaton, “the most cringe-making return since Love Boat: The Next Wave.
Well, now, that’s just rude. Robert Ulrich deserves more respect than that!
“Holmes, with Alice Cooper hair and crazy Jim Carrey eyes, looks terrible and acts worse, unless this movie is unintentionally a lobotomy documentary,” the reviewer writes. “Whatever could have happened to her in the last couple of years to zap the talent out of her like this?” (Gee, what are they getting at?)
The New York Times says Katie is “the movie’s weakest link.”
Variety adds that throughout the film “Holmes is awkwardly upsetting the balance” between Queen Latifah and Diane Keaton.
Don’t worry, Katie. I think your work in Married to a Madman is an Oscar-worthy performance!

Ouch! Those reviews are harsh indeed. I haven’t seen the movie, so can’t say whether they’re fair or not.
Poor Katie. And here she probably thought that marrying Tom would give her career a boost. Looks like it’s had the opposite effect.

She was okay in “Thank You For Not Smoking” and “Pieces of April”. But Tom has zapped her of her ability to emote!!

The whole movie looks mind-numbingly stooopid, so I don’t think Katie should take ALL the blame. But I love the snarky ass comments!

I thought she was good in “The Gift,” “Teaching Mrs. Tingle” and “Disturbing Behavior.” In “Disturbing…” they coined the word “Razor,” as a synonym for “cool.” I use it, but it hasn’t caught on.

Katie seems sweet, but I never did think she was a very good actress before.
