Summary of Where the Money Is

Carol Ann (Linda Fiorentino) and Wayne McKay (Dermot Mulroney) are high school sweethearts who married and continue to live happily in their small Pacific Northwest hometown. Carol works contentedly at a nursing home, but when a new patient is delivered, her comfortable life is turned upside down. The patient, Henry (Paul Newman), is a famous bank robber who has been left incapacitated by a stroke. Carol isn't convinced of this, however. After she takes Henry out for a picnic, she boldly attempts to discover the truth. Luckily, for her sake, she was right. Henry has mastered the art of mind control and has been waiting for the opportune time to reunite with his money and flee the country. Rather than expose him, Carol uses this information to blackmail him into teaching her the craft, at which point she, Wayne, and Henry will pull off a heist of their own. As the plot unfolds, loose strings threaten to trip up their seemingly foolproof plan.

This movie had some real laughs here and there, but the caper itself was just competent, and seemed forgone. I love Paul Newman and Linds Fiorentino, but I just couldn't bring myself to care about their characters. If you're looking for a caper with...
