Everything about it fills me with hatred and animosity.

Rating: 1/10 (1 June 2005)

No idea why- perhaps it was the needless Joshua Jackson cameo, or perhaps Brad Pitt's sickening ego- but I genuinely couldn't stand this film.
I felt it did the original no favours, and it was all a bit of an excuse to get Matt Damon into yet another big film with his-older-yet-more-attractive 'mates'.
I have nothing against George Clooney's better films, but this certainly wasn't one of them. And the plot wasn't that exciting the first time round- why on earth we needed to remake this film, let alone make a sequel is beyond me.
Julia Roberts leaves me cold on a normal day, but surrounded by such a haplessly dull cast made her performance seem even less impressive- it's no great loss to the film industry that I didn't like this film as every single other person on earth loved it- but then again, Brad Pitt's a relative God to a lot of people for no good reason anyway...
