'Pretty boys' (and girls) outing...

Rating: 6/10 (25 February 2005)

A returning cast with some intriguing additions; a veritable pot pourri of picturesque locations, and crucially, continuity in the directors chair in the shape of a guy who it seems can do no wrong in Hollywood (from an 'industry' standpoint, at least... ) Well, what do you know? It appears that maybe you CAN have too much of a good thing - an embarrassment of riches, if you will - because, since they had all this, it seems awfully as though they figured that they didn't need much in the way of a script. Looks like they may have been wrong...
It had all the hallmarks of a filmed 'class reunion'... Great fun for them, I'm sure; however, less fun to attend if you aren't part of the 'clique'...
Yes; I WOULD shell out for Ocean's 13 should it happen (I don't think it will... ) because to me, 'star wattage' is a part of the movies; but it sure would be nice to know that they were in it for a labour of love - and not just an all-expenses-paid 'jolly-up', next time...
