Where's the caper?

Rating: 1/10 (28 December 2004)

Yeah, yeah, we all know the rule about sequels - never as good as the first. But I really had fun with Ocean's Eleven so I willingly anted up for the over-hyped sequel.
I did enjoy Catherine Zeta-Jones in this movie, but everyone else looked like a bunch of spoiled self-serving brats. I'm sure it was fun for them, kind of like the popular group in high school getting together to preen and feed off each other's inflated sense of self-importance.
But they forgot one thing - THE AUDIENCE!!! The story was a jumble that led to a caper that wasn't. The theft of the priceless egg was stunningly dumb, and Julia Roberts pretending to be Julia Roberts had me cringing in my seat in embarrassment for her.
The real caper? - how smoothly they got that nine dollar ticket price out of my wallet.
