Now that was fun

Rating: 9/10 (31 May 2003)

Some days it's fun not to be saddled with having to think too hard. This movie offered no philosophy, no morality, no deep message (and unbelievably, no chemistry whatsoever between Stella and Charlie) but . . . I did have a flat out 104 minutes of fun. Pretty clever indeed. A clone of Ocean's Eleven in too many ways to mention. There were some middle school teen boys in the crowded theater who apparently never saw a caper movie. At first they annoyed me, but it ended up being almost as much fun watching them enjoy themselves as watching the movie. I give it 9 out of 10. (P.S. My eyes might have deceived me, but I'm almost sure I saw Spider Man in the crowd dashing to get out of the way of those Minis.)
