A real disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (17 December 2009)

We went to this movie because we thought we couldn't go wrong with such an all-star cast. My husband also checked the IMDb rating and found it was decent, though not stellar, so off we went.
By one minute into the movie, we suspected the rest of the movie was not going to be what we expected. We thought we were going to something with the sophistication and clever humour of the Oceans series, but instead got something campy and largely lacking in plot.
There were moments of genuine humour in the movie that did make us laugh, which is why I've gone as high as five on my review. However, the movie as a whole never gave us what we had hoped. I suspect the actors probably got more amusement from making the film that we got from watching it; I felt like I was watching an inside joke or I was the sober person watching drunk people amused at their own antics.
I like these actors, but I expect more of them.
