Ocean's 11 was one of the slickest heist movies I've ever seen. It's so difficult to come up with anything original when one is doing a heist movie. Everything's been done! So Ocean's 11 people apparently decided, "Okay, okay, we'll do a typical heist movie then.... but we'll do it with oodles of style." And it worked. Ocean's 12 is, pretty much, exactly the same as Ocean's 11. Maybe slightly less slick and a bit more comedic - the section toward the end with Tess must have been great fun for Julie Roberts to poke a little bit of fun at herself - but overall, more of the same. Except "the same" is pretty high quality stuff. Very satisfying sequel.Musical Theater People Sighting: None, really, but the Night Fox kept reminding me of John Tartaglia.
Memorable quotes:
"I was once in a vault while it was being robbed."
"We'll be dead and no one will want to work with us."
"Look, it's not in my nature to be mysterious."
"Do I look 50 to you?"
"Yeah. But, uh, only from the neck up."
"We're doomed."
"No, not doomed. He's one guy and he's French."
"I think by 'fine' he meant we're shorter on time and we're deeper in debt than when we started."
"Just protect your fake baby."
