CINEMA: Regal Warren Moore 17 & IMAX, Moore, OK
AUDITORIUM: 8, SEAT: G14
PRESENTATION: Warren GRAND slope auditorium with a balcony full of nervous beavers and Regal Roller Coaster Vision
PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: Couple behind me declaring "Oh my gosh!" every time something happened on screen and discussing scenes openly like this was their own goddamn living room
RATING: Two and one half stars (out of four)

THE PLOT: A parolee plots to steal a diamond. Wackiness ensues.

The best part is the ending. The build-up to get there is sooo boring. They follow the "11" formula a little TOO closely but forgot to add the cleverness. Something was just missing there. So it's one of those "Yeah, I've seen this already and it was better the first time" type deals.

The wrap-up, though, was pretty great.

There's a couple cameos from the Ocean's Eleven gang.

It's been 17 years since the last remake of the original, I guess after they pulled a Ghost Busters on this franchise they can now go back and make another remake of the original...

got bored some fifteen minutes into the movie, took a brief nap, woke up and didn't think I missed a thing.
