Ocean's Twelve ***1/2

Ocean's Eleven is one of my favorite movies, so I could not wait to see the sequel, but I had to. Somehow they got everyone to come back for this one, and that was cool of them. They introduce what everyone has done after the last movie, and start this one three years later. The bad guy from the last movie comes back at the beginning and demands his money back from everyone with interest, but most of them already spent a bunch of it, so they have to steal money again to pay the guy back. If that continued they could make these forever. Brad Pitt and Clooney let Bourne be in on their deals, and the scene is almost as funny as the poker scene in the first one. After that it is just Brad and Clooney who run things again. Several people disappear almost immediately, and it is Ocean's 6.5 for awhile. There is a fairly large joke with the chick which I thought was pretty funny, but other people on the internet thought it was dumb. I will not ruin it for you, but it has another famous person who should be in the next one as number 13. Everyone except the hilarious Bernie Mac comes back to get a lot more screen time. There is also this laser dance which is really stupid and way too long.


When I was in school I got in trouble for stealing some stuff from this guy I hated. I had to give it back and apologize because that was supposed to be the right thing to do. So I guess it is good that they had to give the money from the first movie back. My teachers definitely would have made them give it back. But I hated that guy, so I did not mean it when I said I was sorry, and later I broke the stuff when he left it out. I did not let anyone know that I did it, just in case my teacher had a speech about that too, and made me say I was sorry again. Anyway I like this movie, but alot of stuff goes by too fast, and it is not as much of a team effort as the last movie. It is still really funny though, and worth watching so I give this movie 3.5 out of 5 stars.


If you like this movie you should watch the first one again.
