Basically a couples version of the Oceans 11 (12, 13) scenario (i.e. if the characters of Brad Pitt & George Clooney were romantically involved). One of those heist/con movies that works while you’re watching it, but is just a little bit too slick in the end, too many things work out “just” right. Or do they? Whether they do or not, you can pick apart about a million things when you leave the theater so it’s really whether or not that ruins the experience for you. (In this case, for me, it did not.)

The difference between the Oceans movies and this one is a bit of added slapstick thanks to Tom Wilkinson and Paul Giamatti playing feuding consumer products CEOs. It’s partially hilarious because you’re like come on NO ONE’s this crazy…but on the other hand, it’s hilarious because hello CEOs of Fortune 500 companies…are TOTALLY this crazy. They both brought a very hilarious physical energy to their roles.

Not much deeper than your average bit o’ fluff. But definitely entertaining and Julia/Clive played their love/hate relationship very realistically. Ah, the hidden jealousies. So nasty when they become unhidden.

MK insisted (and I mean INSISTED) we go get champagne after this movie (they seem to celebrate each assignation with yet another bottle) so we had a long leisurely afternoon… Fun times!
