Roger Ebert
The movie is all about behavior, dialogue, star power and wiseass in-jokes. I really sort of liked it.

Ocean's Twelve
George Clooney returns alongside Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Shaobo Qin, the late Bernie Mac, and director Steven Soderbergh for this sequel to the 2001 heist comedy. Catherine Zeta-Jones, Eddie Izzard and Vincent Cassel join the series.
Thinking they out-smarted their former target Terry Benedict (Garcia), the wealthy casino operator forces Danny Ocean (Clooney) to get the band back together - as well as his old flame (Roberts) - to pay back the $160 million they stole from him. The plan? A trio of heists that will take them to Rome, Paris and Amsterdam. But an already ambitious plan becomes further complicated when Europol operative Isabel Lahiri (Zeta-Jones) catches wind of what they're attempting.

In this sprawling oglefest, such things as "narrative" and "story" are remote little abstractions indeed.

This smooth inside job benefits from heightened bonhomie among the players, fab Euro locations and a diminished obligation to stick to the heist genre boilerplate.

Clooney and company work it too hard this time. You can tell they're huffing and puffing to stay afloat. But all I hear is: glug glug glug.
