Reviews
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
