What’s it about: When Terry Benedict (Garcia) tracks down Ocean’s (Clooney) crew and demands the stolen $160 million back–with interest–the gang returns to a life of thievery across Europe. But they quickly discover that Benedict isn’t the only powerful person in the world looking for Ocean’s Eleven.

“It’s all fizzy and enjoyable, provided you like these actors to begin with, but you can’t help but wish the filmmakers had at least tried to tell a genuine story. ‘Ocean’s Twelve’ is the work of fabulously rich and glamorous people in a playful mood, but while the movie’s lack of pretentiousness is refreshing, there’s also a nagging sense of laziness to it–an awfully precious vanity project that happens to be fun to watch.”
