Review title: Taking a Masterpiece (11) and making a Dud (12)
Product review: Oceans 11 was so good in so many ways that making a sequel must have seemed like a great idea. The problem here, with 12, is that it suffers from character development drift: characters in 11 that were amusing and interesting, then develop themselves in 12 until they are smarmy, cutesy, boring, and worse. Matt Damon's character becomes even more milquetoast like. Clooney's character becomes even stupider in love with Roberts' character, who becomes even more entitled. It's really maddening. Finally the viewer throws in the towel, as what some body may have called the "plot" goes on and on and on and on. I threw in my towel about the time that Julie Roberts impersonated a famous movie star, Julia Roberts, who looked so much like Julia Roberts that her good friend, Bruce Willis, was unable to tell that she was an imposter. Right.
