An exercise in Rat Pack razzle dazzle, wrapped in enviable tailoring and topped off with 12 pairs of perfect white teeth, the film milks every last drop of fun from the easy onscreen camaraderie of the ultimate in-crowd.

Ocean's Twelve is busier, messier and thinner than its predecessor, and while it looks like the cast is having a blast and a half, the studied hipness can get so pleased with itself it borders on the smug.

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 18, 2012

A top-rate cast makes up for the thin plot.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 26, 2010

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 1, 2006

Just think, if Clooney, Pitt, Roberts, Soderbergh, et al can make something as agreeable as this without even generating a sweat, imagine what they could have done had they REALLY worked at it?

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 13, 2005

So insubstantial as to barely register as an actual film.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 7, 2005

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 7, 2005

Hits a new low in condescending facetiousness, with no fewer than 15 performers of varying talents, tongues firmly in cheeks, undercutting all the genre's action conventions while camping up a storm on two continents.

Much of the pleasure of this wily cinematic exercise is watching Soderbergh and his crew bury the complex plot line's points under what appear to be a willfully perverse series of in-jokes and such.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 14, 2004

It may be fluff, but it's some of the best fluff you're ever going to get.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 12, 2004

| Original Score: B- | Dec 11, 2004

May be one of the most glamorous, goofy and heartfelt films about failure ever made.

| Dec 11, 2004

It does the hard work of being a light, smartly turned-out amusement, the sort of thing that's becoming more and more rare on the movie landscape these days.

| Dec 11, 2004

Some of the bits are hysterical, but others fall flat.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 11, 2004

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

| Dec 10, 2004

The whole thing is a piffle of fluff or a fluff of piffle. About halfway through you'll get an incredible hunger to see a movie.

| Dec 10, 2004

In keeping with his general distaste for sequels -- this is his first, in fact -- Soderbergh has subverted all of the usual conventions, making the movie far more interesting than it has any right to be.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 10, 2004

Much of the movie feels improvised, with laid-back actors tossing off one-liners that work far more often than they don't.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 10, 2004
