The gang is all back, of course, with Daniel (George) and Rusty (Brad) at the helm and the new addition of Isabel (Catherine) as Rusty's former girlfriend who is also a federal agent. The team has to reunite because Terry Benedict (Andy) has tracked them all down and wants his money back, plus interest. Based on what has already been spent, the guys need to raise approximately $97 million in two weeks or die. Since they cannot do another job in the U.S., off they go to Amsterdam, Rome, and Lake Como. This time, even Tess (Julia) has to become part of the plan because so much is at stake.

The biggest thorn in the team's side is not Benedict, however, but a fellow thief known as the Night Fox who is determined to prove that he is the best. Wherever Ocean's crew shows up, the Fox has already been. So, in order to get the money, Daniel and Rusty have to figure out how to outfox the Fox. The funniest parts of the movie are Linus' (Matt) attempts to become a more polished thief and negotiator. He is really fun to watch.

As is often the case with some of the bigger celebrities in romantic scenes, they tend to lack chemistry on the screen. There is nothing between Brad and Catherine and even less between George and Julia. It is the friendship and brutal honesty shared amongst the fellas that made Ocean's Eleven such a great buddy flick. It is the lack of focus on those same relationships that makes the sequel a yawner at times.

You all know that I love my guys - - Brad, George, Don, Matt. However, it just did not click. As expected, everyone looked really great. How can they not? Still, I drifted a few times, which should not be easy to do with that much talent and that much good looks on the screen.
