Silly, fluffy, film with mostly great actors. As far as this being a remake, with the exception of the Minis, the main characters name, and gold bars, its barely a remake. I mean, how many movies involve some sort of gold heist? How many were full of exaggerated characters? With elaborate escape plans that need to be changed at the last minute? This one uses the same old cliches as many others do, but, this was well done and very enjoyable. This used the cliches better than most. We want fun and we wanna get wasted on the movie experience. The Italian Job did its job.

Going into this film I had some reservations how this would turn out.

>>How can they make it 5 in a row? >>The trailers were not overly enticing except for the animation.

>>I even thought Ellen DeGeneres would drag it down.

Boy was I wrong on all counts. One thing of note is this is easily the scariest of all their movies. Some scenes were either sad or very scary. But beyond all that, this is beautiful to look at. We all knew it would be of course. But what matters most is the story, and this one delivers. Ellen DeGeneres was hilarious and basically stole almost every scene. Great voices as usual and a warm, funny story yet again. The film was bright and colorful and beautiful visually and emotionally. Another homerun by Pixar. That's 5 for 5!

I love time travel movies. This one is great fun. With the exception of "Hard Target" this is Jean-Claude's only decent film. He is a better actor than Segal, which isn't saying much. But this is pure fun. Decent direction and cool effects. Besides, how can you not like a movie Produced by Raimi and Tapert!
