Ocean's Thirteen

It’s all plot. It’s all tight. It moves fast. And MOST of it is funny. (The Oprah jokes are classic.) The stuff with David Paymer as the hotel critic – not so much. The best part, perhaps a holdover from Oceans twelve, is the secret, ridiculous con artist lingo. “Pulling a Susan B. Anthony at the airport.” “Wearing a Brody.” Etc. Seems as if it was not only designed to entertain the people watching it, but also the people IN it.
