There Goes the Neighborhood (1992)
Has some funny moments
I'd give this movie an 8 for an original story, good acting, and some funny moments. The movie is certainly not a classic, but Jeff Daniels and Catherine O'Hara are both excellent and the movie has some genuinely funny moments.
The thing that really makes this movie, though, is the supporting cast. Jeremy Piven has a funny, albeit small role. Hector Elizondo is funny as a scheming husband. Chazz Palminteri shows off some comedy chops and has some funny moments. While the gangsters are stereotypical, it does result in some laughs.
Overall, this movie won't be among the all time greats nor will it necessarily make your top 10, but it is a good, funny movie to watch and worth the price of a rental.
Ocean's Twelve (2004)
Not very good
I gave this movie a 5 out of 10 only because the acting is pretty good and the cinematography and locations are nice. Other than that, 2 hours of wasted time. The movie is way too cute for its own good. That is the only way I can think to describe it. The plot, such as it is, is paper-thin and all messy. Bernie Mac makes hardly an appearance in the film. Not enough of Don Cheadle either for my liking. Just way, way too many shots of Brad Pitt smiling into the camera, too many inside Hollywood jokes, the awful inclusion of the Julia Roberts story. Overall, the movie was just too cute for itself and too "nudge, nudge, wink, wink" for my liking. I enjoyed Oceans 11, but 12 is not worth more than one viewing, if that.
