A more farcical version of Ocean's Eleven with Ben Stiller attempting to
right a wrong by stealing from a Madoff-type millionaire living at the
penthouse of The Tower. An all-star cast, including Alan Alda, Eddie Murphy,
Mathew Broderick, Casey Affleck and Tea Leoni, delivers the goods in a typical
average construction from Brett Ratner. It's hard to know what kind of comedy
they're attempting here. Sometimes it's straight comedy with subtly and then
it's so ridiculous I had to suspend my disbelief with such force I thought I
might explode. There are some clever moments but nothing that really surprised
me. When it was over I felt disappointed, not that I wasn’t entertained, but with
such a promising premise I had hoped for a better film. Grade: B
