The laughs are few and far between, with most already given away in the trailer.
Yet as a team, no-one seems to know their place in the hierarchy, and therefore deliver overly restrained performances, the result being a lacklustre film. While the cast is no ‘New Year’s Eve’, the film's star-meter is still pretty high, boasting the likes of Alan Alda, Eddie Murphy, Casey Affleck, Tea Leoni, Matthew Broderick, Gabourey Sidibe and Michael Pena.Īs performers, we’ve seen them all carry a film and carry it well - some better than others, with Sidibe being nominated for an Oscar for her role as 'Precious' in the 2009. The film sees a group of employees at an exclusive New York apartment tower, try to rob its number one resident after he steals their retirement fund. This all-star cast, lead by Ben Stiller and under the direction of Brett Ratner ('Rush Hour', 'X-Men: Last Stand') is the comedy/actor caper for those of you out there who have already seen/don’t want to see ' Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol'.
the poor man's ‘Oceans 11’ - which also just happens to have been written by ‘Oceans 11’ scribe, Ted Griffin.
