Rated PG-13 for 'a rude gesture'?
What was the rude gesture? I watched the entire movie with my eyes wide open and I couldn't pick it out. Was it when the older woman thought she was alone and she let out a big fart? Oh, you proper Brits. :P
Anyway, I thought it was a mediocre effort at best. I'm not familiar with the earlier film, but it felt like this one was trying to be too slick for its own good. I didn't even realize the first 15 minutes were meant to be a visualization of the upcoming events because it didn't come across well at all. I guess the end con was good, but who would have thought he wouldn't have had a proper security system? How would he have pulled it off then?
The funniest bit was the whole "pants" sequence at the hotel. It's too bad that after all that effort, he couldn't get the damn vase out.
