Boy, this really felt like Ocean's 11 for old folks...

7.0 out of 10 is about exactly what i would give this movie. For once the IMDB rating is about spot-on.

It was decently entertaining fluff, and the actors appeared to be having
fun (and what a load of talent assembled! How did they pull THAT off for THIS?)

However, i find it's pretty silly, easily predictable and pretty forgettable.
A sequel is totally unwarranted.

And it is really hard to buy Mary Louise Parker struggling in any way
to land a quality man.

This probably isn't quite as good as Ocean's Eleven, but the gap is small, while the gap between the sequels, whatever that counts for, is massive. Ocean's Twelve tanked, while RED 2 was at least on the originals level.
