Critic Consensus: While some have found the latest star-studded heist flick to be a fun, glossy star vehicle, others declare it's lazy, self-satisfied and illogical.

All Critics (183) | Top Critics (42) | Fresh (100) | Rotten (83) | DVD (18)
Ocean's Twelve is busier, messier and thinner than its predecessor, and while it looks like the cast is having a blast and a half, the studied hipness can get so pleased with itself it borders on the smug.
Hits a new low in condescending facetiousness, with no fewer than 15 performers of varying talents, tongues firmly in cheeks, undercutting all the genre's action conventions while camping up a storm on two continents.
It does the hard work of being a light, smartly turned-out amusement, the sort of thing that's becoming more and more rare on the movie landscape these days.
May be one of the most glamorous, goofy and heartfelt films about failure ever made.
Some of the bits are hysterical, but others fall flat.
In this sprawling oglefest, such things as 'narrative' and 'story' are remote little abstractions indeed.
Audience Reviews for Ocean's Twelve
Ocean's Twelve makes a fair attempt in developing some complexity in its story, even though the shaky direction and unnecessary plot points will make you think otherwise. Clooney, Pitt, Damon, Roberts, new addition Zeta-Jones and cast continue with their shtick but not enough to hide the blemishes that weigh down the film. 3/5
Super Reviewer
Bringing back this star studded cast for one more round may seem like a good idea before the writing stages of this film began, but honestly, it just retreads everything that happened during the first film, while trying too hard to top the dialogue and clever plot points. In the end, this film kind of falls flat on it's face, because everything just falls into place far too easily. Everything falls apart in the beginning when Terry Benedict, whom they robbed in the first film wants his money back, for no reason, because he clearly states that his insurance already paid it back to him. They find a way to get the money back, which seems too easy, and obviously it is, because they can't accomplish it. This film has no idea whether it wants to be believable or not. Halfway through I started getting bored and I really didn't care if these guys got placed in jail or succeeded. "Ocean's Twelve" had too much going for it, for what it actually is.
