Over deze film

Harry Deane (Colin Firth) is a man with a plan. Art curator for media tycoon Lord Lionel Shahbandar (Alan Rickman), Harry devises an elaborate plot to con Shahbandar into purchasing a fake Monet painting. With the help of beautiful rodeo queen PJ Puznowski (Cameron Diaz), the pair hatch a scheme to fool Shahbandar into believing that Harry's expert forgery is the real deal and pocketing a hefty sum in the process. But with the con proving harder to pull off than he had first intended, Harry and PJ find themselves in increasingly hilarious situations in order to see the job through to the end.

Beoordelingen en reviews

Initially quite engaging but quickly became a little weak. Found that there was a good chunk that just felt it was missing the mark, poaching and chemistry a little off, and not by much. It improved as it went on and although the plot was fairly ropey I'd say it passed the evening well enough.

Kind of dull but entertaining enough, it may be a recent release but the £3.50/4.50 SD/HD price is too high for such an average film. Requires 2GB of space for the HD version.

So middle of the road it should receive a £100 on-the-spot fine and three penalty points under the government's new careless film-making measures.
