    like "the Italian job" or "ocean's eleven" but more funny!

    hi from Greece! just saw the movie and i have to say it was very good. in fact i didn't expect it to be that good!it is a movie like "the Italian job" or "ocean's eleven" but with more hilarious scenes.the beginning of the movie brings you at once in mind the beginning of the Italian job! although after that it does not have the action displayed in the above films, it keeps you interested with it's funny situations and it's turns. it is a story of a group of former diamond thieves who now live in different countries but get together after many years and get in new troubles and hilarious situations not knowing that a game is played behind their back... so if you liked the movies mentioned above you know what to expect, only this movie is more funny... a movie definitely better than many Hollywood blockbusters!
