This movie got me grinning. There's a part of us that cannot help be entertained by the sight of someone getting away with something.

Spielberg being Spielberg, he’s surrounded himself with the best that money can buy, from the superb cast to the characteristically superb score by John Williams, and the result is his most purely enjoyable film in ages.

Spielberg rediscovers his sense of fun with this funny, frivolous con caper.

With its extended epilogue, the film feels about a half-hour too long, but the story is so good and there are so many fabulous set pieces that you can't imagine leaving anything out.

The movie is a good time. It not only produces happiness, it is happy.

The movie is -- intentionally or otherwise -- a remarkable parable about denying reality until reality catches up to you.

...the film would've been vastly improved had it been trimmed down to 90 minutes.

The stylish, cartoon-like opening credits reminded me of the snazzy beginnings of the Peter Sellers-Pink Panther movies.

One of Spielberg's finest pieces of storytelling. Helps make up for A.I.

Steven Spielberg’s new film is lighthearted and enjoyable, with just enough undercurrents of human frailty to keep the story interesting.

It's Spielberg who pulls the con by leading us down a familiar path only to rup the rug out from under us.
