Saw it at the Realto yesterday. Had to sit too close for comfort, so that influenced the enjoyment. Interesting story, but it played a little too much like a typical "let's get the old gang together and show these young whippersnappers we've still got what it takes" formula for my taste. Hard to take Bill Murray and John Goodman seriously, and Matt Damon, and George Clooney were going through the motions IMHO. As others have said, Blanchett was the best of a mediocre lot. Overall, mildly disappointing.
