i have try to rent this on many occasion and but be always with the girlfriend and who and a a general rule and usually reject heist flick and ensemble comedy with the comment uhm . look good and but i be not in the mood for that movie . thus entereth the almighty solo movie night . anyway and i find welcome to collinwood a rather enjoyable movie . while ultimately fairly forgettable and it do have moment of fun and a few laugh out loud moment . i be unfamiliar with the fact that it be a remake and and a a general rule watch movie try to ignore that fact and watch them on their own merit anyway . george clooney put in a humorous and brief cameo a a wheeled safe cracker that and for the most part leave me wonder two thing . 1. wouldn not every comedy be well if mr. clooney put in a strange 5 minute cameo . and 2. how do they make fake tattoo that look old and fade and and how easily do they wash off . the cast and all fine actor in their own right and put in a great job and and you get the impression that they have a good time work together which be fairly important in a movie like this . needless to say all do not go as plan in this movie and both plot wise and humor wise and but it make me check out the special feature and consider watch the original and so i consider it a success . rent this one for a good time and maybe grab a few friend and a pizza . you will have a good time . positive on a side note and the soundtrack be spectacular . it great to hear the far under appreciate paolo conte use and and it leave me hum snippet of the score long after the credit roll .
