The only thing I regret more than spending two hours of my life watching The Monuments Men is that I didnt write this review of the movie myself: Danny Ocean stars in Saving Private Art 4/10 | CanuckGirl | 7 Feb 2014 If you want to see George Clooney play George Clooney, Matt Damon play Matt Damon, Bill Murray play Bill Murray, John Goodman play John Goodman, and Jean Dujardin play a clichéd Frenchmen (right down to the French beret and scarf). ..in a incredibly mediocre film based on a compelling true story thats badly written and directed, go see The Monuments Men. Its an Oceans 11 team of art curators, historians and architects sent into France and Germany. Their mission? Saving Private Art. The obstacles? Almost none, once they knew where to look. It was apparently the easiest art heist in history. The plus side? its a stretch...but I did like Hugh Bonneville playing someone kinder and gentler than Lord Grantham in Downton Abbey...and Cate Blanchett? Shes always great, but she truly doesnt have much to do here, other than speak with a French accent and look irritated. Dont be fooled by the star-studded cast like I was. This movie is a waste of your money and time. All of these actors have made far superior films. And this story would have been better served by a more accomplished screenwriter and director.
