I'm a sucker for these movies. The more non-sensical and impossible the heists are the better. It's all about the style. And I enjoyed the meta-jokes like Topher Grace playing himself all strung out and saying he "phoned in that Dennis Quaid movie" and Julia Roberts playing Tess pretending to be Julia Roberts.
Points off for the obligatory scene of the thief impossibly dancing his way through the moving laser security system. We need a moratorium on this scene from heist movies for the next 10 years.

i think i gave this a C when i saw it last winter ... tremendously disappointing IMO, especially compared to Ocean's 11 ... very thin plot
