The real crime of this movie?  Having the calibre of actors like Tom Wilkinson and Paul Giamatti and pushing their far more interesting battle of wits as corperate head honchos in the skincare industry aside for the tepid romantic daisy pulling of Owens and Roberts.  If you want a tightly written, sharp, wonderfully cast and acted con movie without too much higher Hollywood paparazzi glitz, rent 2003’s Confidence with Rachel Weisz and Edward Burns (and Paul Giamatti).  If you want a messier, wants-to-prove-its-smarter-than-you-but-damn-pretty film, go back and watch Clooney, Pitts, et al in their Ocean’s Movies.  Ocean’s Eleven is still a good choice just for the airport scenes.
