I watched Ocean's 8 this weekend, and figured that would be an entertaining time. Lots of famous women leads, story about royal bling, costumes and locations...
But no! It's seriously one of the most Trumpian films I've ever seen. I'm utterly surprised they didn't offer Ivanka a role - maybe they did... All the leads in the film are grifters and crooks and several truly look like painted plastic. The story centers around the Met Gala, one of those big empty celebrity balls, where a jewelry heist goes down. The moral of the thing was that you should con and grift and thieve your way without qualms, and you will become rich and beautiful and feel empowered, with the ability to spend on wasteful luxury - you know, like gold toilets and the like. You should be proud of your thievery and there won't be negative consequences for your evil. Get that money, girl.
I HATED it! The only thing that made it worth watching was Cate Blanchett, because she looked so, so hot.
I think it was supposed to be funny, exciting and sharp. It was just annoyance-inducing and empty.
