Go see this movie

Just got back from seeing The Italian Job at a preview tonight and, although I'm biased because of the role the MINI Cooper plays, I have to say - GO SEE THIS MOVIE! I had low expectations going in, but was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this film. All four in our party gave the film thumbs up. Granted, I always recommend that you take any movie review with a grain of NaCl (for those unschooled in the sciences, that's the chemical symbol for Nackle), trust me, you'll enjoy this movie. The Italian Job fits nicely into the category of heist films which include The Thomas Crown Affair, Oceans Eleven, and Heist. If you're a fan of any of those, you'll enjoy this. The dialogue was real and not over the top like most action films. There was little or no foul language (not that I care, but it was refreshing) and the pacing of the story was seamless. My only criticism is that too much is given away in the trailer, but that's a whole other rant. If you want to be entertained, this is your film. And if you don't like it, you're not getting a ride in the MINI.

I had just taken a swig of latte as I was reading up to your “nackle” comment. You came this close to producing the new millennium’s most epic spit take to date. But for my Olympian self-restraint, it would have been a moment of Soupy Salesian proportions.
