The Monuments Men ... In the words of David Spade, Ive seen better stories on the placemats at Burger King. This movie is the product of a George Clooney-Matt Damon power lunch where some ideas were scribbled on a napkin and the napkin became the movie. The last time a star-studded cast was assembled for such a blatant Pay me, I dont need to read the script endeavor? Con Air. Bill Murray and John Goodman play themselves in WW 2 GI gear since there is zero character development. The plot: The Nazis are retreating and taking art with them, freedom loving Allies are in hot pursuit because you may be able to kill a people but you are not allowed to kill their achievements and culture (yes, this sappy nonsense is delivered almost verbatim by George Clooney, who plays himself as well). If youre going to make a movie this bad why not go all the way and have Adam Sandler play Hitler and have Kevin James play Hermann Goring? Call it Grown Ups Save Art.
