Ocean's 8

PG-13
Starring: Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Mindy Kaling, Dakota Fanning, Griffin Dunne, Elliott Gould and Richard Armitage
Running Time: 1 Hour and 50 Minutes

After the very successful "Ocean's" movies; "Ocean's Eleven" in 2001, "Ocean's Twelve" in 2004 and "Ocean's Thirteen" in 2007 we have another smooth "Ocean's" movie with an all-female twist!
Sandra Bullock stars as Debbie Ocean, (the sister to Danny Ocean (George Clooney) in the former "Ocean's" movies). Debbie has just recently been released from prison. She has a personal vendetta against Claude Becker (Richard Armitage) her former boyfriend who framed her.
While serving her time she comes up with a detailed genius plan to pull off a $150 million mega-heist during "The New York Metropolitan Museum Of Art" fundraising gala which is the most exclusive party invitation in America! Debbie knows that Claude will be there!
Debbie starts immediately to contact and build her ultimate "dream team" of all women to help her make this heist a reality. She had searched out individuals with special skills or accessibility to complete her brilliant plan!
Lou (Cate Blanchett) Debbie's good friend, Daphne Kluger (Anne Hathaway) a famous actress, Rose Wall (Helena Bonham Carter) a fashion designer, Amita  (Mindy Kaling) a diamond expert, Nine Ball (Rihanna) a computer hacker, Tammy (Sarah Paulson) a suburban mom who collects stolen goods and Constance (Awkwafina) a professional pickpocket are the women she recruits to make this long awaited plan a reality.
I found this movie to be really entertaining and just all around fun to experience. A great popcorn movie with all the special touches that most women only dream of. High-fashion, beauty, parties, high-society and Diamonds! Lots and lots of gorgeous diamonds, Cartier Diamonds and...
 did I mention Diamonds? It also reminds me a little bit of some of the old "Pink Panther" movies which I loved in my youth!
This is definitely a chick-flick but I really feel men will enjoy it as well.
Parents be advised: This movie is rated PG-13. I think children over the age of ten will be fine with this movie. It deals with adult schemes and crimes to heist millions of dollars from others.I did not find anything really objectionable other than some mild profanity and the f-bomb was dropped one time.
I am giving "Ocean's 8" three and a half bags of popcorn.
