Definitely, the film is not perfect - it should perhaps have gone through one more script edit. But it has entertainment value in the comedy/ suspense / criminality genre. All things considered, Colin Firth pulled it off quite well. Combining some of the physical comedy scenes would be arguably by far best suited to Rowan Atkinson, in his Mr. Bean persona. But these, along with the badly treated by the boss from hell aspects, along with the suspenseful and human interaction scenes together equal quite a range stretch for an actor's talents. Bottom line, not the best of the Coen brothers, but worth a watch.

Alan Rickman did his job. He showed up to work. He had believable lines and you came away liking him more than any other character. The problem for the Gambit is that is not the protagonist,. The protagonist is a sniveling piece of "work" name Harry Deane who is flawed morally and financially. I actually liked the fact that I was not emotionally invested in the main characters win. Just because the story is told from their point of you that its should be a linear tale of their heroism and triumph. Sometimes a story is just a story that you are willing to follow along with --to learn something or be entertained. -I dislike the main characters being cartoonishly good. So Colin Firth and Alan Rickman did the movie proud in my estimation And had it not been for its other flaws this may I been a winner. I am not sure what country Diaz and Tucci are really suppose to be from.. They are cartoon stereotypes of actually countries. There is a way to do that if you can be in on the joke. But I am not sure it comes off this way. I think had the script completely fallen apart from reality in the last 30 minutes. This is where there maybe a battle of tone. If you are a funnier version of Oceans 11 (spoiler alert) a scene where a multi-millionaire would use a Lion for security instead of any real gadgets available to anyone of means must breaks the audience out of feeling its a smart caper. Had I paid for this movie--I would have found the ticket stand and demanded a refund. I found it on Netflix so I will happily give the late Alan Rickman a decent rating for his performance.

So much fun - whatever the critics say. I like this vesion better than the original.

Nice little caper. Loved Alan Rickman and Cameron Diaz ass in those cowgirl jeans

Not too bad.Rickman had a nice body... :)

Absolutely hilarious! Excellent script, and superb cast.

This movie was shockingly funny and quite good. I love Colin Firth and this definitely shows his comedic side!

Hilarious! Cameron Diaz shines.

it was a really good movie with a surprise ending I liked it. it was funny and interesting.

Colin Firth is amusing as a sad sack con artist.

alan rickman as a nudist was a hoot. unfortunately this is the 2nd movie in 2 days that ive seen where the female lead has an irritating accent. grrrr. still the movie was fun.

The only reason I gave this movie 5 stars was solely because of Alan Rickman's performance. His confident nature was absolutely inspiring to say the least. Not many actors have the ability to perform nude scenes so successfully. His fantastic performance out weighs both Colin Firth and Cameron Diaz in both skills and sexual appeal. The end scene really captured the art that is Alan Rickman. I would definitely pounce on that rockin' bum any day of the week.

I own this on DVD and Blu-Ray.

I thought it was quite funny actually

is a great film really enjoyed it made me laugh
