The boys are back and the con is on in a sequel to a remake that's all flash and no depth. The script is clever but paper-thin, and nobody appears to be taking any of it too seriously, which is just about enough to keep you amused. That's really all it's aiming at. Highlight: Julia Roberts as Tess, trying to pass herself off as Julia Roberts.
