Surprisingly fun, with great actors, and amusing secondary characters. I of course would want something a bit more serious, with a different ending, but that would be a different movie, and nowadays have to be happy with this. Either way Pierce Brosnan and Ellen Barkin kick ass at 70!

Watched it on the weekend as well. Found it to be a lot more funny than I was expecting.
Not every joke hit. In fact there are a lot of misses... but I found myself laughing a lot throughout. Richard Kind steals the movie IMO. Every scene he is in is amazing.

The ending doesn't make sense from any sort of logical view and takes it down a notch or two for me.

Yeah, it's kind of his amplua, he played the same type of character for 6 seasons on Spin City.
Same for the 'goody two-shoes' recurring character of Adam DeVine on Modern Family.
Everyone here is in their comfortable space, I'd say.

And yeah, the ending with the money and the safe just doesn't make sense.
