We're No Angels is pleasant I'll say that much. It often left me with a smile on my face, but it never had me laughing out loud. DeNiro and Penn do great work together, having very good chemistry with one another, and it took a risk by going over the line, but managed to keep it amusing and fun. It moves along at a decent clip, with an extremely good opening of Bobby|Russo|, Ned|DeNiro| and Jim|Penn| escaping from prison, it was funny and very exciting. This is also the 1st movie we get to see the potential of John C. Reilly's comedic ability, his bumbling Monk persona often made me chuckle.
Performances. Robert Deniro is quite humorous and amusing here. I laughed at the way he got annoyed with Demi Moore's character, or his silly little prayers to get out of trouble, he was a lot of fun. Sean Penn surprised me by giving a decent performance. He was amusing, and added a lot of fun. Demi Moore is not bad as the out spoken Mom. She had her moments to be sure. James Russo is amusing as Bobby, he had good chemistry with Deniro and Penn.
Bottom line. This is quite pleasant and passed the time nicely. I would never consider it a milestone in either's career, but it's certainly a decent movie. Worth the watch.
6/10
