If you want to start your summer with a fantastic movie, look no further than Ocean’s 8. The star-studded female cast, action-filled plot and dazzling diamonds make for a fantastic heist plot. Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett’s characters lead a team of burglars, including Rihanna, Sarah Paulson and Mindy Kaling, who attempt to steal a multi-million dollar necklace from the neck of a famous socialite, played by Anne Hathaway, at the Met Gala.

 

Here’s the trailer!

In many women-centric narratives, added storylines of cattiness ruin some of the best parts of the films. But be aware that Ocean’s 8 is not your typical movie! The ladies demonstrate that teamwork remains imperative to their success, but I won’t give away whether or not they actually escape with the diamonds. You’ll just have to see it for yourself!

 

Stay alert for cameos by Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Olivia Munn and many other celebs!
