No contest. Micmacs.

I immediately thought of Ocean's Eleven after watching Micmacs. Micmacs has a similar storyline, but casted with the inmates from One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest rather than the slick, smart, good-looking Hollywood A-listers of Oceans. Micmacs also had a Terry Gilliam feel to it. To me, Oceans was captivating and exciting; Micmacs was charming and fun. Both are definitely worth seeing and recommending.

Micmacs was better. I agree with the Terry gilliam feel to it. But i feel it was more lucky number slevin than oceans.

Ocean's Eleven by far. Micmacs is whimsical and fun, but it's lesser Jeunet, whereas Ocean's Eleven is one of Soderbergh's best films. Ocean's Eleven is complex and engaging. He finds a way to keep the audience involved in the plot so that they can understand what's going on. I found it much more difficult to follow Micmacs. It was almost like Jeunet was trying to make the plot more complex than it actually was.
