"Ocean's Eleven" is cool, hip, and hilarious!
I saw "Ocean's Eleven" the day that it came to the theater, and I though that it was a really great film from the director of "Erin Brockovich", "Out of Sight", and "Traffic". This movie had just about everything...action, great storyline, and laughs. George Clooney was terrific as Danny Ocean, a recently released ex-con who decides that it's time to go back into the thieving business by stealing over $1 million from a luxurious Las Vegas casino. He and Rusty Ryan (played with excellence by Brad Pitt) plan it all out, etc. But how are they going to pull it all off? Get 9 other guys, of course! Among the 9 are Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, and Bernie Mac. Outstanding job from all of them. Andy Garcia, who plays the ruthless casino owner, Terry Benedict, was superb because I haven't seen Garcia act in a while, and this is kind of a comeback for him. And last, but not least, Julia Roberts. What do I think about Julia? Well...Julia was absolutely great as Tess, Clooney's ex-wife! In conclusion, "Ocean's Eleven" is slick, fast, and funny! This is George Clooney's best film since "Out of Sight". Brad Pitt's best film since "Meet Joe Black". Matt Damon's best film since "Good Will Hunting". Julia Roberts' best film since "Erin Brockovich" and "The Mexican". And Andy Garcia's best film since "Desperate Measures". "Ocean's Eleven" is, truly, one of the best action-comedies ever made in the year 2001. It is so hilarious, so hip, that you'll want to see it again and again!

An all-around great film
With enough star power to light Las Vegas (as long as no one's around with a pinch), Ocean's Eleven comes packed with all the action, suspense, comedy, and George Clooney a girl could want (guys, substitute 'Julia Roberts' for 'George Clooney'). George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Julia Roberts, and Elliot Gould, among others, make the picture sparkle with superb acting, while excellent directing from Steven Soderbergh keeps the picture down-to-earth, funny, and interesting without losing the element of suspense.

The plot, based on the 1960 Rat Pack film of the same title, is equally good; the characters especially are well written and casted. The Ocean's Eleven, as well as other main characters are unique and realistic, and very well interpreted by the cast. Even the costumes used help to make the film unforgettable.

Definitely a firm recommendation for anyone who likes a good movie--this one's got it all, supense, humor, and action. Just be careful while laughing on the edge of your seat; it tends to be dangerous.

Intriguing movie quote: "Ted Nugent called. He wants your shirt back."

Entertaining
I don't know why film critics were so hard on this movie. While the original is pure dreck, this modern update is cleaver and wholly entertaining. Sure there is some campy acting and an over-the-top script, but it is still a fun romp. Julia Roberts is the only major downer as she continues to be unwatchable. Why my town repeatedly employs her is the great conundrum.
