I Might Join this Gang!

Rating: Null/10 (8 December 2001)

"Ocean's Eleven" is entertaining and about as deep as a bird bath. It asserts no pretension to serious comedy but as a "caper" film it delivers some good acting and amusing moments. I especially enjoyed Carl Reiner's performance - I've admired him since the days of Sid Caesar's TV shows when his comic flair was already in full bloom.
Yep, this is a guaranteed money-maker but the holiday audience in the theatre my twelve-year-old and I attended clearly was enjoying itself. Hugely. Given what we've all been dealing with the past three months taking a two-hour hiatus from serious concerns, even seriously good films, isn't so bad.
