slightly amuzing, ultimately disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (8 December 2001)

The impressive cast of Ocean's Eleven drew me to see the movie on its opening weekend. However, common sense and past experience should have told me that there was no way sufficient time could be given to the development of the several characters without shifting emphasis from the plot; it seems that when a film bills this many well known, talented actors, the best for which one can hope is either a well developed plot or a well developed cast of characters--in this case we get neither. What a shame too. Garcia, Pitt, and Damon have tremendous depth to offer this film.
