Smart sexy fun

Rating: Null/10 (8 December 2001)

Sorry, but I have to disagree. I found this film very enjoyable. Clever, quick, smart, sexy. A fun ride - good script, solid performances. Clooney and Pitt make a great team - they both have the same down-to-earth, shrug-and-grin cool vibe about them. Very sexy in an understated way. The cast is excellent - everyone did very well. I'm not usually impressed with Julia Roberts (though I don't begrudge her), but she turns in a solid piece of work here.
Sure, it's not Shakespeare. It's not even Mamet. But then, it doesn't pretend to be. It's just an enjoyable ride, well made and definitely worth the price of admission. I like it!
