Who could resist such a cast....?

Rating: 4/10 (27 January 2002)

When I got to the theatre I would decide which movie I was going to spend my afternoon off from work at, seeing I didn't bother to check out the "scene" before hand. Earlier in the week I saw a trailer for Ocean's Eleven: my first impression was, "..just another stealing from the bad rich guy story" in lusty ole Vegas. But hey, how could I resist seeing Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Andy Garcia, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Elliot Gould all in the same show without bombs ripping apart boats and WWII fighter planes screaming about? So I laid my five bucks down, grabbed a couple of dogs, a pop, and followed a few like minded souls into the place where dreams are made; "Theatre number two, all the way down, first theatre on your left," said my sharply dressed usher. As I awkwardly squeezed the ticket stubb between my fingers trying not to drop my lunch I strolled on in, stadium seating baby! Great, I found a center seat and the movie began, and two hours later the movie ended. I should have trusted my basic instinct,"... big names, flashy trailer with hip music, the obligatory explosions,..Vegas...hmmmm, somebody needs to pay off a new house or something." The movie was fun, though predictable. Can anyone say, "The Mexican?" Kind of a hybrid action packed chick flick. The acting, excellent as usual. Would I see this movie again? Well the trailer (a.k.a. cliff notes) gets an A+.
