Good Vegas Fun

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2002)

Ocean's Eleven had a really cool feeling to it- a cool cast, a cool premise, and it was based in Las Vegas - what more could you ask for? George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon made it easy for me to keep my eyes on the screen (I would love any movie that had those three in it, no matter what the plot was). One thing I didn't notice until the second time I watched it was that Brad Pitt is always eating something in every scene! Casey Affleck and Scott Caan were hilarious in their roles as the brothers from Utah - they reminded me of my brothers. I was also impressed by both Elliott Gould's and Carl Reiner's performances in their roles. It was a nice change to see Elliott Gould in a more intelligent role than the one he has on Friends. Even though I hate to see Andy Garcia as a villain, I think he did an excellent job - his character was easy to hate. I always enjoy Julia Roberts, however I was a bit disappointed by her awkward performance in this movie. It seemed like she was just there to deliver lines - I don't think she really got into the role. Another thing - someone needs to teach her to walk like a lady! That being said, I still thoroughly enjoyed this movie and I would give it 9.5/10
