I liked it

Rating: Null/10 (6 November 2002)

Compared to the 60's classic, this one blows the old one away. This was a fashion/comedy/heist movie. I guess the idea of an ensemble cast with egos bumping egos probably turned a few people off. And some remakes do butcher the originals. Thats a true statement but this remake was definately worth the punch. I liked it. This one was more technologiclly advanced, modern, and polished. And the fashion. Clooney's style appeared sophisticated, Garcia's elegant, Julia's okay, and Pitt's immaculate. The comedic tone in this film was great. The Cahn kid and his side-kick played well off of each other. Damon was bland but appropriate for the role. It would have helped if he had a better physique. Bernie Mack was perfect for his role. Cheadle didn't need the accent but it worked out. Everyone played their part well and it showed. The music and the pacing was appropriate. May be room for a sequel? Overall, I was impressed.
