Groovy excitement, enthralling stars, yet lousy ending.

Rating: Null/10 (7 December 2001)

Having read all the good reviews lately, I was anticipating a terrific film. Hate to be picky, but Julia Roberts' lips looked plumped up, and she's lost most of her appeal, sexuality and panache that she has shown in earlier films. I think they've 'over used' her. Clooney and Pitt do a great job, if you like them to begin with. Everyone is on the edge of their seat, but the ending was such a disappointment to me and my friend. However, it had great visual effects. My favorites were Andy Garcia (ooh that smile, however brief) and Mr. Reiner. So-o-o good to see him acting again. I know this isn't kind, but I kept thinking, wow, would Barbra really want to leave her honey, James Brolin, for our ever lovin' Elliot Gould? No way! All the characters were excellent, and more credit should be given to Matt Damon and the two loonies that wore numerous outfits to disguise themselves.
