Definitely enjoyable!

Rating: Null/10 (4 January 2002)

This movie was one of those that I had briefly expressed interest in seeing, but not one that I was actively pursuing. However, upon seeing it tonight, I give it a very strong recommendation to anyone who enjoys...well, the movie offers options for almost anyone who enjoys movies! There are some wonderfully funny lines-particularly from Bernie Mac, one of the highlights of the movie-several truly suspenseful scenes, and all-around wonderful performances from all the actors involved. Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Bernie Mac, Don Cheadle, Casey Affleck, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Julia Roberts... I was not disappointed by any, and very pleased with all. (And for the women and teens in the audience, yes, there are SEVERAL attractive males in this cast, but to the males, no, there is no flesh-baring!) This is a remake of an earlier Rat Pack movie-although I have not seen the movie, I enjoyed this remake very much. The plotline is fairly simple: George Clooney (as Danny Ocean), recently released from prison, has a plan to steal $150 million from a group of casinos. He enlists 11 men to aid him in this: hence the title, Ocean's 11. To say much more would tend to give away a few of the better twists to the plot, so I will simply end by saying: looking for a great movie to see with a friend, a date, or even by yourself? An intelligent movie, with something to offer everyone? And best of all, a movie without gore, or excessive profanity, a movie appropriate for anyone? Make Ocean's 11 your choice!
