An all-star cast done right

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2001)

Unlike the tremendous dud and local disappointment that was "Mars Attacks," Oceans' Eleven was phenomenal. The movie had me laughing all the way through it, and better yet, there was hardly a "reality check" error to be found (aside from the screenwriter's obvious lack of knowledge about Provo Mormons, and the post-September 11 editing out of the implosion of the New York-New York for the imaginary "Xanadu") The best part was, it kept me guessing..what will happen now? Now? What's he doing there? Here? Everywhere? A great "Vegas" flip, a great caper, a lighthearted comedy and a heartmelting romance flick..okay...only one romantic scene, but it was heartmelting.
