Effective timewaster

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2001)

Oceans 11 is not a great movie. It is good, the acting varies from very good to excellent. The plot itself is very mundane. Overall it was a waste of a superb cast. Both Matt Damon and Carl Reiner were exceptional. The weakest member was Julia Roberts, but she wasn't terrible, just OK (of course she didn't have a lot to work with). Personally I'm amazed it's doing so well at the box office. For what it is, it is not too bad. It's been done better, but there are far worse movies out there.
