To overthink is to miss.

Rating: Null/10 (7 February 2002)

This review goes out to all of you who have commented that this film has no great depth. Although that may be true I respond with, does it need it. Picture this for a moment. You are an excellent director who over the years has made some pretty thought provoking films that have a greater message then what's on the screen. You consistently deliver unique characters and have a story-telling style that is hard to match not to mention takes on heavy subject matter. Now that I've painted the picture I ask you, wouldn't you just want to make a film that's fun just to make? I think that if you approach this film with the idea that Steven Soderbergh just wanted to make a film with a few of his friends who just happen to be big stars then you will enjoy it. You must also remember that every film doesn't have to smack you in the face with a message. Sometimes a movie should be enjoyed for its pure entertainment value. Something that this film achieves visually and, you've all said it, with its star power. For those of you who think it should be more I think if you see it again with these ideas in mind you will see a different film. You might even enjoy it.
