Sheer enjoyment

Rating: 8/10 (21 February 2002)

Forget about movies that move you to tears, or prick your conscience, or want to change how you see the world - what Oeean's Eleven gives you is a Good Time, and who could ask for anything more? Clooney and Pitt make a great double act, and it's wonderful to see different acting generations together on screen. Carl Reiner is particularly good, and Don Cheadle's Cockney is hilarious. Only one slight quibble - couldn't they have paid Julia Roberts enough so she could get a decent meal? - she looks half-starved.
