Quirky goodness

Rating: 8/10 (12 July 2006)

Ocean's Eleven brings nothing but smiles to my face every time I see it. The aspect I enjoy most in this flick is the overall light atmosphere given to a very serious act (robbing a casino in Vegas). Clooney and Pitt make an awesome tag team of dry humor and brilliant masterminds of this movie. And the fact that Pitt is shoving something in his mouth almost every scene he's in just adds to his sarcastic character. Other than the two head honchos, the rest of the eleven do their job and do it well. Terry Benedict was played a bit dry for my tastes, but it was consistent throughout the film so at least it's a dislike I can appreciate. On a side note, the soundtrack fits absolutely perfectly for this quirky joyride of a movie. I would give this movie somewhere near a 7.5 on the whole.
