This is what movies are all about

Rating: 7/10 (27 July 2007)

Silly, over-indulgent fun with a great cast and crazy storyline.
The Cast in Ocean's 11 was spectacular. To add Al Pacino in the mix makes it even more spectacular. The departure of Julia Roberts makes it even more fun.
This time it's not for money...it's for revenge...and money. Lot's of silly humour, funny dialogue and bad acting. Perfect! The director and actors try to remind you that this is a film and as such none of them take any of it seriously. However this has the effect of putting a smile on your face and adopt a "just go with it" attitude.
Clooney and Pitt don't put any effort at all into their performances, they might as well be sitting on their couch at home scratching their nuts. But neither did Dino and Sinatra. But the chemistry between them is amazing. The final scene sees them making fun of George's real life bachelorhood and Pitt's real life Kid-fostering obsession with Angelina Jolie.
A noteworthy performance from Andy Garcia, who usually doesn't do "Hollywood" movies. He joins Pacino on screen again for the first time since Godfather 3, although they don't share any screen time together.
The one who steals the show is Matt Damon, Look out for him trying to seduce Elen Barkin.
See this movie, it's great fun and reminds you that cheesiness done properly is fantastic.
