Ocean's Eleven Reviews
As we live and breathe, Steven Soderbergh is making the best kid-stuff for adults since Howard Hawks put Cary Grant in a sombrero. It's no small achievement.

Fun heist movie for older kids and their families.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 26, 2010
A lark for everybody concerned, including the audience.
Full Review | Dec 10, 2008
This wholly enjoyable entertainment sees Soderbergh setting himself a new challenge - the hi-tech robbery procedural - and relishing the clichs even as he freshens them with a dab of polish, wit, pace and a light touch of irony.

A ridiculously enjoyable caper...

It can, at times, be forgettable in a fun way, especially when its funniest performers are caught in Soderbergh's spinning crosshairs.

Forget Oscar, Ocean's Eleven is the coolest damned thing around.

[A] triumph of style and story...

The banter is droll and dry, the action is brisk, everybody looks great, and everybody gets to do a bit.
| Dec 9, 2001
It's a kick, it's a gas, and it gives the Rat Pack itself a run for its money.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 9, 2001
Despite dashes of droll dialogue from screenwriter Ted Griffin, the remake aims for cool but instead gets chilly.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 7, 2001
Buzzes along at a mildly entertaining pitch from start to finish.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 7, 2001
Soderbergh's crisp, funny heist flick makes out like a bandit. George Clooney and Elliott Gould steal the show.
| Dec 7, 2001
Despite a lot of snappy dialogue supplied by screenwriter Ted Griffin, Ocean's Eleven bogs down in technological minutiae, pointless set pieces that aren't very funny and by indulging the urge to constantly sell itself.

Pure Hollywood moonshine.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 7, 2001
The new Ocean's Eleven is altogether different -- it isn't content to let star power, shtick and easy camaraderie carry the day; it works for your money.
Full Review | Dec 7, 2001
To be sure, Soderbergh has proved his entertaining point, and done the Rat Pack one better, converting a paltry failure into a paltry success. But just how cool is that?
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 7, 2001
Vigorous, involving entertainment.
