Comments:

I wasn't sure that I would like this movie, but I thought it was really good. I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasn't what I was thinking it would be. It is about Danny Ocean (so not the ocean that you swim in) and he gets out of prison on parole at the start of the movie and immediately violates his parole. It then moves into something like the Magnificent Seven (for a little while) because he and his friend start looking up and finding all sorts of criminals to help them rob three of the largest casinos in Vegas. There is language by several of the characters throughout the whole movie, but besides that, there is nothing especially offensive in the movie, and there is basically no romance at all, which is nice since a lot of movies revolve around that sort of thing. Overall, it was a really good movie.

Reviewer's Comments: Very, very funny, and overall much better than expected. Incorporated great references to the original television series, and the storyline was not nearly as cheesy as it could have been. Steve Carell is great, and I was absolutely thrilled that the part was not given to Jim Carrey. Bill Murray's cameo was much appreciated.
