What Parents Need to Know
This review of Ocean's Eleven was written by Nell Minow
Parents need to know that this movie has some strong language and some violence (no one hurt). The main characters are thieves, con men, and just plain crooks, and we are expected to be on their side.

- Families can talk about why heist films are perennially popular. How do the writer and director make us root for the crooks? What is it that we enjoy so much about seeing a robbery? Is it the fantasy of instant millions? The fun of seeing how they solve the unsolvable logistical problems? Watching them respond on the spot to the unexpected? Which character did you like the most?

More on Ocean's Eleven
What’s the Story?
In this loose remake of the 1960 film starring Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack, George Clooney plays Sinatra's part, Danny Ocean, this time just out of prison (in the tux he was wearing when he went in) with an idea about robbing three casinos of $150 million. The only problem is that the vault that holds all of their cash is "a security system that rivals that of most nuclear silos." But Danny figures if he can get a good team together and a bankroll for some equipment, he can make it work, Mission Impossible-style. Danny connects with his former partner-in-crime Rusty (Brad Pitt), and they gather a team of men with various criminal talents.
Is It Any Good?
With enough genuine Hollywood star power to light all the neon signs in Nevada, OCEAN'S 11 is a good old-fashioned, Hollywood heist film fun. Part of the pleasure of the film is that we feel that we're listening in on real conversations, and find ourselves leaning forward as though each of us is in on the deal with them.
One problem, though, is that there are just too many goodies on screen. It's hard for us to adjust our expectations for star turns by the high-wattage cast (which includes Matt Damon, Bernie Mac, Don Cheadle, and Julia Roberts, to name just a few). There are so many stars that we don't get to spend enough time with any of them. Old-timers Elliott Gould and Carl Reiner are magnificent in small roles, and a couple of young TV stars drop by for a slyly hilarious cameo. And Brad Pitt turns in a performance of effortless charm, subtle and witty, completely in service to the character and the movie and yet completely movie star mesmerizing.

my favorite movie ever!!!
really great movie!!! sure the role models are terrible, you know robbers. but hey. there is also one use of the f-word and some other curse words. violence wise, there really isn't any. in the beggining there are a few "stripper" kind of people that rusty is watching but you don't see them very much. plot may not be interesting to some, but i like it. if your a person who deosn't like "getting" things heres a warning. the language is one of a kind that you probably won't know and there is a lot of subtle things between danny and rusty.

enjoyed it, but not for young kids
Okay yes I would have to say I enjoyed this movie. I think that this movie is on for ages twelve and up, because of the message. People stealing from others is really not the most usful role model.

Intense, unpredictable, fabulous older-kid movie
My friend and her younger sister (ages 13 and 11, respectively) love the Ocean's movies. With the star-studded cast, including George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Brad Pitt (swoon), the sophisticated humor, and the complicated plot line, these movies are good for 12-17 year olds and their parents. I personally have only seen the first one. The basic plot is that Danny Ocean, an elite criminal, has been released from jail and is planning the ultimate casino heist. Danny's group of the eleven most brilliant men in the business plans to rob the extremely high-security vault of three of the most famous casinos in Las Vegas, who happen to be owned by Danny's ex-girlfriends new man, Benedict. Trouble unfolds on the night of the heist, including a heart-stoping moment when one of the robbers nearly dies. The final twenty minutes go completely wrong, scaring the audience into thinking that the robbers have lost their millions. But no, in a shocking twist that is seed planted during the duration of the film, Danny's group wins. It left me wanting more, and it's a perfect mystery-thriller. There is not much PG-13 about it, other than the obvious violence, but there is one pole dancing scene, lots of drinking, and gambling the casino. Overall, an excellent movie!

Entertaining movie, but alot of language
Parents should know, that though this movie is a fun movie to watch, there is alot of language. 1-3 uses of the word f**k, as well as alot of s-words. Other than the language, there is some sexual content, but nothing a twelve year old shouldn't see. I reccomend not allowing a kid under the age of thirteen to see this

Ocean's 11~ Just as good as the original.....(sortof)
Just as good as the original.....(sortof).... I say that because of the premise of the movie is to rob 3 casino's. Ok so whats the big deal? the Original movie was set in the 50's-60's where the technology of security was lax at best. Now-a-days theres alot more going on behind the scenes in a casino regarding security. So the whole premise of the ending (how they 'get away with the loot') had to be redone. Briliant! I watched the movie thinking how are they going to do this (being a fan of the Rat Pack and seeing the first movie) Wont give away how they did but Just Briliant! Clooney & Pitt are great together. The rest of the "All-Star" cast is equally well played. Over all a VERY ENJOYABLE movie. Worth every second. Keeps you visually and mentally entertained. A must for any True movie goer. Every time this movie hits HBO I know what im doing for the next 2 hrs. If you havent seen this movie, DO SO! Also I recomend watching the Original, its in Black & White, yes they used to make movies this way... and it is equally entertaining.

Great movie.
I like this movie a lot, but it might be because I've seen the second one. Definitely see this one, but unless you love the series, don't see the second one, even though it's important to the story. Ask someone who has seen it to tell you what happened.
