'Ocean's Eleven' is a buddy movie made with real buddies, and it's fun. 'Ocean's Eleven' is a weak heist film with the emphasis firmly on light humor, and few diverting escapades, but nobody cares because the cast includes the biggest stars of the day (Frankie, Dino, Sammy etc.), burning the motion picture into the collective memory of the public as the first to showcase Hollywood's notorious Rat Pack. Compared to Jules Dassin's 'Rififi,' or to Phil Karlson's 'Five Against the House,' it pales considerably. The film stops all too frequently for guest spots and in-jokes, with a slow first hour. The only real pleasure in "Ocean's Eleven" is being let into the Rat Pack circle for a couple of hours.
