Laboring under the handicaps of a contrived script, an uncertain approach and personalities in essence playing themselves, the production never quite makes its point, but romps along merrily unconcerned that it doesn't.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Terminally boring.
Young people are likely to find this more appropriate and bewitching than do their elders. The latter are likely to feel less gleeful in the presence of heroes who rob and steal.
The original Ocean's is fun, fun, fun.
The heist itself, though, is a superb piece of movie-making.
