#Scott schwartz oceans 11 movie#

It is sad when moviemakers today have to add objectionable content to a movie just because they know it will make them more money if they get one rating over another. So in one sense I was glad it did not have anything else objectionable (minus a short scene with some dancers).

If it were not for the two f-words (which you never used to hear in PG-13) and the very unfortunate cursing, this might have made the PG rating. It seemed as though this was one of those movies that they had to actually add some profanity to in order to give it the higher rating, for as we all know, PG movies just don’t appeal to the mainstream audience like they used to. Positive-I went to see Ocean’s 11 with a few doubts partly because of the bad reviews the original movie had received, but I have to say that I enjoyed the movie and I felt it well worth my while to spend a Friday night watching. I’d say Hollywood did a pretty good job of bringing this movie back to the big screen. Kids should stay away, but for teens and up this may be a pleasant time. Or, for a thought-provoking look at what a large sum of money obtained through questionable means can do to a life’s relationships, see Billy Bob Thornton’s “ A Simple Plan”. it’s the decision that counts, and stealing, no matter what or its value, is clearly wrong according to the Bible (see “ What does God expect of me?”). $150 million split eleven ways? Hmm… I think there’s enough FLESH in all of us to ponder that for a moment or two. Chances are teens who see this film won’t run out to become high stakes gamblers or decide to pull off a heist of their own. However, it’s pretty obvious this film is just good fun and nothing that any rational person would take too seriously.

How often does that happen?įrom a Biblical perspective, this movie does capture the bright lights of the Las Vegas casinos including cigar smoke, shots of hard liquor, and plenty of money money money-all in a somewhat glamorized setting due to the pretty faces of Julia Roberts, Pitt, Damon, and Clooney. So while I can’t compare the two, several critics are actually proclaiming this remake even better then the original.

It would be interesting to compare this remake with the original, which starred Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr. The language is very mild with only 2 “f” words, an obscene hand gesture, and a couple of religious profanities. The only sexually suggestive content included some showgirls/exotic dancers as background candy in a scene, but not displaying much skin. It was very entertaining and surprisingly clean compared to other films of its genre. “Ocean’s Eleven” is without a doubt a fun way to spend a few hours on a Friday night. Brad Pitt’s character ate through the whole movie-what’s up with that? Maybe it’s an inside joke?! Reiner gives a wonderful performance, and for Clooney “Ocean’s Eleven” is his most impressive work since exiting “ER”. But it’s hard not to like this Hollywood hottie “brat pack”, which includes Clooney, Pitt, and Damon balanced out by the older Carl ReinerĪnd Elliot Gould (who also plays Monica’s Dad in TV’s “Friends”). The movie is so engaging that I found myself guiltlessly rooting for these con artists, even though I knew what they’re doing is completely wrong. “Ocean’s Eleven,” a remake of the 1960s film with the same name, focuses on one Danny Ocean ( George Clooney) who puts together a team of eleven men who plan to pull off the most-successful-ever $150 million Las Vegas casino heist.
