Ocean's 11 is a surprisingly fun film. It takes its time in developing the plot, but once it's there, it is extremely watchable and interesting, not to mention inspiring (it's hard not to consider knocking off a few casinos after watching Ocean's 11).
Sinatra and Martin don't do anything spectacular to re-invent acting, but that's just fine, because they really don't have to. The storyline is peculiar enough and the script is witty enough to keep a viewer interested.
If nothing else, this film is worth watching just to see Cesar Romero as something besides the Joker. Not that this makes him any less evil, mind you.
If I have one problem with the film, it's buying the fact that these 11 men all managed to be paratroopers. There's not a pound of muscle on anyone besides Dean Martin.
So if you can overlook that, it's well worth your time.
