George Clooney, Bernie Mac, Brad Pitt, Elliott Gould, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle and Julia Roberts play off one another as if they have been acting together all their life. With a cast like this do you need any other reason to watch such a film, besides the excitement and the magic?

Close to the 1960’s Ocean’s Eleven, here is an exciting adventure and puzzle to watch. Ocean’s Eleven starts with a bang and ends with a complacent group standing in front of the Bellagio fountain light show. Danny Ocean (George Clooney), recently released from jail, gathers just the right group of con artists, pick pockets and immoral crew to pull off the biggest con ever, robbing three Vegas casinos owned by Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia).

Ann Marie (Kate Bosworth, before she became a bobble head) plays a surfer girl who lives in a shack with her 2 friends, Eden (Michelle Rodriguez) and Lena (Sanoe Lake), and her little sister Penny (Mika Boorem). She’s left with the care of her little sister who goes through her rebellious teen days, staying out late and hooking up with really bad surfer guys. Not only does Ann have to worry about her sister, but is always struggling with bills; Ann, Eden and Lena work as maids at a luxury resort trying to make ends meet. She wakes up bright and early in the morning and hits the waves, trying to overcome the tragedy of last year’s Rip Masters surfing contest where she wiped out and almost died. However, there is nothing she wants more than to prove herself as a serious and bodacious surfer chic, but she struggles with the nerve to get out there and do it.
