| ReelTalk Movie Reviews |
| Betty Jo Tucker |

| PopMatters |
| Cynthia Fuchs |
5/5 | "The action is tight and the comedy is loose, and the result is a sharp, giddy blast." |
| eFilmCritic.com |
| David Cornelius |
2/4 | "There's a decent heist movie hidden under all that smarm but you have to dig pretty deep to unearth it." |
| Movie Boeuf |
| David N. Butterworth |
C- | "If you ever saw a heist film before, this one has nothing new to add." |
| Ozus' World Movie Reviews |
| Dennis Schwartz |
2.5/4 | "A hip, joyfully contemporary retelling of its vintage predecessor, but someone of director Steven Soderbergh's caliber deserves slightly better than this material." |
| TheMovieBoy.com |
| Dustin Putman |

| Slant Magazine |

| EricDSnider.com |
| Eric D. Snider |
3/4 | "A movie that is the epitome of that old-fashioned good time people have been asking me about.
" |
| eFilmCritic.com |
| Erik Childress |
B | "It's more of a novelty item than a film, really, and most of the fun comes from seeing just about all of Hollywood's most well-known faces show up in the span of two hours." |
| Film Blather |
| Eugene Novikov |
3/4 | "Suffice to say, Ocean's 11 is a safe bet on which you can place your chips on." |
| Movie Eye |
| Frank Ochieng |
B | "Bouncy and amusing...utter fluff, to be sure, but it's
highly enjoyable fluff, far superior to the earlier picture." |
| One Guy's Opinion |
| Frank Swietek |
| "Go and enjoy — give your sense of play a workout!
" |
| Spirituality and Practice |
| Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat |

| ReelViews |
| James Berardinelli |

| Palo Alto Weekly |
| Jeanne Aufmuth |
6/10 | "If you've seen other heist/con movies, you won't find new twists or surprises here, and you'll have little other reason to see Ocean's Eleven than to go star-gazing." |
| Window to the Movies |
| Jeffrey Chen |
C- | "What does it matter if Soderbergh's a far better craftsman than Tony Scott and his ilk when he's lost his soul?" |
| Matinee Magazine |
| Jeremiah Kipp |

| ToxicUniverse.com |
| John A. Nesbit |
7/10 | "...a slick, slight, breezy affair that's easy to take if it's not taken too seriously." |
| DVDTown.com |
| John J. Puccio |
7/10 | "Rarely has a film been as simultaneously pleasurable and as disappointing as Steven Soderbergh's version of Ocean's Eleven." |
| Planet Sick-Boy |
| Jon Popick |

| Moviola |
| Jorge Avila Andrade |
5/5 | "Ocean's 11 was a sea of good times. (Okay I know that was corny...)" |
| 3BlackChicks Review |
| Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel |
2 | "It’s merely OK, but it is completely watchable, and equally forgettable." |
| Cinerina |
| Karina Montgomery |
4/4 | "This isn't by any mean an 'important' film. Heck, it doesn't even try to be. What this is is slick. S-L-I-C-K." |
| Montreal Film Journal |
| Kevin N. Laforest |
B | "Clooney and Pitt have more onscreen chemistry than most celluloid lovers.
" |
| Reeling Reviews |
| Laura Clifford |
3/5 | "One of those rare movies in which it doesn't feel as though the cast's fun is being had at the viewer's expense." |

3.5/4 | "This one is proof that "big" movies can also
be stylish and sophisticated while still being immensely entertaining." |
| Aisle Seat |
| Mike McGranaghan |
4/5 | "Brad Pitt turns in a performance of effortless charm, subtle and witty, completely in service to the character and the movie and yet completely movie star mesmerizing." |
| Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies |
| Nell Minow |
3.5/5 | "A bright and breezy caper flick without any pretensions at all." |
| Shadows on the Wall |
| Rich Cline |
B+ | "No one can fault Soderbergh for restoring a little dignity to the Hollywood event film. Ideally, every big budget extravaganza should be this good." |
| Flipside Movie Emporium |
| Rob Vaux |
3/4 | "Ocean's Eleven" is a very thin, but very slick caper movie. There is no substance to it, but it is a lot of fun to watch." |
| Laramie Movie Scope |
| Robert Roten |
B | "It is all very slick and isn't the kind of flick that you'll watch again and again, but it is a lot of fun and reps a bit of light entertainment for the holidays." |
| Reeling Reviews |
| Robin Clifford |
| "The heist comes off clean, and the twist is satisfying." |
| Eclipse Magazine |
| Sean O'Connell |
| "Soderbergh's crisp, funny heist flick makes out like a bandit. George Clooney and Elliott Gould steal the show." |
| Salon.com |
| Stephanie Zacharek |
2.5/4 | "Free of cruelty and sexuality, free of violence and very much profanity, and free of the pretence that it is something other than a sleek, expert star piece." |
| Film Freak Central |
| Walter Chaw |
| "As light and buoyant as an anorexic skydiver, "Ocean's Eleven" is both smart and funny, a rare combination these days." |
