The cast seems like they were having fun. But this movie is a chore to sit through. It's such a weird sit. Like the plot points are falling into place but the characters do not really do anything up until the movie is almost over.

A few good songs can't make up for an agonizingly long set-up (they don't even get to Vegas until over an hour into this one) and the heist section is far too short and the follow-up is decent but the end twist is a bit of a bummer. Overall, stick to the remake as this Rat Pack version is nowhere near as entertaining unless you're a really big fan of the era.

I was expecting great things from this, but even before the seemingly endless title sequence was finished I was getting impatient. An hour later, and I was STILL waiting for something to happen. Instead of a snazzy comic heist movie, I was getting a cross between an boys own club and a 50s sitcom with songs tacked on. It's WAY too long, horribly self-indulgent and offers nothing but sharp suits, songs and sexism. Steven Soderbergh's remake is far better.

Far superior to the (still fun) remake with much more developed characters and a ironic, twist-ending of a conclusion. Full of old school Vegas swagger and charisma.
