Overall Call:
Steven Soderbergh has put together a great well rounded flick. There's action, humor, and an unbelievable Hollywood romance. Clonney and Lopez connect as they should (I don't see how they'd have had trouble with each other). Don Cheadle and an almost unrecognizable Albert Brooks are especially entertaining. In a world all of his own is Steve Zahn, who is funny anywhere he shows up. It's another Elmore Leonard story made good for the screen. This movie received a fair amount of recognition. If you missed it though, it's a great rental for any occasion (yourself on Wed., a date on Fri., or board on Sun.).

Reasons For Recommendation:
+ Great direction and editing
+ The funny is very funny
+ It's got style
