Ocean's Eleven/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Estrogen Brigade: Most of the cast.
  • Fandom Rivalry: The distraction for swapping the MacGuffin out is a staged fight between two of the Twelve, one wearing a Boston Red Sox hat, one wearing a New York Yankees hat.
  • Ho Yay: Reuben and Basher in the third movie. Danny and Rusty all the time - in the third movie, they go for walks and tear up together over an emotional episode of Oprah.
  • Idiot Plot: The ending of the 1960 movie. While watching it you start to go, "They can't really be that stupid can they?". Yes, they can. Anyone with half a brain could see it a mile away that hello? dude, make sure that they don't cremate the body. No, the writer can't believe we are going to be satisfied with that, are they?
    • Unfortunately, because of standards at that time, it had to be that way because villains thieves couldn't win.
  • Informed Attractiveness: All the gushing over Tess as if she were simply and utterly the most beautiful woman ever to exist in the history of mankind.
  • Special Effect Failure - Ocean's Twelve suffers from this in any scene involving the laser net at the art gallery. Some of the statues in the scene where Toulour reveals how he used someone with mad acrobatic skills to get past it are this as well.
  • Villain Decay: Terry Benedict is a very intimidating Big Bad in the first movie, but by the third has become an eyeroll-worthy irritant that the gang is forced to put up with and don't take too seriously.
    • The gang knew Benedict would betray them over the diamonds, and had planned accordingly.
  • The Woobie: Don't say that you didn't feel sorry for the real Five Diamond hotel reviewer when the team puts him through the worst hotel stay of his life. Fortunately, he "wins" a several million dollar jackpot as compensation.
