If I robbed a bank, would you still love me?

Yoko lent me Ocean’s Eleven the other day. Shortly into the film, I found I couldn’t watch it thinking that anyone would get hurt. Even though they were criminals, thieves, pulling off a major Las Vegas heist, I cared about them, didn’t want anyone to get hurt or go back to jail. Geez, they were criminals! Aren’t we supposed to dislike criminals!?! (And they weren’t even described as profound people, their characters not fully developed, just attractive men, nice bodies, beautiful faces, seductive energy, yumm.)

So I had to ask Yoko what happens and she told me they are successful and no one dies so I watched (and enjoyed) the rest of the film.
