To stay in the loop on more movies like this, you can sign up for weekly Family Movie Night emails. In the 2001 version of Oceans Eleven and the subsequent films, Twelve and Thirteen, a lot of references are made to cons with names. Neither will those sensitive to the male characters' occasional denigration of women and a few racial gags made at Sammy Davis Jr.'s expense. Danny Ocean and his ten accomplices plan to rob three Las Vegas casinos simultaneously.
Households who disapprove of gambling altogether still won't be happy.
That little vignette is as close as it comes to a Gamblers Anonymous PSA. Note that the casinos are shown behaving legally and ethically, even forbidding a prominent celebrity (comic Red Skelton, portraying himself) from exceeding his betting limit. The Las Vegas 'fun city' ambiance of gambling and high times is robustly present, with much drinking, smoking, and other grownup pursuits idealized. In accord with the studio censorship codes of yesteryear, though, crime does not pay in the end (except a modest handout to an innocent, struggling widow).
Not one character questions whether it's morally right to pull off the big casino robbery, just whether they can get away with it. Parents need to know that the whole movie amounts to a glorification of thievery.
