Roo6339 0 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Better than Lucky You? Yeah right! That movie had it all: Acting, storyline, realistic...sw Link to post Share on other sites
Naslund44 0 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 It looks surprisingly decent from the preview.edit: weeee the only one who thinks so! Link to post Share on other sites
ObeyTheDog 0 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 http://www.dealthemovie.com/Looks like the best poker movie since Rounders.I think it looks awful. Bad dialogue, bad acting, makes a movie shet sandwich.Poker just doesn't work well in movies. And trying to WPT/WSOP it all up only makes it more cheezy.If someone wants to make a good poker movie, it needs to be set 30-40 years ago, in back alleys and basement games with unknowns and shotguns.

crocd99 0 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 looks to me like it took the script from "the color of money" and just switch the pool playing with poker. Link to post Share on other sites

pokerinc 0 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 this has all the bad cliche bits rolled together. It's like there's a cpu program that writes scripts, you just plug in the topic, the biggest cliches about it and call Burt Reynolds. Boo-ya, movie.Seriously the AA vs. KK heads up. Maybe Burt justs runs like I do... but still very lame. Link to post Share on other sites

Roo6339 0 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Just watched the trailer. Unfortunately it looks incredibly cheesy. I'd probably still see it... Trailers can mislead sometimes... But I got no high hopes for it. Link to post Share on other sites
Skittles 0 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 "Alex is a cocky, hotshot card playing senior at Yale University. He is the best player there. " -- Is this a biography of Alex Jacob?Edit: And why is Scott "I call all my chips off on full blown monkey tilt" Lazar in the movie? Link to post Share on other sites

reedmcneal 0 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Is it common for previews to show the movie's climactic moment?Sounds like its going straight to video. Link to post Share on other sites
Seany Gee 0 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 The trailer leads me to believe that this is the Poker version of "The Color of Money"same story, Old dude finds young superstar player,backs himthey fall outold guy makes comeback in tournament against the young guythe endexactly the same as color of money Link to post Share on other sites
timwakefield 68 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Burt Reynolds has had too much plastic surgery. Also, the movie looks like a commercial for the WPT. Link to post Share on other sites
loxo 0 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 "I'm her daddy, at least for tonight""did someone pay you"roflI will have to watch it though since she is in it and Wolfmother appears to be on the soundtrack. Link to post Share on other sites
byaaatch 0 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Burt Reynolds has had too much plastic surgery. Also, the movie looks like a commercial for the WPT.Not too sure about this one color of money meets poker. Couldnt they find anyone else but jen tilly? Shannon elisabeth makes everything good though. I looked IMDB and it says 2006 though. Was this suppose to be released awhile ago? Maybe it is going straight to DVD. Link to post Share on other sites
Spademan 94 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 A number of things to point out here...First, the movie looks lame.Second, Seany Gee or whatever the hell your name is, read a ****ing thread before you post, you said the same thing as croc you moron.Third, to all of those who are talking about the cards shown, it's editing and it won't play out that way in the movie.Fourth, Yoda, your joke was stupid, "Smokey and the Bandit" is the best thing Burt Reynolds has ever done. Even without this fact you weren't as clever as you thought.Finally, byaaatch, you communicate like a retard suffering from hypothermia.Final finally, the movie looks lame.

Scanner313 0 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 The only way this movie could be saved is if they dig up Jackie Gleason and have him reprise his role as Sherriff Buford T. Justice!Now THAT, my friends, would kick ***! Link to post Share on other sites
theresa113 0 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 This movie will not have one Oscar nomination but I have a strong feeling most of us will see it. Does it look great? No. Entertaining? Most likely. Hey, even if it is horrendous, it looks like a movie that will give a bunch of one liners to forum (such as back in the Tilt days.) Link to post Share on other sites
