All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I am unsure why all the actual actors said yes to making this movie... I like poker and poker movies but this is without a doubt one of the worst movies I have ever seen.The acting is bad, the poker scenes are bad and a lot of the time not accurate. I get that it is slap-stick but if you are going to make a movie that appeals to poker players, at the very least make it accurate!If one person reads this and decides not to watch the movie, writing this review was a better use of my time then watching this.I wish I could give a worse review but I don't want to have this removed.

Very funny and hilarious movie showing the colorful and odd personalities in the poker world. Some real pro-poker players staring this movie so their interaction with the actors is even more funny. As absurd and funny some scenes may seem as a guy who watch and play poker a lot it brings me so many memories. The cast is great and when I see some of the actors elsewhere they immediately bring me back to this movie. There are so many quotes from the actual poker players in this movie which are present so well and spot on. Even commentators in this movie are some weird funny guys as it is in the World Series of Poker for example.

The writing is hilarious. David Crook is unbelievable. wish more movies were this funny. so happy with it. if u like arrested development u will like this. if u watch realty TV shows don't bother - you FOOL * Fears of rotation and correction after sector outperformance are dominating conversations. Less conversations about Global Recession and risk to aarnings for energy names, but financials and energy are now falling together (e.g. change in struggle on the "Pain Trade"). Recently, the rotations recently appear to be more defensive (Consumer Staples, Healthcare and Utilities) * Largest selloffs in energy are in the E&P names (EPX Index), which has had 4 major corrections (10%+) from trend this year. See attached chart. The first selloff in the beginning of the year broke the 200 day moving average. Then, resumed the bull trend. A 20% correction is considered a bear market, don't think we are there or going there, but people are concerned about the amount of "hype" that resource names have been given due to timeline to bring on production, consistency of acreage and well economics.

This movie was sublime. I love improvisation and it was so interesting to see this ensemble cast able to do this. I loved how the games that they were playing was in an actual tournament, which I had no idea of whilst watching the movie, only after reading this IMDb profile. It is also interesting to note that the final poker game in the movie was not scripted and that it was actually a game between woody harrelsson and cheryl hines (not the $10 million at stake though).For myself, I found that David Cross was the star. His dead pan style as well as his hilarious anecdotes and almost Gervais-like ability to create awkwardness made th scene with him in it an absolute treat to watch.This movie will not disappoint anyone who can appreciate non-scripted humor and how difficult it is.Adrian
