DVD Synopsis

A professional poker player whose astounding luck at the table fails to translate into his lonesome love life attempts to win the World Series of Poker while simultaneously earning the affections of a beautiful Las Vegas singer in a high-stakes emotional drama from L.A. Confidential director Curtis Hanson and Munich screenwriter Eric Roth. When his personal problems threaten to distract him from what could be his biggest win ever, seasoned poker pro Huck Cheever (Eric Bana) finds comfort in the company of singer Billie Offer (Drew Barrymore). Upon preparing for the biggest card game in the country, however, Huck soon realizes that his problems have only just begun when he finds that his opponent at the table will be none other than his estranged father, L.C. (Robert Duvall), a poker legend whose mythical reputation makes him a more than worthy opponent for his troubled son. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Great movie. Robert Duvall plays his professional gambling dead beat dad role seamlessly. Eric Bana's portayal of a struggling professional gambler with a Duvall sized chip on his shoulder couldn't have been better. However, Drew Barrymore's "scorned woman" attempt leaves something to be desired (not to mention her failed attempt to be Billie Holiday.) But, in my humble opinion, Duvall and Bana's efforts far exceed what Barrymore's lacks.

I'm no way a romance fan and I enjoyed this movie becuz it was very light on romance. I think since this movie bombed, they changed the cover to appeal to women. But I liked the story, the poker scene at the end was very intriging. I was anxious to see how it was all gonna play out. Theres some funny scenes, like with Robert Downey Jr. playing his usual sarcastic self. I think guys would like this movie too. A few real poker stars have cameos in the big tournament at the end. I say its watchable especially if you like Eric Bana.
