I'll keep this one short and sweet.... Unless you can catch a matinee show on a day that you are TOTALLY bored and it's raining cats & dogs outside, do NOT go see this one!! The plot is overly predictable and the ending is just as dull. Bottom line: You don't have to be a Harvard genius to learn how to count cards, and this movie simply doesn't deliver. You would think that the best from Harvard could come up with some more sophisticated signals than a finger to the eye, arm stretching behind the back, and code words for numbers. Michelle
Yes, this movie is based(some what) on the MIT group from back in the early 90's! I have seen the TRUE story on the History channel which is likely far better to watch than this movie haha. Thanks for the review!!
Janie, You might be interested in learning more about the real story and what the kids did. This wikopedia page has lots of info as well as links at the bottom to more info. As the old saying goes.....sometimes truth is better than fiction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_Blackjack_Team Michelle
No...I wasn't kidding.........it was about as exciting as watching a fishing show for 2 hours!! Oh joy!! Michelle
I actually quite enjoyed it...Fun light watch I wasn't expecting an award winner I pretty much expected a dazzling exhibition of vegas and I think it delivered there Oh and Kate Bosworth...Wow
went to see it on friday .. thought it was pretty good ... certainly left feeling i really wanna go to vegas!
