DVD delivery was good and fast, but it was not original sealed DVD. during the middle of playing, the DVD jammed/stopped, so I have to use 4xforward to pass. overall, it is just ok.
 Best Gambling Type Movie December 2, 2008

All these gambling based movies have a similar theme but this one was done much better and if you like gambling movies get this one above the others. Many more themes and mild violence and you want to pull for the eventual winner.What more can you ask ? Great acting in this one.
 A FLOP July 9, 2008

If you like poker movies with catchy one-liners or believable scenarios, keep looking. If you watch movies and play on your laptop, text message and eat, well you might miss everything that i found ALL HOLLYWOOD. The side plot was so poorly intertwined/engaging. The background sets were so cheap, a pathetic classroom set. Acting isn't without lots of training, but the characters were more theatrical, overexaggerating their feelings/tone. I sympathize for the director/writer because you know the producer said "we can't do that...or that," with minimal takes and strict deadlines. The video editors had a chipped shoved up their as...not something they could put on a resume. Conversations are spliced. During a tournament, the players splash the pot during all-in calls, but they have different amounts...what no side pots! A ten thousand dollar buy-in with like ten tables and first place pays five million, who's bad at math? After tens of hours watching CSI with its post mordom discoveries, the switch-a-roo scene, unbareable. There is even a poorly cut scene where one guy checks, then the movie spasms and the main character says raise! And 63off. Again, arrgh! Everything was half-arsed.
The main character sets up an image after learning of everyones tells, then instead of playing off that info she plays a second best hand and draws out. I just wished they sought professional advice on how a hand would actually play out. There are so many possible and believable ways a poker game might play out. Why must bad poker scenes play out so amateurish and all in-ish. All in! call. call. call. Sure!
If you saw it you already, you knew what you were in for. If you are going to see the movie anyways...make sure you see the bonus deleted scenes with the asian friends. This is how the movie should have been written. Hilarious scene "Your betting has fluctuation...F*@k-u-asian?" If you like poker movies, but have only seen Rounders, you can see Lucky You. Despite some cheese, a poker fan can appreciate the various poker/gambling situations and you can actually predict the opponents hands because their was some obvious poker consulting.
Okay, so i obviously can't overlook these ficticious inclusions. I gave two stars then wrote this review and deducted one more. I got into film schools, but was afraid i would work on films like this forever, so i chose not to. Kryptonite is to Superman what this movie is to me.
 Very few nice things to say about this movie April 3, 2008
Mad Max (Seattle, WA USA)
A great idea for a movie (also see [[ASIN:B0002DRDB4 Rounders]). A bunch of poor med students try to put together a "dream team" of card players to help with tuition.
But the execution was extremely poor, and the acting was pretty bad. There was hardly any strategy, and both the "dream team" and the card playing took a back seat to an awful plot development between the main character & her long-lost father.
It's hard to imagine how you can mess up such a simple plot, but they actually managed to make the movie a bit confusing. Card players will definitely be disappointed with this one. Actually, I'm not sure who to recommend this to.
