It is nice when you are not expecting much from a film and it pleasantly surprises you. Great fun. Captures your attention from start to finish. Good movie to go on a date to. Slick and memorable.

If you like a 'Feel good' film with a sort of brainy side this film is excellent, the 2 hours flys by. There some obvious plot flaws but the film draws you in and you do end up caring for the characters so these can be easily overlooked. All in all it is a very good watch and a great way to spend an evening, but it is no classic.

Seen these kind of films before, but often the lead youngsters are annoying and don't feel real. Thankfully this wasn't the case. The college kids were charming. Spacey plays his role to perfection. You know what will happen, but it has an entertaining way of getting to the end. Wont win any awards, but a decent feel good movie.

playing blackjack is pretty dull watching somebody else play it is even more dull. This film is dull, dull, dull!

Obviously we got a different film in Grimsby; our version was long,slow & tedious.The cast worked well with a poor script; the direction lacked pace. A waste of over two hours.

Warning: thisis a"teen-flick".Isaw ittoday,with some bored teens,still on schoolholidays. Spacey acts therest off thescreen. He'sclearly doingit for themoney, while hegets on withhis hobby atThe Old Vic.And quiteright, too. Jim Sturgessis weak and themorals ofgambling areneatlysidestepped.The bored teensremained boredby the end andI wasunimpressed.Don't bother.

Over long and predictable, but a fun way to spend an evening.

After watching the original documentary - what a disapointment - why does hollywood have to ruin everything? Did not capture the brilliance of what these guys actually did. And as if he would 'get the girl'. Pap

This film is awful.Not recommended.Kevin Spacey can do much better then this. Not sure who the rest of the Young cast were but they can't act.

I thought this film was actually quite good. I really liked Kevin Spacey's performance, and the story has, like the BBC review says, a definate feel-good factor. Not the best film in the world, but a pleasant one nonetheless.

A fantastic true story. However, instead of giving us a fire-cracker, all that is on offer is a damp squib. Wafer thin characterisation and vacuous performances all round.The BBC documentary is much better.
