Also, unnamed forum member ruined my interest in this movie by telling me he/she heard it sucked. I just want unnamed forum member to know how upset I am by that.

No, this is a different movie... I told you how bad I thought the new Burt Reynolds poker movie is. It's called Deal, I think. I'm still very much looking forward to The Grand, which is a completely different movie.

For those who want to read a review, which gives my opinion of the quality of the Burt Reynolds film Deal which has nothing to do with the movie we're all looking forward to, but doesn't give away the plot....

TEH SPOLIERS????!??!!!! Maybe

This might be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The plot is something that I could write myself if given a matchbook cover and a pencil while taking a 10 minute sit-down break in the men's room of the Imperial Palace after regrettably trying their buffet. The acting sucks. The only saving grace is that it's relatively short. Whomever produced it should be bankrupted, whomever starred in it should be blackballed, and whomever wrote it should be shot. I am 23.7% dumber for having viewed it. I thank the bastard on pocket 5s who posted a link it on some russian pirate site because they saved me the few days of Netflix time this movie would have taken up instead of renting the 5th disk of the 3rd season of Babylon5. If all poker movies were like this one no one would play. View it with friends, with beer, and with a sense of humor because if you watch it for real entertainment you're going to hate life.

The movie may suck, but the trailer was OK. Richard Kind (Paul Lassiter from Spin City) seems to have a funny-ass role in this flick. "I'm actually playing a hand with Tex Brunson". That, and the Party Poker t-shirt might be a tell!!!

Well I did enjoy the trailer. It alone (sadly) automatically puts the movie as 2nd on the Best Poker movie list...well maybe 3rd 'cause I guess Rounders qualifies as poker-related.

On a similar note, I just saw Lucky You a couple weeks ago. I laughed at the ridiculous and stereotypical crap shown in every scene of that movie and was saddened by having wasted my time with it. I remember wanting to make a post like:

lol @ guy winning then being called back due to misdeal then losing
lol @ guy making speech and calling massive all-ins twice with lowest pair

etc...but the list quickly got way too long.

In summary, I too am looking forward to this new movie.
