Nothing could be worse than Lucky You. There has been no decent poker movie, hell Casino Royale would have been one of the best Bond flicks ever if they didn't bring poker into it (tipping the dealer? I mean seriously do they read their own scripts?)

Shannon Elizabeth playing a whore that hangs out with poker players...big stretch.

I've seen an advance screening. It is terrible and the ending is beyond ludicrous. Some megaspoilers in white:

<font color="white"> Reynolds is the retired poker star, who comes across a young kid and mentors him, causing major damage to his relationship with his anti-poker wife. Kid goes on a tear and becomes the latest superstar, until they have a falling out. Both enter the WPT main event, and get headsup, with Reynolds ending up moving all in, the kid calling, and then mucking the winning hand to let Burt win the tournament and redemption. The kid also gets to bone Shannon Elizabeth, his "true love" who turns out to be a whore arranged by Burt Reynolds - no nudity though. Everything in the movie is the most trite, cliched crap I've ever seen, and the play of the hands is vomit inducing, orders of magnitude worse than Rounders. </font>

Dude, that ending sounds EXACTLY like the ending of Lucky You...which by the way, was one of the absolute worst movies I've see in my entire life.
