Arrgh, I'll probably see it in the same way I'd rubberneck a car crash. The interviews look like same 'ol same 'ol but delivered over the top.

I don't know...Watching the trailer just makes me think of Best of Breed and Spinal Tap. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I actually have this on DVD.

It is being offered on Ebay by one of the producers.

It is definately entertaining for people interested in poker. My only complaint is the movie does not quite know whether it wants to be a bunch of short interviews with well known pros or if it wants to be the story of a lady taking a shot at the tournament circuit. Being both takes a little away from the movie.

I personally liked it but I can see where a lot of people may not.

Don't go into it expecting a lot of extensive pro interviews. There are a lot of pro interviews that last 20-30 seconds.

Hopefully it will come to IFC. (Channel 550 for those of your with DirecTV.)
