The Grand
The Grand is a poker movie that spoofs all things about the poker world. With actors such as Woody Harrelson, David Cross, Cheryl Hines, Gabe Kaplan as well as poker pros like Phil Hellmuth, Phil Laak, and Doyle Brunson. The movie surronds a bunch of charecters that are aspiring to become the champion of the most prestigious poker tournament of the year. Woody Harrelson plays Jack Sparrow a loser in bets and is the owner of the Rabbits Foot Casino where the tournament is held. He enters the tournament to try to save the casino. The movie is not a great movie worthy of awards but is a synical look at a communiy that prides itself in serious nature. David Cross is hilarious in the movie and is quite honestly the best part of the movie. He plays Larry Schwartzman his sister Lainne “cheryl Hines” is a fellow professional who is favored by their father Gabe Kaplan. Cross is quirky and down right wrong. That being said It’s a definat see on cable for free. Don’t rent it unless you wanna waist 5 bucks that you could be spending toward see The New York Islanders and the number 1 draft pick John Tavares. I must say the Isles are back and will bring a cup home to Long Island sooner rather than later
Let’s Go ISLANDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
