Comment.

---------------.

Overall, the movie felt really boring, predictable and unrealistic, its basically a 'smart kid in a casino' movie with some fake chocolate sprinkles. I still don't know why 'Richie Furst', played by Justin, would chase after his boss' woman, 'Rebbeca Shafran', who for the record, looks like Richie's mother rather than his lover. Without Ben Affleck this would be a 'straight to DVD' movie but it still isn't worth the effort or price of a cinema ticket.
