Review of The Grand (2007) by Jarret W — 11 Jun 2008
Great cast Chris Parnell, David Cross, Jason Alexander, Werner Herzog, Cheryl Hines(of Curb Your Enthusiasm), and even Ray Romano, among others all in an improv comedy about the world of poker. All actors are at the top of their game here, but by the end of the movie almost everythings gone flat.
The final game in the movie was apparently a real game where the character who won, won the movie, which though novel and interesting in theory, makes the actors in their final scene all but adondon the characters they'd been developing and try to really play (with a minumum of interaction), which unless your interested in poker isn't very fun to watch.
The first half of the film where we are introduced to the characters is all funny enough, but there's no follow through here. If you like Christopher Guest movies, and improv comedy, or else love poker, this is for you.
