Aces

First of all I knew what I was getting myself into when I watched this film. I knew it was going to be badly produced, acted, etc. But that doesn't explain the mess this movie was.

Plot holes were common in this movie. The acting was hilarious. But most importantly, the audio was very awful. It wasn't really the camera shots that bothered me as some of the cinematography was actually pretty good. Yeah some of the camera shots prolonged but they did well for the 5 dollar budget this movie equipped. The audio was horrible. It was not at all clear and it would be amazing if they even boom-miked the actors. The three girls were hilariously awful except maybe Brooke (Lacey Toups). But she still wasn't anything special but very attractive.

The whole plot was three girls would cheat their way in poker games by simply putting a dye on all the aces. Than Toups character would put on x-rayish glasses that would see the dye so the other players couldn't. Eventually Toups' character got tired of cheating and wanted to win for real.

It was also funny how this movie was "unrated" when it very much could just be labeled as an R rated movie. The f-bombs were very badly placed and seemed to be thrown in their to give in the R/unrated rating. There was only one nude scene that had nothing to do with the movie and was hilarious how badly the director tried to fit it in the storyline.

I have to admit, the producers had connections because it is at the videostore that I work at.

For bad acting and three girls who cant even spell poker then this movie is for you. I have never acted in my life and could do a better job then these girl. They must of found them on the side and the road and wanted them to do the part. The acting is forced and they seem like they have know idea what they are talking about.

For anyone in the poker scene do not waist your time with this movie. There have been good poker movies for the poker scene such as rounders. This is a movie worth watching. I just feel bad for anyone that paid money for this It is by far the worst movie i have ever seen in my life.

Imagine Rounders, take out the good acting and plot, take out the reasonably accurate rendition of poker, and add three women who look good, but can't act. That's about it.

Three girls figure out a way to cheat at poker, but then one of them decides they should learn to beat the game straight. So in a matter of weeks she learns to become a world class poker player.

The movie is a complete joke. The poker scenes are completely unbelievable. Half the time they are playing high stakes poker with the kind of chips that they sell in sets at the mall for $20. There are endless mistakes in the movie, too many to mention. One of the most laughable is the big tournament they play in Rio, where they play on a huge round table. Every time they go all in they practically throw their cheap chips into the pot so there is no way of knowing what the bet is. Then because the table is round the dealer can't even reach the chips to put them in the pot! I was not surprised the movie was junk. I just thought I would have it on in the background. There is a reason it is straight to video and no one bothered to rate it.

Okay, so this move is not offensively bad like Battlefield Earth, but it is pretty damn bad. Low budget, poor quality, kinda like soft porn, without the porn. Very weird. If you want to watch a movie about poker give this one a miss. If you want to see some girls that can't act go on a completely unbelievable adventure during their summer vacation, and don't mind low budget crap, take a look at this movie. Otherwise you might just as well watch Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Three college girls try to make big money by cheating on the 'underground poker' circuit, but get in over their heads.

Basically the script is terrible and the acting lame, a bit like a porno movie without the porn.

Guess it was just made to cash in the increased popularity of poker, but its no Rounders or Cincinati Kid, its not even in the same league as Maverick. The girls use lots of poker terminology, but it sounds unnatural and forced, as if they have no idea what they are talking about.

Best avoided.

This has to be one of the worst poker movies I've ever seen.

I've played poker at low and high limits and in casinos and private games. The only accurate part of the game the director and screenwriters got right was the fact that we do indeed use cards to play hold'em.

The ending was lame, not even slightly plausible.

The lame montage that shows the lead character going to the ghetto to play hold'em was downright laughable.

Oh, and the acting, in a word, horrible. I gave it a 2, because the director managed to remember to remove the lens cap before shooting.
