All In

I recommend this movie to anyone that enjoyed the movie of the week about the alcoholic mother or the secretly bulimic high school girl. I kept looking for the Lifetime logo on the bottom corner of the screen. I'm with the other guy that thinks all the other voters are crazy. I am almost positive that these people were part of the production and really hoped that IMDb readers would watch the movie. I watched this on The Movie Channel last night. There is no way this played in any theater. The only thing cheesier than this movie is the set (Hollywood Park Casino). This is Madsen's second bad poker movie, I believe. He was in Tilt as well on ESPN, I think. I welcome any comments to the contrary. Poker player? Med student? Who cares?

Wow!!!! Saw this movie on cable and it was one of the best things ever. It's so bad that it's good, I couldn't stop watching. The plot is everywhere, they solve problems that shouldn't even be in the movie. The acting is like a bad made for TV movie. Even the camera angles were below that of a direct to VHS movie, yeah not even good enough to get a DVD release. It's classified as a drama by my cable channel but I was holding my sides laughing constantly.

If you like poker at all or even have watched it on TV, I hope you check this movie out cause it will be one of the funniest things you'll watch in a while.

This was the worse movie I've seen in a long, long time. So bad, I was shouting derisions at the TV screen. The acting was from HELL, the writing was moronic, but more disturbing is the obviously planted "rave" reviews in this IMDb comment page. Who do you think you're fooling? Do you think if you manufactured praise that it makes it true or valid? This was complete CRAP! I can't imagine so many people went about this production with their head up their ass not knowing how bad this film would be. Who was the actress sleeping with to get a chance to blow this role? Who is the screenwriter related to? Was the producers trying to launder money or are they just blind and stupid. The "real" has-been stars were just phoning in their parts and taking their paychecks and who could blame them. Everyone involved please leave show business immediately and do something more productive and meaningful. Like street-sweeping. Spare us any other attempts. Please.

I play a good bit of poker, but even if I did not I would be very disappointed in wasting my time watching this movie. It has absolutely nothing to do with real odds, or anything to do with poker. Acting is atrocious, the representation of poker is astoundingly bad, and every part of the movie absolutely sucks. "All In' has as much to do with poker and actual movie quality acting as a fart has to do with perfume, the movie is terrible....Don't ever, ever, ever watch it. For one, there are people out there that could not even rig a deck for the sake of the plot's horrible progression if they had all day and could arrange the cards without anyone looking, for two, the movie sucks, but I think said that already. I know most movies always have someone saying "worst movie ever", but this truly is the WORST MOVIE EVER MADE!

This was by far the worst film I have ever seen in my entire life. The plot was absolutely ridiculous. The idea of making money off of poker was somehow sprung upon the audience with very little coherent reasoning or explanation ("Oh you're sort of good at poker based on the one hand that you won when we were drinking and playing strip-poker, so let's pay off hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debts with our combined pseudo-talents! YAY!"). Absolutely everything about this film was awful. The script, the acting, and the photography were nothing short of laughable. I wouldn't normally post a comment at all on a film so terrible, but, somehow, this film managed to be so particularly horrendous that it was thought provoking in itself.
