Best indie comedy you'll ever see

My wife and I were dying of laughter throughout the whole movie(still don't know how I am alive right now). For an indie film, it has the production feel and look of a Cannes or Tribeca film festival movie. The story is very well written and doesn't get repetitive or clichéd at any point. The jokes are pretty original and aren't your typical cheesy one-liners. Netflix should definitely pick up this movie instead of some of the garbage they got on there right now.

Fun light heart ed movie

One of the funniest indies I have seen. The three main characters really draw you into the story with their comedic timing. The hopes to make it big playing Poker is nothing new to movies yet this movie puts a fun twist into the life of people looking for the "big score" in life. The very cinematography was impressive for an indie film.

Must watch poker film!

Do you play poker ? Do you have desire to play at a high-stakes game? Do you like humor ?

Wait no more, watch 'Biggest game in town' by John Nava. It is hands down the best poker movie I've ever watched. Atticus' obsession for poker, consuming both his waking hours and subconscious is presented in a super funny way. John has done a phenomenal job on this indie film.

So if know poker and enjoy good humor, it's a must watch movie!

90 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

It's quicker to say what's right about this film than what's wrong with it.

.

Moving onto what's wrong. The plot is derivative, the language is clichéd, it relies on lazy stereotypes, the jokes are bad, and the ending is predictable. Some of the direction choices and the performances aren't too bad I suppose.

Two stars, because I really enjoy poker.

SUCCESS IS IN THE CARDS!

Whether or not you play poker-or any game of chance-this film will make you laugh! The intrigue of any high stakes game is there-with all the suspense of today's Molly's Game and the unparalleled characters in the classic Cincinnati Kid. I know just enough poker to understand and appreciate the plot. But most of all, I adored watching Atticus plow through his love for poker against competitors real and imagined. Most important, though, it's enjoyable, unique and entertaining-and certainly entitled to a place in the hallowed halls of great poker films!
