zuzu33 It's true, this film was godawful.... and the posters who gave it a one are ALL right --there are too many reasons to count as for why this film deserves such a bad rating.But I do want to say I had several good laughs reading the comments about it here! Now that experience was far, far more entertaining then the film itself.I would like to point out one more huge plot hole, however, something so absolutely absurd that any script writer above the age of 8 would surely have spotted it -- supposedly, this big deal doctor who must make millions a year as a doctor, is shaking down poor Medicaid patients for sums like $10,000 or he threatens to not complete the surgery. WTF?! How can poor patients come up with kind of money? That's got to be the dumbest, most unproductive scam ever.I honestly think the script was written as they went along. At one point, you think the slightly older-than-intern doctor (the one with huge collagen lips who seems to wear an evening dress everywhere she goes and no doubt wears one under her surgical scrubs, along with ten pounds of unhygenic make-up) appears in a casino scene and is obviously being set up as a gambling addict. But, then, poof! That plot goes no where and the evil head doc comes in.Honestly, I'll stop now. I wasted enough time on this stinker!

vashukun This movie is to say it quickly bad.the poker played in this is pretty unbelievable getting straights and flushes on the river, playing the shittiest cards in poker and hitting.the acting was also something really bad, alright they had a good actor (Michael Madsen) who was in it for maybe 15 mins tops the plot twist and turned every scene change, i am not sure if it wanted to be a movie about love, becoming a doctor or playing poker. although it did try to be all 3 and failed really badly and was really really predictable, especially the last poker hand played.if you plan to see this movie, just don't its a complete waste of time.

redbellypig So this is supposed to be a movie about a girl whose father is a great poker player who ends up owing tons of cash to the mob because he sucks at cards. He dies to collect insurance money and to stiff the mob. OK wateva! The girl grows up and goes to Medical School and her friends decide she should enter a $5million poker tournament to pay off their student debts. Of course they do not take time to learn medicine, they instead party and hang out in casinos. OK wateva! This girl when she is not gambling discovers that her resident doctors/surgeons don't make very much money so they have to resort to extorting money from poor, illegal immigrants. OK wateva! So now this girl is playing a poker tournament for $5 million when she freaks out because Colonel Sanders sits down at her table. Oh wait, its her dad who faked his death and now returns to a televised poker tournament his daughter has entered. Let me guess that the insurance company personnel that were involved in her fathers death aren't watching this tournament even though they would probably be interested because they would be curious how that little girl's life turned out after losing her daddy. Lets also assume the mob boss isn't watching and salivating over any money the girl might win to pay off her fathers debt. Lets assume that neither recognize her dad because he now looks like Colonel Sanders. OK wateva! Now the evil Doctor who is recognized as a poker great sits down at her table to play poker. Why? because he is so broke he needs to play poker to make ends meet. Why? because doctors in the US don't make as much money as the illegal immigrants he has to extort money from. OK wateva! Now....I could go on but I don't have the energy. OK? wateva

Bronskrat I never write reviews but this was that bad. It looked like a soft core Skinemax flick without the skin. This was one of the worst films I'd ever seen. It really doesn't even make any sense. The ending, especially. I mean, there aren't any card cameras at a 5-million dollar final table? What??? Poor Johnny Juanda and Eric Seidel make cameos, I hope they got paid reeeeeally well. This script must've been written on a napkin. Maybe this was a long commercial for Party Poker.com. And she has time to be in a large poker tournament AND in med school at the same time? There are so many stupid plot points in this film it might only be fun to watch if you make some kind of drinking game out of it.
