Robinson and Ann-Margret) is the best poker movie I have ever seen, and I don't think it would be accurate to say it's about wish fulfillment. (I suppose it's debatable, though.) If you (or anybody reading this) like poker movies, see it as soon as possible. Here’s one exception to the norm:

They appeal to the masses rather than the expert. Check out Annette Obrestad's blog at http://betting.betfair.com/annette_15/ It's better than the link you gave out:) If you know your subject then any movie about that subject will suck….it’s just the nature of film making.

I've been meaning to check it out because it just seems to play on the poker player stereotypes (i.e. the different types of players/characters at the table), but I'm not sure how good it'll be. Obviously not a serious poker movie, but I'm still interested. Has anyone seen The Grand?
