Preview: The Grand (2008)

• Poster: C

Review:

This black-on-yellow poster tries to represent a playing card while being different. It doesn't entirely succeed and the actor-squares at the top only make it more imperfect.

• Trailer: C-

Review:

The producers have apparently not realized how few people actually want to watch movies about poker. Several such films have failed miserably at the box office, but that doesn't stop them from coming. This film looks overly self-indulgent and lacking in genuine comic potential.

Oscar Prospects:

They'll be lucky to even make it to the Razzie ceremony. It will probably bomb with critics and at the box office and then turn around and be forgotten by the Golden Raspberries.

Release Date:

• March 14, 2008
