«Winner Winner Chicken Dinner»
Based off the true story of the MIT kids who schemed their way through Vegas, 21, follows the shy, cute, genius, Ben Campbell (played by Jim Sturgess) through the ups and downs of gambling. His teacher Prof. Micky Rosa (Kevin Spacey) pushes him into joining an elite group of MIT students who have been taking trips to Vegas and winning thousands in black jack by counting cards.
Ben Campbell is trying to find a way to fund his new acceptance to Harvard Medical School, so he joins the team, and quickly finds himself stuffing thousands of dollars in his dorm room ceiling. In Vegas each of the members including Ben becomes their own character and enjoys the fabulous lifestyle of high gambles, partying, and even some high-end spending! Ben gradually works up the nerve to put the moves on his love interest, Jill Taylor (played by Kate Bosworth), and as soon as things are going good, like a good movie, things begin to fall apart. The money starts to get to some of the players, and eventually Ben. Also the strained relationships with his friends (who also don't know about his gambling), constantly traveling, etc., throw Ben for a loop. You also find out that professor Rosa isn't the most trustworthy of people to deal with.
I thought the movie was pretty entertaining, I never read the book, but heard about the story via CNN. Also Kevin Spacey is always great, and Jim Sturgess surprises with some decent acting. I was surprised when I found out he was actually British, you would never know from his accent in the movie. I wouldn't give it a four, because its not the best movie I've ever seen, but like i said, its pretty entertaining. I'd suggest picking it up if your having a slow night, it might surprise you!
