But first he'll have to beat a Vegas field of geeks, gurus, online amateurs, greedy developers, ruthless housewives, old-school pros and more of the top players in the world for the largest prize in poker history. Jason Alexander, Ray Romano, Mike Epps, Judy Greer, Werner Herzog, Gabe Kaplan, Michael McKean, Phil Gordon and Doyle Brunson co-star in this no-limit comedy from director Zak Penn (Incident At Loch Ness). Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Not as funny as it wants to beWith a cast as talented as this, I had high hopes for The Grand. Alas, it did not live up to them. The actors are game enough, but every scene falls flat and fails to merit a smile, let alone a chuckle. You end up feeling embarassed for the performers more than anything else. Skip this one. You'll be thankful that you did. Rating: - dull, unfunny comedy"The Grand" is a mockumentary about six internet poker players who gather in Las Vegas for a $10 million, winner-take-all tournament. A game, eclectic cast - Woody Harrelson, Hank Azaria, Chris Parnell, Ray Romano, Werner Herzog, Gabe Kaplan - struggles with a mediocre script that, in tone as well as in style, steals clumsily from all those far superior Christopher Guest movies like "Waiting for Guffman," "Best in Show" and "A Mighty Wind." In the case of "The Grand," the humor is largely ... Read More Rating: - A Mockumentary that Falls ShortI had no idea what to expect when I received "The Grand" to review. I had never heard of it. And seeing the cast of well-known actors (Woody Harrelson, Ray Romano, Cheryl Hines), I didn't have a good feeling about it. It's been my experience these are typically flops if I've never even heard of them. My presumption turned out to be largely correct. "The Grand" is cut from the same cloth as "Best In Show", "Spinal Tap" and the like, and in fact includes many of the same actors tha that you'd ...

It has a good cast, it's about poker which I love, and it's in Vegas! Well, it was terrible! It had to have been written on the fly as it appeared no thought was put into it whatsoever. What a waste of a talented cast. Rating: - Know when to fold 'emZak Penn put one of the masters of the mockumentary, Micheal McKean in a supporting role for this Poker Tourney lightweight comedy. What Penn should have done was pay a little more attention to DVD's of Best in Show or A Mighty Wind, because "The Grand" stumbles over too many surreal drags. Woody Harrelson (as Jack Faro) heads up an all-star ensemble as a drug-addled loser who has to take the big prize or he'll lose the casino his Grandfather left him. He has the part down as a discombobulated ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
