And Alice in Wonderland is also Based on a True Story

Rating: 3/10 (8 April 2008)

Out of the box the 'real' Stacy character says THE MOVIE IS MOSTLY FICTION and that HE'S NOTHING LIKE STACY. Hollywood's tortured version was 'wisely' created to spoon feed young demographics with its success duly confirmed by the high IDMb ratings and comments.
Here Hollywood plunges into fantasy mode creating casino-guest violence (there was and is none of this type in this manner), hand signals one could see a mile away, the group not permitted to so much as look at one another in the casino but arrive together by limo and saunter up to the casino door so that welcome camera can get a good shot of them. Then, to keep that low profile they go off clubbing together, shopping together....everything together. Like the gang that could not 'stealth' straight. Ben is such the MIT genius he can do no better then the equivalent of keeping his huge cash horde under his mattress. Has he ever heard of a dorm burning down? Does he deserve to be in MIT or Harvard where he can not figure out how use bank safety deposit boxes? They stay mostly in one casino which of course would never have worked.
Welcome to a Las Vegas where casino employees may invite you to please follow them to the casino's nearby torture chamber. Not just the fact that the movie trashes reality to create a MOSTLY fictional flick but the insulting stupidity of the whining, erratic and out of control counting group. Hence my new title for this movie: COLLEGE CARD COUNTERS GO WILD! Stacy's rants reminded me somewhat of Charles Dickens Fagen which may be the true reality base of the film. On the big plus side the card dealng cinematography was top notch.
