How much did Mezrich get paid to sell his soul?

Rating: 3/10 (7 August 2008)

This movie may or may not be entertaining to the viewer, depending on your taste. But it in no way shape or form even resembles Mezrich's Bringing Down the House. Anyone saying this politically corrected script created for this film from scratch even RESEMBLES Mezrich's Bringing Down the House, NEVER read the book. Where's Monaco? Where's the Russian leader of the pack? Where are the OTHER casinos they gambled in? The film also is based on the preposterous rationality (NO WHERE IN THE BOOK) that a poor student can't go to Harvard Med without joining a card reading Blackjack team. Right. That's because Stuident Loans have not been invented. And they don't give Student Loans to Harvard Med students. And Harvard Med grads never earn enough money to pay back their student loans, because a Harvard degree is so worthless on the market. RIGHT!!! Only rich kids go to Harvard or MIT. Right! Not one poor kid to be found on their campus. Right. Well, if your gullible, stupid, politically correct, and proud of all that, you'll buy into the stupid script. I wonder how much Mezrich was paid. I wonder if he retains the right to someday make a movie out of his book. I love the idiotic contributors to IMDb.com calling this film "fact based". Losers.
