2 hours of my life I won't get back..

Rating: 2/10 (20 February 2013)

I went to see this to see if Jacki Weaver did more to earn her Oscar nomination than last time - she didn't.
Several strands of the thin plot are beyond irritating. The nonsensical superstitions of the bookie are given legitimacy they don't deserve. The idea that idiotic and dangerous superstition can influence outcomes drove me nuts.
Bad enough that people believe rubbish it but using films to reinforce nonsense, by giving it a feel good ending, is an insult to the audience. I so wanted them to get what they deserved for being do stupid, sadly they didn't.
The other Oscar nominations have nothing to beat in this effort.
