    <p>Already bought it.  If you buy it at BestBuy it comes with a deck of cards.  Very entertaining movie, although my one gripe is that the actual poker being played, particularly at the final table, was pretty awful.  This was because the final table was real, and there wasn't a scripted winner.</p>

    <p>I disagree.  Movie seemed to drag on in a lot of spots.  Certainly had its moments (Chris Parnell and David Cross pretty much), but not worth watching again imo.</p>

    <p>i especially like the part where phil gordon said the only way for the russian to win the hand on a paired 4 diamond board was to have the  ace of diamonds after his opponent showed a king high flush....</p>

    <p>I absolutley hated this movie the first time, but it has gorwn on me. Agreed on the special features btw - the Werbee diaper FTW. Now that I know it was mostly improvised that definitely improves it to me.</p>

    <p>Rented it last night as well...after reading how certain parts were improvised it made it a laugh to watch, but still one of the worst movies ive ever seen...comical at times, terrible at most...any other poker related films you would suggest?  </p>

    <p>Thought it was pretty awful tbh. Best actors in it were Gabe Kaplan and Phil Gordon who obv played him self. </p>
    <p>  At least it was better than the deal!</p>
