What a waste of my time!!!

Please don't spend money on this.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

First off, i wish there was a way to give a negative rating on movies. Second, i cant believe someone sat there, read the script, thought it was good. Shot a pilot, thought it was good. Went out and drummed up money, got a cast, shooting crew, scouted locations... I mean come on. SERIOUSLY!! burn every copy ever made and kick the producer in the nuts. I swear if he thought this was his big break or something, it was not his big break. It must have been some porno producer that wanted to "go legit" I never, ever make comments on movies, but I am seriously upset with myself I even spent the time to skip forward thu the whole movie. I saw about 3 seconds of tits. that was it. a complete cock up. a waste of time. dig a hole and put this in the ground. im sure that if i took a crap in a bucket and smeared it on my TV I would have enjoyed it more than watching that movie. its almost so bad that i would love to give it out as a gift to people I hate! kill it, kill it now, and kill it fast!! i feel sorry for whoever sunk money into this thinking they were going to make it rich.

It's usually a good idea to avoid attempts to cash in on a worldwide fad, and this is no exception. The acting from pretty much everyone was horridly canned and boring, and the attempt at making the main trio sound well-versed in poker lingo was, well, less than spectacular. The only decent actor in the entire hour-and-a-half long skid-mark on poker is the Asian mobster, Mr. Chow, and his acting wasn't even all that great.-Spoilers Below- Three college-age girls get together over a summer and try to take the world of Texas Hold'em by storm. By cheating. The "review" on the back of the box makes it sound like they actually try to have some skill, but instead, they resort to marking the Aces (hence the title) by an invisible dye and reader glasses that the main character uses to see the dye.-End Spoilers- The main trio of actresses fit almost every stereotype there could be for college-age women, the super witch, the clueless and yet genius main character, and the spoiled brat/hold 'em whiz.Best to miss this one, only see if you want to waste an hour-and-a-half on a poor attempt at a poker flick.

The acting in this film is very poor. The film contains no drama it is bland from start to finish. Most movies shot on video try their best to emulate the look of film. This movie was shot on 35MM film but it look like a badly shot video. The director made a big deal on how they flew down to Rio De Janeiro to film the end of the film. But nearly all the scenes takes place in a hotel room which could have been shot anywhere. The director must have double vision, since he always frames a shot like there are extra people off to the side. All the shots leave too much room around the actors. Also the depth of focus is too wide. Most films use a shallow depth of focus so that only the actors are in focus.

this movie about three gals who try to cheat at poker to make money at first had me intrigued, since i love anything dealing with poker! we are first introduced to the con leader Elle who shows her two friends the underground poker scene. the three girls are soon making money the easy way as they go from one illegal casino to another. they make a killing against a seasoned pro named Mr Chow, who we will see later on in the story. Brooke who sees how easily the money is made to try and make it at a legal casino and gets overconfident. she does this by herself without cheating and promptly loses all the money while her friend Piety is sleeping and Elle is getting her groove on. a fight ensues between Brooke and the other two and we see Brooke trying to make a living going back to a 9 to 5 job. but she soon realizes that poker is her calling and the three mend their fences, and get an invitation to a big tournament in Rio DE Janeiro. this invite was sent by none other than Mr Chow who gets his chance for revenge against the three. Brooke is made to play against a tough table of pros without cheating. this movie actually had a great premise, but got bogged down by poor acting. they were all stiff as they come, heck the loosest actor was the cowboy that Elle gets acquainted with! all in all a waste of time if not for the eye candy.
