Negative Positive
Title: disapointing movie
Review: OK, I get it. When William H. Macy's character falls in love, he is no longer cursed with bad luck and he loses his ability to "cool" down hot gamblers. He can even get cream in his coffee.This move is way too obivous and mechanical, and because of it, it's hard to see the characters as real people. I actually had some sympathy for old-school Alec Baldwin until he turned violent. It might have been interesting if he were portrayed sympathetically, trying to stay alive in a bland, profit-oriented world. Alas, no use for nuance in ths flick.And the ending - where he reaches in the car and grabs the beer can - was the most remarkably stupid thing I have seen since Joaquin Phoenix swung his baseball bat in Signs.
