Unwatchable. The "humor" is so forced it makes you wonder why the producers allowed the writer/director to procede past the first few dailies. There was obviously no adult supervision on the set. The actor's were fine, it's the director that should have had adult supervision.
I understand that some of the poker in this was improvised. The actors didn't know who was going to win, or what the hands would be. Interesting concept, but it doesn't pan out. Even if you believe that it was not rigged decks, the outcome of the tournament is exactly the outcome that you expect. So it's hard to believe that it was unscripted.
