 Rating:  - Has anyone ever heard of a student loan?This movie's fatal flaw is that it never addresses the obvious solutions to any of the myriad problems it poses. The question in my review title is hypothetical; I realize that if the main character had gotten a student loan for medical school, the plot wouldn't have been possible. However, the movie asks us to suspend disbelief far too many times, and in completely unrealistic ways. The idea of student loans is never even MENTIONED and we're supposed to believe that a smart MIT student like the one played by Jim Sturgess has no other way of paying for Harvard Med. If that's the case, how the hell did he pay for an expensive school like MIT in the first place? We're also supposed to believe that these smart people who KNOW they're being watched are intelligent enough to put on wigs (Though not the ethnic kids; I guess if you're not white it's assumed that no one could possibly remember your face anyhow.) but not to change their totally obvious hand signals. Then there's the part where we're supposed to believe that their otherwise cool and collected leader would change his mind about gambling just in time for a key plot twist strictly on the basis of a sixty second conversation. Oh and of course everything wraps itself up in a neat little bow. In a way I'm biased, because I knew I would hate this movie from the moment it began. Sturgess is a likable enough actor, but his narration never worked for me. Throughout the movie he keeps repeating the phrase "Winner, winner chicken ...

His teacher Prof. Micky Rosa (Kevin Spacey) pushes him into joining an elite group of MIT students who have been taking trips to Vegas and winning thousands in black jack by counting cards. Ben Campbell is trying to find a way to fund his new acceptance to Harvard Medical School, so he joins the team, and quickly finds himself stuffing thousands of dollars in his dorm room ceiling. In Vegas each of the members including Ben becomes their own character and enjoys the fabulous lifestyle of high gambles, partying, and even some high-end spending! Ben gradually works up the nerve to put the moves on his love interest, Jill Taylor (played by Kate Bosworth), and as soon as things are going good, like a good movie, things begin to fall apart. The money starts to get to some of the players, and eventually Ben. Also the strained relationships with his friends (who also don't know about his gambling), constantly traveling, etc., throw Ben for a loop. You also find out that professor Rosa isn't the most trustworthy of people to deal with. I thought the movie was pretty entertaining, I never read the book, but heard about the story via CNN. Also Kevin Spacey is always great, and Jim Sturgess surprises with some decent acting. I was surprised when I found out he was actually British, you would never ...

KEVIN SPACEY IS WONDERFUL!I gave this to someone and they said it was full of action and he loved Kevin Spacey. I am also a Kevin Spacey fan and I although I do not think this is his best part I always enjoy his acting. He brings different characters to life in a very unique way. My friend says see it.
