Alex ist aus dem Häuschen. Sie hat die Zulassung für ihre Traum-Uni erhalten. Ihre Eltern Scott und Kate fallen aus allen Wolken, als das Stipendium abgelehnt wird. Die Studiengebühren von über 50.000 Dollar können sie sich sicher nicht leisten. Kurzerhand eröffnen sie im Keller ihres besten Freundes Frank ein illegales Casino. Es wird wild gezockt, die Geldquelle sprudelt, bis die Situation eskaliert. (ORF)

Do you know that feeling when you’re being entertained by a comedy, but at the same time, you know that it is missing one or two scenes which would blow you away that would justify the fourth star?

This is a comedy that definitely failed to impress me. It’s true that Will Ferrell looks progressively cooler, and there's a pretty nice cameo by Jeremy Renner, but in the final analysis, this is too much of a bland and unfunny comedy during which I basically didn't laugh once because there wasn't much to laugh at.

The theme had the potential for a good comedy, but then the filmmakers somehow got out of hand and made it into a vulgar tale with too much screaming that overseas productions churn out constantly. The mass production that the market demands. But I'm probably not the right target audience. I at least have a positive opinion of the soundtrack, which suits the plot quite well, but I wasn’t blown away by it either. (35%)
