 Rating:  - Know when to fold 'emZak Penn put one of the masters of the mockumentary, Micheal McKean in a supporting role for this Poker Tourney lightweight comedy. What Penn should have done was pay a little more attention to DVD's of Best in Show or A Mighty Wind, because "The Grand" stumbles over too many surreal drags. Woody Harrelson (as Jack Faro) heads up an all-star ensemble as a drug-addled loser who has to take the big prize or he'll lose the casino his Grandfather left him. He has the part down as a discombobulated ...

I was literally counting the mintutes till it was over. At 56 minutes there was 48 minutes left. I felt like a marathon runner hitting the wall. Yet, I feel a strange sense of accomplishment for having lived through it. A fine cast of actors. Was this supposed to be a mockumentary or a comedy? There was no clear vision. There was very little ... Read More Rating: - Occasionally hilariousI really enjoyed Zak Penn's previous feature, Incident at Loch Ness, which was really strange and quite funny. Unfortunately, The Grand, while occasionally quite funny, is kind of a mess. In The Grand, a movie about a high-stakes poker tournament, it seems like the director just gave the actors bare outlines of their characters and said "do something funny." The whole thing is a pretty clear attempt to make a movie like Best in Show (Penn goes so far as to use Michael McKean in a small role), but ... Read More Rating: - It was okayBeing a fan of Zak Penn (X-Men, Incredible Hulk) and Woody Harrelson I expected to like this movie more than I did. Most of the actors in this film don't get the credit they deserve. The cast was an excellent choice for an improv style film. They handled their scenes well and some of them left you wishing they had more screen time. I'm not a big fan of televised poker. It gives me that same feeling as when I flip the channel and find bowling. There's just not enough going on to keep ...
