If you haven't seen it I suppose you should watch it, but given who's in it and the money behind it, the thing is surprisingly bad.

yeah i'm a big sopranos fan so i thought this movie was going to be incredible and actually almost bought the dvd blind.. turns out it's pretty crap (i'm still gonna watch it tonight, though)

It's not a good movie, but I liked it if that makes sense.

I on the other hand, thought that the movie was very good....

I thought Michael Imperioli did a good job of portraying exactly what Little Stuey's life was like. It wasn't all "peaches and cream" and money, and chicks, etc.

He hit rock bottom, HARD, and had a horrible time dealing with it. Though it is about one of the greatest poker players of all time, I do think they could have incorporated a little more about the actual card playing that he did into the movie. But, did a good job of telling us what his life was like...

just MHO...
