Lay the Favorite 2012

Director: Stephen Frears

2 out of 5

Hard to get into at first but had a decent ending.

 

Synopsis: Beth, a Las Vegas cocktail waitress, falls in with Dink, a sports gambler who swoons for her as she proves to be something of a gambling prodigy, earning the initial ire of Dink’s wife, Tulip.

::::::::NOTES::::::::

From the cover this looks like a chick-flick so I sat down to watch it with my wife. She lost interest in the first thirty minutes and we turned it off. I could not leave a film unfinished so went back and watched the rest on my own. It got better towards the end as mentioned above. I would not recommend this film.
