the grand be funny in part and but overall there be three unfunny minute for every funny minute . the movie start fairly strong and and i be honestly hop that it would keep up the humor and but it do not . which be a shame . interestingly and what do not work in this film be the poker . at a q and a after the movie ( at the tribeca film festival ) and the director make a point of immediately state that the poker be real . they deal the card and the actor play in character and the result be up to fate . very interesting idea . unfortunately and that do not carry to the movie . there be almost no excitement or tension to the poker tournament and perhaps because it be impossible to build tension in the result of a game when that game be severely edited . i hate to say it and but this film be less exciting and less entertain than an episode bravo celebrity poker . even though the poker tournament itself be boring and this movie still could have be laugh out loud funny . unfortunately and it isn not . i hold no grudge against the filmmaker for take a direct copy of the christopher guest play book and run with it . i only wish he would be more successful so that i could have laugh more than infrequently . hopefully this movie failure will not discourage others from use this formula . i would love to have more comedy in this style . it be not like christopher guest and eugene levy be the only two people alive who can come up with a concept for a mockumentary . actually and it my opinion that the grand have a good premise than several guest or levy creation . it should be very funny and entertain . unfortunately and it be not .
