I can't really say I grew up a big gambler. Nothing hard core and certainly nothing that interfered with my financial status. However I do know 2 guys who are straight out of this movie, 2 gambling degenerates that would bet on ANY AND EVERYTHING. One is my brother the other a friend. Today, they're both flat broke.
7 days to Vegas is a refreshing movie considering all the misses that Hollywood tries to feed us these days. It gives us an inside look at degenerate prop bet gambling at it's best & worst and once again I can vouch that the movie portrays the real deal.
Some guys will do ANYTHING to win a bet to try and stay one step ahead of their opponent but if their opponent is as sneaky as they are, a back and forth struggle ensues. That's exactly the case in this movie. The comedy mixes in well to make this a fun movie and very enjoyable to watch. I will admit the ending was predictable for me (maybe it's because I hung around characters like this my entire life) but nonetheless it was still very good.
Vince Van Patten stepped out of his WPT commentating job to hit one out of the park with this one. As Vince's late great WPT partner Mike Sexton would say, "nice going Vince."
