This is a really good black comedy. A gambling addict takes a trip to Vegas to rescue his niece from a life of hooking.
Britney Snow is very good - she plays it straight and doesn't overact or make it silly. Broderick has found a role he is suited for. His deadpan is great. Facinelli is great as the sleaze bag boyfriend. The scene with him at the dinner is priceless. But it is the writing that is the best. The way the dialog and situations unfold is fresh and spontaneous.
The ending is realistic and although it is a comedy it has a good believable ending. It's also a good look at addiction. There is a moral to the story.
