I watched “Two for the Money” this weekend, or rather tried to watch it. How was it? One word - boring. At the IMDB, a reviewer began describing the movie:
Two for the Money is the story of one man’s journey into the sports gambling world. Matthew McConaughey delivers one of his more impressive performances as he transforms from Brandon Lang, the smooth-talking golden boy, into John Anthony - “The Million Dollar Man with the Billion Dollar Plan.” A transformation that comes complete with a new suit, a new car, a new attitude, and slicked back hair - a sure-fire movie sign that corruption or a loss of innocence is imminent.
Well, I found that the “smooth talking golden boy” was boring! His syrupy speech pattern just didn’t do it for me. Maybe the ladies watching might like the scenes where he takes his shirt off, as he’s obviously in great physical shape, but by the time he takes it off, sleep will already have set in. This movie tries to create an excitement and pace and it fails. i would recommend that if anyone want to know about gambling in sports, they should do a quick google search and read the first article they see.
