I didn't know if I would like this movie but a lot of the actors interested me so I thought I'd give it a shot. It was there, so I watched it.

I thought Rebecca Hall did great. I liked her in The Town and was interested to see her other work. She's great at playing an immature character who hasn't really figured out what she wants to do with her life. She stumbles upon a job placing ... read more

" So this got terrible, terrible reviews upon its release, but I only now noticed that Stephen Frears directed it.

Nope. Lay the Favorite is one of the flimsiest and most instantly forgettable movies I've sat through in a long time. None of the relationships between "

I thought Rebecca Hall did great. I liked her in The Town and was interested to see her other work. She's great at playing an immature character who hasn't really figured out what she wants to do with her life. She stumbles upon a job placing bets for a bookie in Vegas played by Bruce Willis. She has a thing for numbers and she really excels at the job and learns to love it. Naturally, she starts having an attraction to her boss who's named Dink which makes it all the more funny. His wife finds out about their attraction and makes him fire her. The wife is played by Catherine Zeta Jones who is also wonderful in the movie. Watch it into th” read more

" Farkkuhameinen herkkupeba saa töitä vedonlyönti-toimistosta. Kaljupäinen pomo on ihq, mut sen vaimo on täys daa. Ilmeisesti tosielämästä inspiksen saanut uhkapeli-pätkä, jossa itse aihe jää taka-alalle parisuhde-hässäköiden takia. Katsottu: 01/12"
