This is every gambling junkies fantasy dream, a day at the track where with every bet you can't lose. Richard Dreyfuss is hilarious, you got nothing to lose by watching this film.

This is funny in a way I couldnt expect it to be. It´s screwball comedy! Everything goes just right for the main character, he knows it and uses it.

It´s silly but I love to watch losers win and here Trotter does and how!
