Movie Review

Grade: B- Once a year I go see a movie by myself, and in April, I've already used up my pass. With few truly exciting films in theaters and even fewer friends willing to go see so-so movies, I had to take it upon myself to drive the five minutes to the theater and pay my $7.50 to watch 21, the gambling movie that is likely to win its second weekend in a row. Fellow reviewer Robert Bell says, "21 is a decent film that should please mainstream moviegoers for the most part," and I have to agree with him. It isn't great, it isn't amazing, but it is entertaining, and worthwhile at least as a rental.

better than I expected!

This movie was funny and interesting, with a plot complicated enough to keep us on our feet but not too confusing. The actors did a good job too.
