Poker Movie Friday: The Grand – Over-The-Top Poker Mockumentary

Related Topics: Phil Gordon, Poker

The Grand is a 2007 poker mockumentary, written by Zak Penn and Matt Bierman. Something tells me that if this movie were released today, there’d be a lot of criticism coming at it from all sides, but 2007 (as sunny as it sounds) was a different time, and people weren’t as easily offended by comedy.

The plot of the movie revolves around a big poker tournament, aptly named The Grand, in which the winner gets $10,000,000. Everybody else gets nothing. The tournament takes place at Rabbit’s Foot Casino in Las Vegas, owned by One Eyed Jack Faro (Harrelson).
