21

21 is literally about black jack. I used to play this back in the day, but all I could play right now is tong-its.

It's a Filipino rummy card game.

It was even made into a movie here.

Somehow, this is the only movie Google shows me when I search for the Tong-Its movie.

The main character Ben(Jim Sturgess) was supposed to play a nerdy dude in this flick. But he really looked like a hunky jock if you ask me(no homo). The dude wasn't even wearin' glasses just to throw us off a bit.

It's the glasses.

I can't remember David Spade bein' more of a dick than in this movie. Makes me want to strangle him. But you know what? An actor's dickish(if that's even a word) behavior that pisses me off is a true sign of great acting. If I ain't affected by your acting douchebaggery, then you suck, you talentless fuck!

Not pictured: Talent.

Lawrence Fishburne, as usual, just has Morpheusy aura to him while doin' his role as Cole Williams. He also acted like a dick in the end by confiscating all of Ben's winnings for his retirement pay.

Dick.

Kate Bosworth can do nothin' more than be a smart blonde. If there was one, it's her. In the movie only that is. I don't know if she has true-to-life Hollywood wits.

Like her 154 IQ perhaps?

The ending just had that feel-good vibe to it in that the protagonist had it made by livin' out the American dream.

A Jai-Ho would have been more suitable.

6.5 outta 10 overall.

(-1)for not doin' the Jai-Ho.

(+.5)for David Spade's dickery
