2006 dorkumentaryRating: 6/20
Plot: Their romantic relationship has failed. Their fledgling film company is failing. So they decide to try to capitalize on the new interest in poker and make a documentary about it. Susan, who claims to be a good player with previous tournament success, joins several tournaments, while Rob the filmmaker, a guy who knows absolutely nothing about the game, documents it on film. With a little luck, they might be able to save their company!
The most entertaining thing about this is watching the annoying woman lose tournament after tournament, blaming it all on really bad luck when it's completely obvious to anybody with even a rudimentary knowledge of the game that she just really sucks. I was rooting against her from the middle of her first tournament (which lasted an entire two hours, by the way) on until I fell asleep somewhere in the middle of her World Series experience. The abundance of whining pounces all over a few interviews with poker pros that are almost interesting, making the whole thing nearly unwatchable. A really terrible waste of time.
