Overview

When Scott and Kate Johansen’s daughter gets into the college of her dreams it’s cause for celebration. That is, until Scott and Kate learn that the scholarship they were counting on didn’t come through, and they’re now on the hook for tuition they can’t begin to afford. With the help of their friend and neighbor Frank also in need of a major payday they decide to open an illegal casino in his suburban house, risking everything together on a Vegas-style bacchanal where money flows, inhibitions are checked at the door, and all bets are off.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A raucous comedy about three middle-class neighbors who spiral into increasingly ridiculous schemes when financial desperation drives them to open an underground casino. It's a chaotic, escalating mess played for laughs as their suburban fantasy collides with reality.
