Release Date: 17th May 2007
Billie Offer (Drew Barrymore) is a young singer from Bakersfield
with more heart than talent. Huck Cheever (Eric Bana) is a poker
player whose emotions at the table often undermine his exceptional
skill, especially when he is heads up with his father, poker legend
L.C. Cheever (Robert Duvall). The one aptitude Billie and Huck seem
to share is a knack for reading people--the difference is what they
do with that gift. While Huck's instincts enable him to take
advantage of his opponents at the poker table and expertly avoid
both emotional connections and long-term commitments in his
personal life, Billie uses her intuition to see the emotional truth
of those around her and sympathize with their pain. When these two
meet, the real game begins. If Huck is going to win Billie's heart,
he must learn to play cards the way he has been living life and
live his life the way he has been playing cards.
