3 stars
(PG-13)

Flashy tale of a group of ace college students that use card-counting at blackjack to take on the Las Vegas casinos, based very loosely on Ben Mezrich's non-fiction book “Bringing Down the House.” Kevin Spacey is fun as the snarky professor leading the group. Silly formulaic stuff, but still fun. Jim Sturgess, Kate Bosworth and Laurence Fishburne costar. 122 minutes. DVD INFO: The regular edition includes a commentary track and a few featurettes. A two-disc special edition is also available, presumably with more extras.
