Lay the Favorite review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 12/28/12
Not as entertaining as some gambling sports movie are, even with name stars. A true story about a girl's adventure named Beth Raymer (Rebecca Hall) who meets a successful married entrepreneur engaged in the gambling sports world named Dink Heimowitz (Bruce Willis). Hall was somewhat uninteresting but Willis and Catherine Zeta-Jones were worth watching in their roles. It's always fascinating how Willis can still be watchable no matter how bad or good a picture is. Jackson trying too hard to be charming, was uninteresting. Not really funny but worth viewing because of the nature of business Beth was involved in. Lay the Favorite may not be that hilarious fr a genre, it does however represent how luck and friendships can make a huge difference for a former on call stripper.
