This ensemble comedy about a group of eccentric players competing in a multimillion-dollar poker match will inevitably be compared to the works of Christopher Guest, but what THE GRAND lacks in originality it more than makes up for with its high percentage of funny moments.

Les dialogues improvisés ne volent pas haut, la mise en scène a plus à voir avec un jeu télévisuel (...). Si les acteurs ont manifestement pris plaisir à jouer les gamblers (...), le spectateur a l'impression d'être égaré dans une série B qui tente de s'élever au second degré sans vraiment y parvenir.

(...) what makes THE GRAND a memorable comedy is that the main stories are really about families - how they screw you up and how they save you. And you don't have to understand poker to know the rules of that game.
