Overview
Bernie works at a Las Vegas casino, where he uses his innate ability to bring about misfortune in those around him to jinx gamblers into losing. His imposing boss, Shelly Kaplow, is happy with the arrangement. But Bernie finds unexpected happiness when he begins dating attractive waitress Natalie Belisario.
I wanted to love this movie because I love so many of the actors in it. But alas, the story leaves a lot to be desired. The film ended and I am not sure that I noticed.
