School loans are a pain - take up counting cards

I was vaguely excited to watch 21. Why? I don't know, good cast, Jim Sturgess is cute, and it seemed like a relatively interesting plot.

And, yet....

Both Jim Sturgess and Kate Bosworth were exceptionally uncute. Plus I found the characters annoying (just get a loan to go to medical school like the rest of us...you don't have to count cards in Vegas!) and what happened to Kevin Spacey? Wasn't he once delightful and not all icky?

In the end, you sort of just wanted things to end badly for them and it was hard to feel too bad when it did (oh no! your ill-gotten money that you stuffed in your roof got stolen? how tragic!).

I guess I just like more heroes.
