Let It Ride limps to its conclusion, though it doesn't go down without a fight. Pytka struggles to keep the bottle rocket vibe of the movie engaged to the bitter end.

quirky but fun comedy. Dreyfuss is charming as the compulsive gambler.

Only in the movies can you come across selfish bastards that you actually like. Of course it helps when your bastard is played by the likes of Richard Dreyfuss.

I thought it was okay, it's wasn't the greatest but I did laugh ounce or twice

Dreyfuss enjoyed some unprecedented success in the mid 1980s after Always. Why anyone thought he be a good comedic lead actor is flabbergasting to me. The man is a good dramatic actor who can play seriously disturbed characters well. Not generic down-on-their luck losers. They should've saved this role for Nick Nolte or Martin Short.
