‘21’

Showtimes: 1:30, 4:15, 7:15 and 9:45 p.m. Friday through Thursday at the Skyline Cinema in Dillon.

The MIT brainiacs of this gambling romp are smart enough to count cards and make a fortune at the blackjack table yet so dumb they fall into greedy, grubby plot holes that a C-minus Statistics 101 student would have seen coming a mile to the Nth power away. The movie’s a morality play preaching sophomoric ethics — avarice bad, clean living and hard work good. Yet the only interesting thing it holds up to the light is the gluttony the movie eventually decries — money, booze, fast living, the sheer intemperance of making a killing, Vegas-style. PG-13 for some violence, and sexual content including partial nudity. 118 min.

Judd Apatow produced, Stephen Brill

Owen Wilson is the same low-key guy as usual, playing the titular Santa Monica homeless dude who pretends to have special ops training to get the gig. Young stars Nate Hartley, Troy Gentile and David Dorfman have a likable, goofy chemistry with each other, and the fact that they’re up-and-comers makes them more believable. But once you get past the premise, there’s just nowhere to go. PG-13 for crude sexual references throughout, strong bullying, language, drug references and partial nudity. 102 min.

‘Vantage Point’

Showtimes: 1 p.m. Friday through Thursday at Skyline Cinema in Dillon.

This preposterous yarn relies on a quickly strained gimmick — the shooting of the U.S. president shown over and over from different characters’ viewpoints — to cover up the fact that it’s less of a story than a commotion of human pool balls clattering against one another in ways that defy sense and even physics. Director Pete Travis rounded up a superb cast that includes Dennis Quaid,
Forest Whitaker, Matthew Fox, Sigourney Weaver and William Hurt. 90 min.
