Here is the synopsis for “Mississippi Grind”:

In this lively, free-wheeling road movie, Emmy Award nominee Ben Mendelsohn plays Gerry. He’s a talented but down-on-his-luck gambler whose fortunes begin to change when he meets Curtis (Ryan Reynolds), a younger, highly charismatic poker player.

The two strike up an immediate friendship and Gerry quickly persuades his new friend to accompany him on a road trip to a legendary high-stakes poker game in New Orleans. As they make their way down the Mississippi River, Gerry and Curtis manage to find themselves in just about every bar, racetrack, casino and pool hall they can find. They experience both incredible highs and dispiriting lows, but ultimately forge a deep and genuine bond that will stay with them long after their adventure is over.

Reminiscent of classic 1970s American cinema, “Mississippi Grind” is an unforgettable journey featuring two characters who – flawed as they may be – are always worth rooting for. It’s a film about friendship, addiction, regret, family and the paths we sometimes unexpectedly find ourselves on. The film is told with empathy, humor and a remarkable light touch by acclaimed filmmakers Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden (“Half Nelson,” “It’s Kind of a Funny Story”).

HollywoodChicago.com works hard to coordinate our giveaways for you with the movie studios. If you enter to win and are fortunate enough to be awarded, we expect you to attend. If you reply saying you can’t attend – or don’t show up at all without notifying us – that opportunity goes to waste and another lucky HollywoodChicago.com winner misses out on enjoying what you would have. We use various forms of tracking technologies to know whether or not you attended. When you win and don’t attend, reputation points will be counted against you and you’ll win less frequently. If you enter to win, please make sure you can attend if you do win. Thank you.
