Tilly's ample bosom, heaving up and down while cheering for various races, seems to garner more screentime than most other supporting players.

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.

Loved it. When I was really depressed and staying with friends, I happened to watch it one day. I hate the effing horse track. It's all fixed. Knew a guy that destroyed himself betting on the ponies. Take a down on his luck loser and Dreyfus comes through. Being a student of film, this movie goes much deeper than most of the people are giving credit for. After three times of viewing it and watching the interactions of the "rich people" and Dreyfus along with Johansen is priceless.

A wonderful character study, and finally a big break for a lovable loser. Richard Dreyfuss at his best.
