I watched this movie and found it to be entertaining. I have found Molly Ringwald to be a very good actress plus she is pretty attractive. Robert Downey Jr. is good enough in this one, he has since gotten better. Molly keeps trying to win enough money to get her dad out of debt to a loan shark. Downey plays a roue who is always after any woman that he can get. He uses the same line and it does work on some. That is until he meets Molly, she does have sex with him the first time but tries to shun after. Downey becomes infatuated with her and chases her all over. They end up going to Atlantic City where she bets her paycheck up to $13,000. She then bets it all trying to get her father out of debt. She fails. Then Downey comes along and wins more than her dad owes, pays off her dad's debt and then they apparently hook up for good. Dennis Hopper plays the dad and he is a drunk and a gambler but gives up the booze at the end.
