Ace

About This Movie

So, Ace is this quirky little comedy from 1981 that dives into the afterlife in a rather unique way. You've got Asso, this top-notch poker player who finds himself navigating the heavenly poker tables after being offed on his wedding night—classic bad loser vibes there. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the surreal charm. The whole ghost angle really lends itself to some interesting comedic moments, especially the way Asso tries to set up his widow with a suitable guy. It's not just slapstick; there's a deeper theme about love and loss, which is refreshing. Practical effects? Well, they do their job, but it's the performances that really bring the humor and heart to life.
