Product Description

Road to Riches (DVD)

Jack (Robert Forster) is a gambler on a long losing streak. Moira, (Rose McGowan) the stripper who took him under her wing. When they meet a lucky young hick (Kip Pardue), they see a chance for making some big money. Trouble is, when there are two hustlers and only one golden boy, somebody's likely to hit the jackpot, and somebody else is going to get hurt.

Amazon.com Robert Forster ( Jackie Brown, Medium Cool) plays a small-time hustler in the HBO movie Roads to Riches. A former child star, Jack (Forster) has become a perpetual game show contestant who never quite hits the jackpot. Chance drops good fortune into Jack's lap in the shape of friendship with a good-looking country boy named Henry (Kip Pardue). After appearing on the game show Roads to Riches, Henry proves so popular that the producer offers to make him the new host--but Henry will only agree if Moira (Rose McGowan), a stripper he's fallen in love with, gets a job as hostess. The triangle of Jack, Henry, and Moira grows more complicated with every step, until it threatens to ruin them all. Roads to Riches will be most enjoyed by fans of the stars; Forster plays desperate well and McGowan wears tight dresses well. --Bret Fetzer
