How much of Poker House really happened?
So i just finished watching The Poker House and was really impressed with it. The acting, the music, cinematography, and the way the movie was put together. I especially love the scene with Selma Blair in the bathroom with her daughter in the tub. So when the epilogue came up, I was shocked to read that this was Lori Petty's personal story. On the cover it says it's based on a true story, but I didn't think it was the director's own life. I was also shocked to see it was written with David Alan Grier. What an odd couple. Anyway, how much of the movie is true?
For those of you wondering, the movie comes out on DVD on August 18th.
