The Cooler

Movie (2003)

Bernie Lootz (William H. Macy) has such terrible luck that a Vegas casino owner uses him as a "cooler": no sooner does Bernie join a crap game than anyone with a hot hand immediately begins to lose. But then Bernie falls in love with a young cocktail waitress, Natalie (Maria Bello), and his magic suddenly shifts: now everyone around him wins, which is big trouble for Bernie.

Movie Goof (continuity error): When Shelly confronts Natalie in the hotel room he throws two armfuls of clothes (on hangers) on the bed. The next shot shows only a suitcase with neatly folder clothes in it on the bed.
This film originally received an NC-17 rating and was re-cut to achieve an R. The details of the rating dispute are documented in the film This Film Is Not Yet Rated, which shows some of the deleted footage.
SPOILER: During the opening credits, when the camera pans over The Lady Luck, there is a shot of Maria Bello's face flashing over the exterior of the casino, as she eventually turns out to be his Lady Luck.
SPOILER: When Buddy is discovered dead in his room, the movie playing on his TV is Lost Horizon, a film about the mythical land of Shangri-La, also the name of the casino.
