Down-but-not-quite-out loser Bernie Lootz (William H. Macy) works as a "cooler" (his bad luck rubs off on would-be winners) for manager Shelly Kaplow's (Alec Baldwin) Las Vegas casino. The ploy works–until Bernie falls in love with a cocktail waitress (Maria Bello), and his run of bad luck changes into good. The ensuing turn of events does not bode well with Shelly. Alec Baldwin was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar.
