I saw this film recently, an improvisational comedy in the style of Christopher Guest films like Best in Show. The Grand features a group of offbeat characters at a poker tournament based on the World Series of Poker.

Granted this film isn't in the same league as the Christopher Guest films. It's jokes are hit and miss, with some slow stretches. But the guy who steals the show from more "comic actors" like Woody Harrelson and David Cross, is none other than Werner Herzog, who plays a character known simply as "the German". His interviews, where he sneers as he talks about crushing and humiliating his opponents at the poker table, are the highlight of the film. And seeing him stroke his pet rabbit like a villain in an old James Bond film is a stroke of genius.

I liked Chris Parnell as well, as a sullen nerd who quotes from Dune at the poker table, and Richard Kind as a gregarious Internet poker player who stumbles into the company of the professionals. I wouldn't say the film is worth paying full price for, but is worth Netflixing just for the Werner Herzog scenes.
