- Critical Dissonance: Rotten Tomatoes gave this a 34% positive rating, but apparently 88% of viewers on their site loved it. Metacritic's score seems to be similar, with a total critical consensus of 36 (out of 100) and a viewer score of 8.8 (out of 10).
- Cult Classic: While the film's lasting cultural impact is dwarfed by the thematically similar Rounders, it has enjoyed a larger following, particularly among pool players, than its scant box office and negative critical reaction would have suggested.
- Designated Hero: All the protagonists are pool hustlers, after all, with the exception of Tara and Uncle Mike. And those two are lawyers, which could be considered even worse.
