Sleazy professional gambler Harold Benson (Rip Torn) discovers that he can always win against Las Vegas blackjack dealer Willie Brodax (Ken Wahl). In fact, Benson wins so consistently against Willie that no casino in Vegas or elsewhere will hire the seemingly jinxed dealer. When casino manager Milt (Val Avery) suggests the curse will be lifted if Willie wins something that belongs to Benson, the dealer pursues the older man's unhappy mistress, lounge singer Bonita Friml (Bette Midler).

1.5/4
This is a messed-up movie that throws away what few opportunities it has to entertain us, and gets totally lost in a plot that starts as comedy and moves through farce on its way to paralysis. Go to Full Review
Michael Bronski Gay Community News (Boston) Sep 8, 2022
Besides the awful script, part of Jinxed!' s problem is it doesn’t let Midler come across as well or strong as she is able. Go to Full Review
