21 is a 2008 American heist drama film directed by Robert Luketic and stars Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey, Laurence Fishburne, Kate Bosworth, Liza Lapira, Jacob Pitts, Aaron Yoo, and Kieu Chinh. The film is inspired by the true story of the MIT Blackjack Team as told in Bringing Down the House, the best-selling book by Ben Mezrich. Despite its largely mixed reviews and controversy over the film's casting choices, 21 was a box office success, and was the number one film in the United States and Canada during its first and second weekends of release.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) senior math major Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) is accepted into Harvard Medical School, but cannot afford the $300,000 fee. Despite a 44 MCAT score and top grades, Ben faces a fierce competition for the prestigious Robinson Scholarship that would pay entirely for the medical school. The director tells him that the scholarship would go to the student who would "dazzle" him.
At MIT, professor Micky Rosa (Kevin Spacey) challenges Ben with the Monty Hall problem, which he solves successfully. After looking at Ben's score on his latest non-linear equations paper, on which he got 97%, Rosa invites Ben to join his blackjack team, which consists of fellow students Choi, Fisher, Jill, and Kianna. Despite being told by Rosa that he had already gotten into the Harvard Medical School, Ben refuses to join the team on the premise he had been promoted at his job. Next day, Jill visits Ben at his job and attempts to coax him into joining the team. The system involves card counting, and the team is split into two groups. "Spotters" play the minimum bet and keep track of the count. They send secret signals to the "big players", who place large bets whenever the count at the table is favorable. Ben reluctantly joins the team, telling Rosa he is only doing so until he can pay for medical school.

What can you tell me that's going to dazzle me?
Ben Campbell is a shy, brilliant M.I.T. student who -- needing to pay school tuition -- finds the answers in the cards. He is recruited to join a group of the school's most gifted students that head to Vegas every weekend armed with fake identities and the know-how to turn the odds at blackjack in their favor. With unorthodox math professor and stats genius Micky Rosa leading the way, they've cracked the code. By counting cards and employing an intricate system of signals, the team can beat the casinos big time. Seduced by the money, the Vegas lifestyle, and by his smart and sexy teammate, Jill Taylor, Ben begins to push the limits. Though counting cards isn't illegal, the stakes are high, and the challenge becomes not only keeping the numbers straight, but staying one step ahead of t...

[Chorus:]
She just turned 21,
Now she's all up in the club having hell of fun,
She says she wanna rock all night,
Go ready and give her some.
Go ready and get a chunk,
Shawty about to shut it down.
Down, down, down!
Comes in the air, we can't put them down, down, down,
We've got the pricks
It's going down, down, down!
Oh man, she looks like she's ready now,
Yes man, let's shut it down!
Yeah, shut it down like gambling,
Black Jack, show the bet, show her all the scheme,
Go in there, she...
... what's happening?
In the morning, I'm...
Half the bottle cause she's probably a woman.
Drunk up, feel better in the morning,
Drank up, ran out like oh, oh, oh,
Don't want the club to get closed,
Around like mile 24,
When she came to the door,
... what happens in the spot tonight they won't know,
The birthday girl is out of control,
Like her smile I'm sure for sure
Cause she's 21 years old.
[Chorus:]
She just turned 21,
Now she's all up in the club having hell of fun,
She says she wanna rock all night,
Go ready and give her some.
Go ready and get a chunk,
Shawty about to shut it down.
Down, down, down!
Comes in the air, we can't put them down, down, down,
We've got the pricks
It's going down, down, down!
Oh man, she looks like she's ready now,
Yes man, let's shut it down!
O.K., you know that what happens at the 21st B-Day,
Stays at the 21st B-Day,
Gotta go hard, you don't wanna take it easy,
Shut it down, get a... from the D.J,
One drop on the birthday girl,
The beat 21 is over!
Do you...
Real talk in the...
The momma don't... like it's all about her,
She don't see nobody like...
In the club telephone don't stop,
Show her love, how to stay in the spot.
Show...
[Chorus:]
She just turned 21,
Now she's all up in the club having hell of fun,
She says she wanna rock all night,
Go ready and give her some.
Go ready and get a chunk,
Shawty about to shut it down.
Down, down, down!
Comes in the air, we can't put them down, down, down,
We've got the pricks
It's going down, down, down!
Oh man, she looks like she's ready now,
Yes man, let's shut it down!
I'm spending money tonight,
Give you the time of your life,
The after party is back at my house, my house!
I've got a present for you,
It's waiting up in my room,
But I wanna give it to you right now, right now!
Who wants another round?
We're about to take them down,
I'm staying back...
How you're shaking that...?
She's turning 21, the night has just begun.
We gonna be living in a...

She just turned 21,
Now she's all up in the club having hell of fun,
She says she wanna rock all night,
Go ready and give her some.

Down, down, down!
Comes in the air, we can't put them down, down, down,
We've got the pricks
It's going down, down, down!
Oh man, she looks like she's ready now,
Yes man, let's shut it down!
