Some very stilted script work and some Hallmark Film production values doesn't stop this comfy, coming-of-retirement-age comedy from being a fun ride from start to finish. Some easy viewing with an intriguing premise that begs to be Google'd on conclusion.
Decent, give it a try.
Don't expect good writing when watching, but a great story and decent acting make it enjoyable to watch.
A fun little Sunday afternoon movie. Brian Cranston is excellent as always. It does ring a little similar to Breaking Bad at times but that didn’t ruin the movie. Think of it as a light hearted Breaking Bad.
Enjoyable enough but as it's fairly low stakes it should have been called Jerry and Marge Go Small!
This was an interesting movie based on a true story, and both Annette Bening and Bryan Cranston really fit their roles well. The film imparted a sweet message at the end, which was, the purpose of their venture wasn't about winning money but rather building community and bringing people together.
An easy to watch movie that doesn’t really shine in any particular area. That’s not a bad thing by any means. It’s quite a good movie to go straight to Paramount+ and I enjoyed my time with it. I can see myself watching this one again at some point, even if I wouldn’t recommend it much.
Rating: 3/5 - 7.5/10 - Worth Watching
This movie was waaaay out of my normal comfort zone. Pleasantly surprised, based on a true story. Bryan Cranston was great as usual, good cast. This movie is definitely worth checking out! Do yourself a favor and watch this film.
Such a sweet, nice and cozy movie to watch, a rare find these days. No woke/lgbt shit agenda either. Recommended!
If you are looking for a sweet, safe movie with a warm feel to it, you could certainly do worse than this movie. On the surface, this movie is about the lottery and a little bit of math (as a data scientist, I found the latter interesting but I know that I am in the minority). But the real movie is about personal relationships, and the movie (mostly ) does a good job and portraying this theme without beating the viewer over the head with it. I could have watched Cranston and Bening all day long.

Pleasant, feel good movie. I enjoyed watching it but these type of films are generally only good for the single viewing.
breaking bad if skylar didnt exist.
I’m watching a film that has a decent cast but the look, the writing and even the performances all scream Hallmark movie. Maybe a sort of interesting news article should remain an article and not a bland film.
Easy move to watch. Nothing too complicated, enjoyable for sunday afternoon.
Great story! Great acting! This is a MUST-WATCH!
Good luck happens same as bad. Made my Day :)
It's better than expected.
Rating:6.8
One of those rare simple yet effective really really good movies !!
This is a Hallmark movie. Expected way more, but it's just plain bad. Lazy writing, poor acting, not funny (except for a few Rainn Wilson lines), and empty plot.
I really enjoyed this movie. Good vibes.

Saw 75% in votes here so I expected a fun and witty comedy whilst - as someone else mentioned - this is a Hallmark movie with some bigger budget and better cast, but same stilted and roll your eyes lines, which were already predictable in the 70s.
