Lottery Ticket

Shad Moss plays a young man that found out he's won the lottery, buuuuut there's a catch...he has to survive 3 days with everytone knowing that he has it. It's 4th of July weekend.

This reminds me of a movie where the characters and the neighborhood take on a life of their own. The neighborhood is just a character as the people

I liked watching Kevin and Benny, I felt like they were brothers, always there for each other

While there is a tonal shift toward the end of the movie in a scene that doesn't fit, it does have an impact on the story.

All in all, turn your brain off and enjoy this light hearted romp through a 4th of July weekend.

Lottery Ticket: Review: The film reminded me of how stupid and boring First Sunday was and this even topped that. A man finds out his neighbor has a winning lottery ticket and tries to get it. Well obviously he tries to get it. Not Good. The film is also predictable and this just might go on limited release for two weeks and then go straight to DVD. Take my word for it, you will be disappointed. But, this film doesn't seem very popular so I wouldn't worry about it so much. By the way, I will not be writing reviews any more, only starring them, so you will not be able to see any others. Sorry. But time is money. Lottery Ticket is not good.

One thing comes to mind after watching this movie. Redbox! If you must see this movie, please don't spend $10 and 2 hours on this. Wait for the DVD release.

While I am happy that some folks are working and got a check for making this movie, this story is not worth full price. This is a story of what would happen if a young guy won the lottery in the ghetto. Word gets out about Kevin's (Bow Wow) winning, but because it is the 4th of July weekend he can't redeem the ticket until after the long weekend. So he has to try to hold on to the ticket and dodge gold-digging girls, thugs and drug dealers.

The storyline was predictable and the premise is weak. I guess I am supposed to care how a young man from the projects would spend his winnings, but I don't. There are some serious after school special undertones here. The writers are trying to tug the heart strings and the conscious. The heartstrings by highlighting the good girl/bad girl ideology will Kevin choose the good girl Stacie or the hot gold digger. Attempting to make the audience think, does money really solve all your problems? As was said earlier…don't care.

There are a lot of the stereotypical 'hood characters; the bible thumping grandmother, the local gangster, the hot hood rat, the good girl, the loyal best friend and the wise old person. None of the characters were interesting. If you miss The Lottery Ticket, you won't miss much.

3.6 rating? Must be my white brethren. The movie, as a morality tale, clearly makes the cut. Even though nefarious characters lend a hand, the overall message is still pretty clear: You need the community to see you through. Who's going to help you through the greed and missteps of your neighborhood.. Opie?? Sure, there were some things that were unrealistic (oh, gimme a break scenes). But the film still entertained, and communicated the eternal truth: that winning the lottery doesn't change you, it changes the people around you. Ice Cube was great, as was the entire cast. Hats off to the director, actors, and writer of this film.
