Jerry and Marge Go Large

This movie is so much better than I expected when initially seeing its IMDb score. I saw a clip of it in Instagram and thought it'd be an interesting story to watch, but when I saw the rating here I almost gave up on watching it. I'm glad I didn't. The movie was very interesting throughout. It has a great cast and the fact that the story is true makes it all the more engaging. I found myself looking up what the numbers were that Jerry and Marge had made in real life while I was watching it. It is a very compelling, feel good story that will lighten your mood for the day and keep you hooked from beginning to end. Definitely worth a watch in my opinion.

'Jerry and Marge Go Large' is the retelling of real life story of lottery winners, Jerry and Marge Selbee (played by Bryan Cranston and Annette Benning, respectively) who find a loophole in a lottery game that guarantees winning if they buy enough tickets. Together, they start a small investment firm and gather enough capital to win nearly $27Million, all while helping their town return to its glory days.

Very well done film! Acting, script, and flow are all top notch as one would expect from the big names in this film. The characters are well developed and the entire piece is focused on family and community over greed and corruption; a pleasant turn from similar get-rich-quick type movies.

Definitely worth a watch!

Great movie for us older folks. The fact that it's loosely based on what happened is the reason I wanted to see this movie. Most of the movies today have so many CGI scenes to make up for a lack of a story line.

Well worth a watch 👍🏽👍🏽

There is not a lot to this movie story wise and I have some sympathy for the reviewers who said they found this boring.

The story is simple and the characters uncomplicated - the small amount of drama that arises is smoothed over to cause more of a hump than a peak.

But saying all that I really liked this.

It is heart warming and non-offensive without being too sickly.

The humour is understated and causes a few chuckles.

The acting and production are all pretty good - but no one is trying for an Oscar here.

In all this was a delightful and relaxing watch.

If you want high excitement or drama then keep jogging - because this is not for you.

But, if you want something that is going to lower your heart rate and make you smile for an hour and a half then don't think twice.

Very good movie and cast. All actors did an excellent job. The trailer sums it up, if it's your cup of tea, you will enjoy it. It has love story, humor, adventure, suspense and evil.

And it was cool to know it was based on a real story, gave it more meaning. A great "feel good" movie

8.4/10.
