If this movie was in the theaters, there would be a lot of snoring coming from the audience. Mom and I watched it, and was almost disturbed by Cranston and Bening playing fresh retirees (he was, anyway) in their 60's acting so feeble, and stiff. Maybe the real people (who's pics were at the end that got cut by Paramount + from us being able to watch the credits) are that feeble, but it was a little scary to watch. People in their 70's and up are more vibrant than that, including my Mom who happens to be a Stroke survivor. Why would his children gift him with a fishing boat if he doesn't fish? "Do I fish?' he asks. What a terrible gift! We couldn't understand any of the inner workings of how they play the Lottery, and finding how much they got total only at the end, when much smaller amounts were given, was a shock! Then he a buys a slightly used truck, after he "saves" the dinky town? Climb off the Cross, Jerry! What a Saint! Also, what a friendly town! I wish that was real. I do know a small town in Illinois that was like that in the 80's, though. A University town. But even that town wasn't perfect. Annette Bening looked a little strange, and the role was probably something she wouldn't have taken if it wasn't for Cranston being cast. Loved seeing Rainn Wilson! He rocks! This was entertaining to watch after a long day at a Doctor's office (for me), but don't expect any Lottery excitement. The thrills weren't there. The Harvard kid should have gone to prison for hacking into the Lottery! Hello, a crime? What that group did was illegal! Watch this during dinner so you don't fall asleep!
