The movie lottery ticket is a comedy film that came out in early 2010 on DVD. It is about a character named Kevin and his two best friends Benny and Stacy and he is working at foot locker and living in the ghetto with his grandma. He is living the average life until he goes to the gas station and gets a lottery ticket. He tries to keep it a secret but his whole neighborhood figures out and is after his lottery ticket. The rest of the movie is about problems Kevin runs into concerning the lottery ticket. The notable actors in this film are Bow wow and ice cube. Many critics were pleased with bow wow’s performance and it came to them a surprise of how he acted in the movie most of them thought he wasn’t going to be as good as he turned out. The Theme of the movie I think is that it is better to remain silent sometimes because if he didn’t tell anyone no would have figured it out. According to Joe Lozito of Big picture Big sound he says that the lottery ticket is a “Sweet, and very noisy, ensemble comedy lives up to its premise when it sticks closely to its neighborhood and its characters” I agree with this critic because most of the setting in the movie takes place in his neighborhood and there are many different supporting characters that all have some sort of relationship to each other. Overall I would rate this movie a three and a half stars out of five. Because it isn’t one of my favorites but it is a movie that you can remember laughing at and keeping you in suspense of what is going to happen to Kevin and his lottery ticket.
