Jackpot! 2024

★★½

Watched 25 Aug 2024

This is indubitably one of the dumber movies I've seen in a bit, but..... I laughed quite a bit.

It's a stupid premise about murdering lottery winners legally, but..... I mean, it's pretty intriguing.

As long as you don't think about it too much, because there are flaws in L.A. County's lotto scheme galore, but..... it's not to be taken real seriously because it's a John Cena/Awkwafina joint, right?

I mean, they say they're funding a broke L.A. but no one's buying lotto tickets, they're just given to the populace, the jackpot's 3 billion freaking dollars, it seems to happen every other day or something, and when the winner is announced, every goddamned amoral asshat drops what they're doing to do legalized lotto murder leaving the whole of L.A. in a chaotic fiduciary free fall, but...... OK, so it's getting hard to defend this jumbled joke jamboree but, there is so much crotch trauma! Dudes and dudettes alike. There's more snatch smacks, nut shots, clam jams, teste tickles, salami slaps, mons mangles, and clit claps then your common Beverly Hills genital rejuvenation shop.

Look, it is what it is. If you're expecting high art, go watch Wild Strawberries. If you want to watch John Cena do endearing meathead things whilst throwing people through walls, and Awkwafina doing sardonic self deprecating things whilst dodging people throwing sharp objects, then this is your shit.
