"I WON" ...Lottery Ticket Screening

Well on yesterday I had the pleasure of going to see an advanced screening of the Lottery Ticket, and I will say I was somewhat impressed. It had that funny-yet corny vibe, but it worked. And to add icing on the cake co-stars Bow Wow, Naturi Naughton, and Brandon T. Jackson were also in attendance to give a few tidbits. I must say it was good to see young actors truly investing into there films, and plus they look they had fun while doing it.

Now I could go all day talking about the characters in the movie, everyone played there role to a tee!! And regardless of how big or small the part you were bound to do one of two things cry tears of laughter and or ponder on thought. Case in point, without spoiling it for you Mike Epps, T-Pain, and Charlie Murphy, those three right there will have you rolling over with laughter. And when you think about it, they probably didn't have to put in too much effort considering the type of folks that they are in the entertainment world.

Now a character who really stuck for a not so obvious reason is that of rising star Gbenga Akinnagbe who played the protagonist Lorenzo. One thing that stood out was that although he was a criminal he was a very intellectual one, which at least gave the audience an appreciation of his role. I must admit this was a good mix of actors, all the way from your seasoned ones to the newbies. Thank goodness for that, the wealth is being shared.

(ATL Screening of Lottery Ticket)

With all the message spread out through out the movie, there are definitely many lessons to be learned. We get an opportunity to see how far friendships will go, and how money does not have to change people lives for the worse, but rather enhance them. Amazing what can happen as a result of a small piece of paper.

The one good thing I liked about this movie was that everyone could definitely relate to the subject matter of the film.I love the fact that you leave away from the theater with several positive messages. The young and old could learn a thing or two about the the 'rags to riches' lifestyle.

Rating: 2.5 out of 4 stars
