Movie Review for Parents

-by Ginger

This movie is about greed and human nature. In this movie, Kevin Carson, a young man from the projects wins a huge lottery prize. He must then survive the greed of his neighbors as they try to get the ticket for themselves. They threaten his life as he tries to survive a three-day weekend before he can claim his prize.

The movie is billed as an urban comedy. It is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for sexual content, some violence, underage drinking and references to violence. Oh, what about the theme that gambling eventually leads to winning the “big one”, even if the gambling is state sanctioned? The movie could serve as a big advertisement that encourages people to play the lottery, because they may win big too. They can have the fancy sports car, the good-looking girl and everything, if they just play. The rags to riches story suggests that you do have a chance to win the lottery.

The poor guy who wins the ticket gets punched numerous times, propositioned, and cheated throughout the movie, all for his good fortune. Most of the characters were superficial and placed high value on material things. In my opinion, it could have been a PG-13, except for one scene where two characters are in bed. Okay, she did have her underwear on, but the scene suggests that this would not be for long, and there was an aggressive factor there too. For this reason, it is closer to an R. If you take small children to this one, be prepared to cover their eyes a lot. For teens, use discretion based on your teen’s ability to handle such content.
