Lottery Ticket is generally harmless; too slight to hold-up the more serious themes it is thinking about, but too well-meaning to be out-and-out insulting.October 15, 2010
If given the opportunity to see Lottery Ticket again (once was enough!), I'd break down... and buy some lottery tickets instead.November 16, 2010
...shallow, clichéd, sentimental, and derivative; but the cast makes up for the plot's deficiencies with an amiable charm that's hard to resist.January 06, 2014
it has about 40 minutes of story and needs to be padded out to its 99-minute running timeNovember 21, 2010
The cast is terrific and the basic premise is pleasing, but a wavering tone robs Lottery Ticket of some of its power.August 20, 2010
Let's call it four out of six numbers, with no power bonus. Some payoff, but don't quit your job.January 05, 2013
A tasteless and obnoxious "comedy," "Lottery Ticket" is easily one of the year's worst films.December 20, 2010
No doubt the characters are stereotypes, but the performances are handled with a knowing wink and a great deal of fun.August 20, 2010
...a film that's largely wealthy in incoherence, raising a smile one minute and a cringe the next, until it finally devolves into a 'who-cares' cliché-fest.August 20, 2010
A jumble of comedy and drama with a sprinkling of After School Special messaging and some head-scratchingly bad choices.August 20, 2010
It all comes off a bit like an extended episode of "Everybody Hates Chris" with really bad language.August 24, 2010
There are enough stereotypes in here to get Dr. Laura frothing at the mouth -- and enough menace to merit co-writing credit for the Hughes brothers.
