I found this movie to be cringeworthy. If it had been made with an all white cast, the reviews would all say that it was an unbelievable plot, because white people would never hunt down someone in their community to steal a winning lottery ticket from them. Yet, for some reason, this is totally plausible in a black community and even considered funny? I'm not sure what kind of statement the writer and director were trying to make here, but what I took away from this mess is that there isn't a great deal of trust or support within black communities, and poverty makes people do the ugliest most desperate things. I didn't laugh even once. I was too busy being horrified and embarrassed.
