(Plot) Kevin Carson (Bow Wow) lives in the projects. He must be able to survive a three day weekend after his sneaky neighbors find out he's holding a lottery ticket that is worth a ridiculous 370 million dollars. The idea was actually quite amusing. It was the execution which bothered me immensely. None of these guys are likable what so ever, especially Bow Wow. I get it was supposed to be a comedy, but these guys annoyed me so much. Sadly, I'm gonna have to get used to Bow Wow being in movies, because I highly doubt he is gonna go away any time soon. I didn't laugh during this movie, not once. And I usually laugh at least a couple times during something. It was a really unfunny film that I don't wish upon anyoneFinal Thoughts: Unless you're a huge Bow Wow fan, I would stay away from this movie. I love comedy, and there was nothing remotely unfunny about this train-wreckDUD

OK first off i seen some of the reviews and they saying bad acting this(on Bow Wow Part) but nevertheless the guy Brandon Jackson is a certified monster. The roof scene was insane to me, the look the feel, what was said, pure awesome.Ice cube also had a great performance. I also read that is wasn't realistic, it wasn't suppose to be, this is a lighter side a comedy.This was a great movie for me, i will watch it over and over again, Period.This is a movie to have fun with, even tho bow wow didn't impress a lot of people i think he did fine, he never was a great actor to begin with, but to have this type stage is good for him. My hat goes off again to Brandon Jackson, he was my All-Star in this particular film. If you do watch it just keep an eye on him.

Talk about clichés in motion pictures. This picture is just another example. The black youth being raised by a stern, but cunning grandmother, nicely played by Loretta Devine. He has a lottery ticket worth $370 million at his disposal. Naturally, greed enters the situation.We see the slums among the African Americans. They also want a piece of the pie.Naturally, there are the troublemakers that want the money. We see the attempt at an African American teen attempting to be an entrepreneur which is good, but we have seen this over and over.

This was a hilarious film. There were tons of comedians but the best humor comes from the likes of comedic actor Brandon T. Jackson (who has a dramatic turn in this film). Also rapper/actor Bow Wow was great especially in his expressions. The suspense of the movie-long chase of his character Kevin was fun and creepy. People call it "Friday" light. It's a little less profane but it's actually realistically heavy for the inner city life of some young adults trying to do better. It avoids pity-me clichés and actually offers audiences another look at project life. Kevin Carson has a job and his best female friend is a positive girl who is not hyper-sexual but instead college and career focused. People forget that "Friday" was actually not well received by critics itself although it is heavily quoted and a favorite among many people. Although it's a cult favorite among African Americans it also went on to inspire the people behind "Pineapple Express" which was a better reviewed stoner film. "Lottery Ticket" is no stoner film. The whole family can see this and should. You will definitely laugh out loud.
