I don't know why this movie didn't do better, and why some reviews are ONE STAR reviews. It is certainly much better than ONE STAR. Nevertheless, I found this to be up with GET SHORTY, very dialogue driven movie, which I personally love.

Very funny moments, characters and story. Tim Roth, Michael Rapaport, Ed O'Neil, Bill Pullman and Michael Moore all add great funny performances. I generally don't like Travolta, but both this and GET SHORTY is the exception.

This, like 29th Street is an underrated movie that I think people had too high expectations and therefore the possible disaapointment. I laughed almost through the entire movie. What people will do for money!

This film is underrated and underappreciated. I've shown it to several friends and they thought it was great also.

Can't say enough about Lisa Kudrow in this film, every scene she's in, she steals. Michael Moore's last scene with Lisa Kudrow is classic. They did a great job! If you like a good, dark comedy, this film is for you!

This is a great John Travolta comedy that was probably inspired by a true story in Pittsburgh Pennsyvania back in 1980,when a local popular television celebrity "Nick Perry" was allegedly involved in a televised lottery fix and had to serve prison time.Anyway,it's an interesting must see movie !!!!!

Not The best comedey i've seen in recent years but Travolta just
shines as the arrogant T.v Weatherman Russ Richards who with a
not so bright ditzy blonde and a bar owner friend plan to to fix
his station's lottery money to himself as a way out of his finacial troubles. Travolta has a flare for harmless comedy and seems to be having fun in doing so and does not take the script too serlously. Lisa Kudrow is also funny endearing to the part quite well. This is the kind of film you want to watch when you want to forget about the pressures of life for a little while.

Slightly vulgar, but apparently one of the best comedies America has ever seen since "Hot Shots" I reccomend this movie to anyone thirteen and above. It's got a great cast - Colin Mocrie, John Travolta, Lisa Kudrow, who else do you need? Trust me - you gotta see it to believe it!

I'm dumbfounded by some of the reviews this page...guess they just didn't "get" it. This film is hilarious. It's clever, witty and extremely entertaining. Travolta is classic as the pathetic "gameshow-host wannabe" weather man. The characters are so well defined and so sadly pathetic in their own ways - it's what makes the film such a classic comedy. It's unbelievable that more people have not caught on to it. If you liked the Big Lebowski, Orange County, the Cable Guy - any film with esoteric characterization, you will absolutely love this film. It's a dark comedy people, get over it.

When a likable Weatherman (John Travolta), who is in debt riddled decides to rob the lottery numbers with his attractive but rudeful girlfriend (Lisa Kudrow) with his friend (Tim Roth) replacing the lottery balls with fixed numbers but it`s gets complicated, when a Thug (Micheal Rapaport), who wants part of the money. A sleazy T.V. Station Owner (Ed O`Neill), who wants the whole thing and a Lazy Detective (Bill Pullman), who on the case of a missing bookie (Richard Schiff), who could be involved with the fixed lottery numbers.

Directed by Nora Ephorn (Sleepless in Seattle, Micheal) has made a Edgy Comedy, this was a Box Office Flop in the fall of 2000. Some might not enjoy this dark comic film but those who enjoy performance by a Solid Cast might love this. Based on a True Story. DVD`s has an clean anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1) transfer and an good Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD`s has an running commentary track by Director:Ephorm and a few more Extras on the DVD. Written by Adam Resnick (Cabin Boy, Death to Smootchy, Looney Tunes:Back in Action). Grade:A-.

I went to see this movie it's opening weekend back in October. I am not a fan of John Travolta but I am a huge Lisa Kudrow fan. Its been six months since the release of this film and without ever viewing this again, I went out and bought it. I didn't really remember that much about it. I just remembered in one of the first things when Lisa Kudrow's character Christal tripped and the look on her face and I knew I had to buy this movie. That is how it is for the entire movie. There arent ALOT of really funny moments but there are enought to easily get you through the movie. Lisa Kudrow is great as Christal, a snobby Lotto girl, who seems to be sleeping with everyone. Bill Pullman is hilarious as a lazy cop. I recommend this to anyone who wants something a little different than the mainstream comedies that seem to be more popular. This was funny in its own, original way. As for the DVD itself, there arent alot of special features but I guess in the end, all you need is the movie.

I just loved this movie, I think that it is very funny. John Travolta sure was the perfect actor for his place in this movie. I thought that with Lisa Kudrow starring in this movie, then it would be funnier than any other movie... You have to get this movie, you will never regret it.

this movie is very underrated. it could've done much better but i guess they didnt advertise enough and the marketing team for the movie sucked but i personally love lisa kudrow ever since friends and this movie was great. shes hilarious as usual and the storyline was based on a true story and it was very funny and entertaining. so underrated i dont understand.
