Starring: Danny Aiello, Anthony LaPaglia
Running Time: 1h 41min
The true story of the first New York State Lottery Winner is told with just the right mix of heart and comedy by Gallo. Inspired performances by all the cast really give this movie its heart. The relationship between the son and the father is very real.
The fact that he was a lotto winner is hardly the factor here, an an ordinary guy's life makes for interesting drama. This movie seems so true to life that when a certain unbelievable incident occurs, it's hard to believe it really happened.
Gallo has a way of finding humour in situations, and is especially good with animals. I feel kind of biased rating this movie [I met Gallo when I was a teenager and was invited to the set of Trapped in Paradise] but Gallo does have a talent at writing about real life drama, with the comedy that does come out of it.
Grade: B
