From Bridesmaids to Spy to 2016’s Ghostbusters, Paul Feig’s movies always promise a good dose of fun and to not take themselves too seriously. His latest, Jackpot!, is no exception, offering over-the-top action and one-liners galore, all with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
In the film’s 2030 LA, things look much as they do today - except that it’s legal to murder the winner of the city’s Grand Lottery in order to steal their prize before sundown. Played by Awkwafina (Jumanji: The Next Level, Quiz Lady), aspiring actor Katie Kim arrives in town wanting to turn her life around, and has no idea what she’s in for when she finds herself in possession of the winning ticket.
