Jerry & Marge Go Large (2022)

A mathematical wiz and recent retiree (Bryan Cranston) discovers a flaw in the Massachusetts state lottery. So he and his wife (Annette Bening) embark on an exciting multi million dollar winning spree. But a calculating and selfish Harvard student (Uly Schlesinger) also dicovers the flaw and threatens to destroy them unless they leave the "game" and leave the making of millions to him. Based on a true story as published in the Huffington Post by Jason Fagone and directed by David Frankel (THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA). An intriguing true life tale is reduced to a sappy "feel good" movie. The first third is decent enough until you realize the movie's not going anywhere. I felt bad for Annette Bening, one of the best actresses in the business. Is this really the best she's getting offered? If it is, one shudders at what's she turning down. It's watchable but is it worth watching? With Rainn Wilson, who's positively annoying and Michael McKean, Ann Harada and Tori Kelly.
