Tender and gentle - easy does it
22 June 2022
A man who has been forced to retire spots a loophole in the lottery and exploits it to help his town (and himself)

There is not a lot to this movie story wise and I have some sympathy for the reviewers who said they found this boring.

The story is simple and the characters uncomplicated - the small amount of drama that arises is smoothed over to cause more of a hump than a peak.

But saying all that I really liked this.

It is heart warming and non-offensive without being too sickly.

The humour is understated and causes a few chuckles.

The acting and production are all pretty good - but no one is trying for an Oscar here.

In all this was a delightful and relaxing watch.

If you want high excitement or drama then keep jogging - because this is not for you.

But, if you want something that is going to lower your heart rate and make you smile for an hour and a half then don't think twice.
