Critic Reviews

Steven Rea

Filled with bleak, beautiful Hopperesque tableaus and strange characters whose lives intersect. Read full review

David Sterritt

Gries and Morris act up a storm as the optimistically named Sunny Holiday and his long-suffering manager. Read full review

Jay Carr

Bummer theater. Read full review

Carla Meyer

The filmmakers throw in an extended flatulence routine and enough graphic references to female anatomy to make "The Vagina Monologues" blush. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

Jackpot has much that is sweet and funny, but it is not overly original--and it is overly long and not as coherent as it might be. Read full review

A.O. Scott

The movie is smart in small ways, yet an underachiever in big ones -- but it will probably play very well on television. On the big screen, it's distended and diffuse. Read full review

Rita Kempley

Nobody hits the jackpot here, certainly not filmmakers Michael and Mark Polish, whose audacious, empathic first film, "Twin Falls Idaho," showed such promise. Read full review
