Hanks. Unethamsanqa ngumdlalo omnyama malunga nokubawa, umtshato kunye nokubulala kunye nonyana kaTom Hanks ofana nqwa noColin -i-chip ebhlokondini yakudala-njengehloni, i-nerdy aw-shucks ye-drone yeofisi egama linguBen Keller, onomsebenzi wothusayo kwinkampani ye-accounting engayi ndawo ade aphumelele i-Iowa State Lottery eyi- $ 36 yezigidi. UBen uye wathwaxwa luthando olungafunekiyo kuLucy (Ari Graynor), ulwamkelo lweofisi, ukususela ebuntwaneni. Wayengenakukhathalela. Emva koko ukukhathaza kukaBen, umama onemithambo-luvo, uPauline (Ann-Margret, wabo bonke abantu), ufumana itikiti lotto elishwabeneyo nelilahliweyo elifihlwe kwikhabethe yonyana wakhe etshintsha ubomi bakhe. Ngokukhawuleza, uLucy ubona imiqondiso yeedola, ngokungaqondakaliyo utshata le doofus ngemali yakhe, kwaye ufunda ukumdanisa ukuba uhambe phantse kwisigidi esinye seedola kwitshekhi yakhe yokuqala ngexesha lokurekhoda kuba akanatalente ye-arithmetic (engaqhelekanga, yeakhawunti ye-wannabe) . Sele zizizathu zokuqhawula umtshato kwangoko. Kodwa linda. Embindini weholide yabo yasemva komtshato yaseHawaii (eneneni ifotwe ngaphakathi kumyezo wezilwanyana eCedar Rapids, eIowa, ukugcina imali), umdlalo ohlekisayo ngaphandle kokubetha ngenqindi enkulu xa u-Lucy efumanisa ukuba uBen ukwangumbulali!
Le ngcamango ye-absurdist ayikho ngaphandle kwesithembiso, kwaye i-cast iyimidlalo, inomdla kwaye iyingozi kakhulu, kodwa ngelishwa umlawuli uGil Cates Jr. akayazi into enokuyenza ngayo nayiphi na. Kwaye ukwenza izinto zibe mandundu, umdlalo weqonga kaKent Sublette (umbhali we NgoMgqibelo ebusuku) ibashiya belahlekile, njengemithwalo elahlekileyo kwindawo yokugcina ibhasi eGreyhound. ULucy, oceba ukupakisha iparakeet yakhe yezilwanyana zasekhaya kunye nokulahla uBen kwangoko xa isheke elandelayo ilotto ifika, uqhubeka nokumba aze akhubekise izidumbu, elibazisa ukuhamba kwakhe. Ngobuninzi be-leaden colloquy, uninzi lwefilimu luyaphuculwa ngenxa yezizathu ezicacileyo, ezinokuthi zichaze incoko yababini engakhange ichazwe okanye ihlekise. Kwimbambano, uLucy ukhalaza: inokuba ndikutshatile phantsi kobuxoki, kodwa emva kokuchitha ixesha nawe ndafika nyani… kodwa emva koko waqala ukubulala abantu, Ben, kwaye kunjalo nje kakhulu! Izidumbu zibandakanya ii-blondes ezintathu ezintle, enye yazo ibingumnini wokwenene wetikiti eliphumeleleyo, kunye nesoka langaphambili likaLucy kunye nomcuphi onobubi (ochitha uJeffrey Tambor) owenza impazamo ebulalayo yokuza phakathi kukaLucy kunye nelotto entsha khangela. Ngaphambi kokuphela kokujija, iitafile zijikela wonke umntu, kwaye isimanga sikhawulezisa, umphunga ogcwele ngaphambili.
UColin Hanks yipreppie ephosiweyo, enesifo sengqondo-enomtsalane, engaphantsi kwaye engokwemvelo kwindima edlala ngathi yiParker House roll. Ngobuninzi be-DNA yoyise ebonakalayo kunye nobuso obunokuthenjwa obomntu wonke obamenza ukuba abeyindalo yengqesho ezinzileyo, ndiyaxela ukuba uya kuthi morph ekukhokeleni kwiindima zomlinganiswa ngokukhawuleza nangaphezu kokuba kuthathe utata wakhe. Cetyiswa ukuba eyona nkwenkwezi eyi-Ari Graynor, i-comedienne ephumeleleyo kunye ne-edgy Ellen Barkin ehambelana ne-kooky, yoluleke ngokungahambelani, njenge-push-pull taffy. UAnn-Margret uhlala emangalisa, egcwele isimanga, kwaye emhle, nokuba ulahlekile kwaye uzonwabisa ngokuhamba ngentonga yomgunyathi. Kwi Unethamsanqa, abasoloko benethamsanqa. Ifilimu inqabile, iimeko ezothusayo kunye nokungaphuhliseki, ukuhamba kancinci njengokuhamba kancinci kwitampu evuzayo, kunye nokubaliswa nje okuhamba kunye nenani lomzimba elinyukayo ngaphandle kwesizathu.
Ukuziphatha, ukuba ukhangela ngokusondeleyo, kulula: Ukuba uyi-wacko yokubulala abantu, qiniseka ukuba awuthandani nomntu okrelekrele kunawe. Kodwa kuza emva kwexesha, kwi-epilogue eyenziweyo eyayingayi kubamba inkundla ngenjikalanga yangoLwesihlanu.
