Its not an uncommon category, but in this age of vampire overload and revamped 80s trash (read "Piranha')movies about winning the lottery deliver a nice "feel-good" quotient and the chance to vicariously enjoy the good life through the lucky participants.
in our typical side-by-side style, this time around its the Ice Cube-produced Lottery Ticket vs former commercial director Kirk Jones' Irish romp Waking Ned Devine. Not quote apples and apples, but the similarities are of course, obvious.
On the watchability scale, Ned wins hands down - better acting, better laughs and of course, Ireland beats Atlanta as a location in my book (notwithstanding the great time I had covering the Atlanta Jazz Fest in 2007).
But of course, don't take my word for it. take a chance on either or both of these comedies and see for yourself.
