Jerry & Marge Go Large - Paramount+ - great movie & great cast

I didn’t understand why he was scared of the kid. He should’ve just turned him in for hacking their database.

I thought it was a decent movie. It's pretty cool that the real people did use their strategy to help their town. I don't know if the Harvard kid part was true or dramatic license...I suspect it is the latter. Anyway, a good movie to watch with the wife on a rainy day.

Yeah I'm a sucker for kind-hearted feel good movies/shows like this. Ted Lasso is another example.

There was a conflict there, but you're right that it was exaggerated for the movie.

The film does take a few small liberties with the real story, shifting the action to the present and amping up the conflict between the Selbees and a group of college students who also discovered the lottery’s loophole.)

I liked the movie well enough, even though the tone and performances leaned towards a Hallmark holiday movie. My wife thought it was weak and cheesy (but then we were coming off of seeing Sandler's NBA movie, which had really impressed her a lot).

By the way, Annette Benning looks like an awesome older woman now. If she's had work done on her face, it's minimal. I know they dressed her down and gave her an intentionally horrible hairstyle, but it was nice to see a former movie beauty queen in her mid-60's and looking like a normal, attractive retiree.
