With Prime Video entry \u201cJackpot!,\u201d director Paul Feig switches up the formula, crafting stunt-intensive set-pieces where the action itself makes you laugh. That could mean anything from Awkwafina hiding out among the wax figures of a tacky Hollywood museum to the sight of ex-wrestler John Cena taking on a room of black belts with the \u201cCrazy Rich Asians\u201d breakout str<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ed to his back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Why are people trying to kill Awkwafina? \u201cJackpot!\u201d asks audiences to buy in to a clever but often illogical premise about a radical rule change to the California lottery. In the year 2030, the winning ticket comes with a price: The money\u2019s only yours to keep if you can stay alive till sundown. In the meantime, winners must navigate an impromptu Hunger <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a>s on the streets of Los Angeles, in which their winnings double as a sort of bounty, awarded to whoever\u2019s crafty enough to kill them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    No offense to Rob Yescombe (who was named one of <em>Variety<\/em>\u2019s Screenwriters to Watch last year), but that idea\u2019s about as far as he got in a sloppy screenplay that\u2019s otherwise propped up by whatever improv the cast could bring and surprisingly funny fight scenes. Feig shows how the state\u2019s win-lose-or-die lottery works right out of the gate, as that day\u2019s winner (Seann William Scott) tries to outrun a greedy mob. The rules seem pretty straightforward, which makes it hard to swallow that Awkwafina doesn\u2019t know what\u2019s going on when her number is drawn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The comic plays it equal parts ornery and oblivious as Katie Kim, a former child actor who\u2019s not crazy about having to perform again, but has no other choice after her deadbeat stage dad ran off with all her earnings. During her first (amusingly humiliating) audition, she discovers the winning ticket in her pocket, accidentally activates it with her thumb, and the next thing she knows, she\u2019s become an instant celebrity: the most valuable person in all of L.A. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Lucky for her, a freelance bodyguard named Noel (Cena) bursts through the wall, like a musclebound Kool-Aid Man, and starts knocking heads. He\u2019s the near-future equivalent of an ambulance-chasing lawyer \u2014 and a welcome ally in helping Katie avoid her \u201cfans\u201d (as the movie calls them). Turns out, not everyone wants to kill her. But like any good talent agent, this guy expects a 10% commission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    There are traces running all through \u201cJackpot!\u201d of a more pointed Hollywood satire, as if Yescombe or Feig or someone along the way wanted to skewer Americans\u2019 obsession with becoming rich and famous. Weirdly enough, Katie doesn\u2019t want either. She didn\u2019t buy the ticket, but found it in a borrowed pair of gold lam\u00e9 sweatpants. Stranger still, the movie seems to have landed on the word \u201cweird\u201d at the same moment that VP candidate Tim Walz made it the insult du jour, adding an unexpected resonance to some of the movie\u2019s weaker jabs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cJackpot!\u201d demands a trickier kind of physical comedy than Awkwafina\u2019s been asked to deliver before, and even though her character is supposed to read as clumsy and incompetent, it takes considerable skill to pull off the routines that action choreographer James Young has in store for her. Given his WWE background, Cena is far more accustomed to making fake fighting seem entertaining, but once again reminds of his good-sport sense of humor (as the scene-stealer did earlier this year in \u201cRicky Stanicky\u201d).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Thirteen years ago, Feig struck comedy gold with the Judd Apatow-produced \u201cBridesmaids,\u201d but he\u2019s subsequently been hit-and-miss, trying to edge his way into other genres (most recently with YA fantasy flop \u201cThe School for Good and Evil\u201d). Fitting neatly between \u201cThe Heat\u201d and 2016\u2019s \u201cGhostbusters\u201d reboot, \u201cJackpot!\u201d finds the dapper director squarely in his comfort zone, falling back on some of the tricks that worked so well in \u201cBridesmaids,\u201d minus the underlying relatability of that film\u2019s brilliant screenplay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The most obvious of those strategies comes in casting, which he entrusts to secret weapon Allison Jones, who\u2019s been unearthing funny people for him and Apatow as far back as \u201cFreaks &amp; Geeks.\u201d (It was Jones who brought Seth Rogen and Melissa McCarthy into the mix.) Here she delivers half a dozen diverse, laugh-out-loud supporting comics to the ensemble, from Katie\u2019s insensitive\/homicidal Airbnb host (Ayden Mayeri) to the shady leader of the Lottery Protection Agency (Simu Liu), who\u2019s looking to steal Noel\u2019s fee for himself. She even enlists Machine Gun Kelly, who proves a self-deprecating good sport in playing a panic-room-ready version of himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The \u201cJackpot!\u201d script is full of twists, few of which will come as a surprise, so why spoil them here? Meanwhile, that puts the burden on how well Awkwafina and company can punch up their scenes. \u201cJackpot!\u201d winds up being one of those <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> where you can tell the actors tried dozens of jokes and the editor went with the best ones, although the outtake-loaded end credits suggest funnier options often existed. In a way, it\u2019s fitting that Katie\u2019s survival depends on how well she can think on her feet, considering how heavily the film also relies on improvisation. It\u2019s that very skill that stands to make Awkwafina a millionaire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
