When opportunity comes knocking on your door, you have to jump at whatever the offer is because you just might end up being a millionaire. A quaint little Irish comedy, this film asks the question of how far would you go to collect the lottery winnings of a dead man. When the scheming starts and the whole village gets involved you honestly want to be a part of it. The characters that inhabit this little town are so friendly that you feel at home the moment you meet them.On the night of the drawing of the National Lottery, the sole winner dies and the local villagers conspire to collect the winnings. The whole film moves so quickly that when the end comes you don't even realize that the movie is over. The twists and turns that the story takes feels like real life, every time you think that you have everything under control some little problem arises to mess things up. The acting here is just prefect, you have the feeling that you are truly in a small Irish village and the residents have been here all their lives. Shot entirely on location you can't help but see the isolation of the community and how easily the whole village is like one large family.
This is a nice little comedy that can be watched by the whole family without any vulgar language or violence. The issues that the film deals with are a little strong for a younger audience but there is always a lighter side to everything so the topics go down a little easier. If you've never seen this film its worth the watch, it will leave a smile on your face and a little spring in your step.
