‘Jackpot!’ Review: Awkwafina & John Cena Fight Off Lotto Fever Gone Berserk In Action Comedy That Forgot The Laughs


A review of 'Jackpot!' with Awkwafina as a unsuspecting accidental lottery winner who finds she is the target of a berserk population out to kill her

Thus Rugged Man Seann William Scott is in a battle for his life that ends when kindly older woman (Dolly De Leon) succeeds in offing him and thereby is greeted by Johnny Grand (Murray Hill), the flashy M.C. There is an occasional moment or two that might qualify as clever, notably a set piece inside a Hollywood Boulevard wax museum where the combatants use the celebrity figures as weapons including Kim Kardashian’s head, but it doesn’t get much better than that, folks. Cast: Awkwafina, John Cena, Simu Liu, Ayden Mayeri, Donald Elise Watkins, Becky Ann Baker, Murray Hill, Seann William Scott, Dolly De Leon, Machine Gun Kelly.
