"How far would you go to win a fortune!"
Jackie O'Shea reads in the newspaper that someone in his area has won a big prize on the lottery. The village he lives in with 51 inhabitants is the only village in that region, so he thinks 1 of them must be the winner. He wants to find out who the winner is, in order to get some money himself. He invites everyone who bought a lottery ticket to eat with him. At dinner, he tries to find out who won. He notices it's no one he invited, but Ned Devine didn't come. He goes looking for Ned.

Good film in which two men go in search of the lotto winner from their small village. A fun and also original story in which the small community is well portrayed. Sympathetic characters filled in by an equally sympathetic cast. Comical, without being too exaggerated. Filmed on Isle of Man, which certainly makes for some nice pictures.

rachtfilm and all famous actors. Really lovely British humour!!! You don't lie on the table with laughter, but the smile remains a 
constant factor.
I would like to live in such a village with such characters!
So....., who has a tip?

Awesome movie. Funny, bizarre and very entertaining to watch. Very nice movie too. Not just comical, but serious too.
