#Bow wow the lottery tickey movie
Other: The theme of this movie involves playing the lottery and gambling.Kevin Carson (Bow Wow) a young man living in the projects, is just an ordinary guy.until he wins $370 million in the Mondo Millions Lottery.
An adult woman drinks excessively to celebrate. Language: A sexual expletive, another crude term for sex, crude anatomical slang, frequent scatological expletives, racial slurs, derogatory words directed at women and other mild profanities are included.Īlcohol/Drug Use: Underage characters are seen drinking. One young woman refuses to allow a young man to wear one and later admits she wants to have his baby. Another teen couple begins pre-sexual activity (we see bare backs and shoulders) but are interrupted when her mother comes home. Sexual Content: Older teen characters (recent high school graduates) are involved in sexual situations including a young man and woman who are about to have sex (we see her in only underwear) until he refuses. A man, who appears to be involved in organized crime, threatens a young man. A man repeatedly threatens members of a neighborhood. Violence: Frequent verbal threats, hand-to-hand altercations (including punches that knock the victim unconscious or cause bleeding), and threats with guns are portrayed throughout-often involving older teen characters. Why is The Lottery Ticket rated PG-13? The Lottery Ticket is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for sexual content, language including a drug reference, some violence and brief underage drinking. Despite its best efforts to tender a heartwarming ending to the money-grabbing tale, The Lottery Ticket offers more content concerns than most parents will want to cash in on. Profanities, racial slurs, a sexual expletive and other sexual and derogatory terms litter the entire script as well. Unfortunately this comedy about a boy who tries to do right is punctuated with vicious fistfights and threatening gun use, which damper the feel of the film. However all the petitions from his neighbors seem like pocket change compared to the request from one man who demands Kevin hand over the winning ticket. He also naively accepts a large cash advance-used to go on a shopping and drinking binge with other underage friends-from the sort of character (Keith David) that has unusually brutal methods of ensuring debt repayment. Later he tries to seduce another young woman (Naturi Maughton) but is interrupted by the arrival of her mother. Still he is momentarily bedazzled by the advances of a gorgeous young woman (Teairra Mari) who wants to become his baby’s momma in order to ensure her own financial future. In a blatant grab for Kevin’s cash, the minister (Mike Epps) calls upon the young parishioner to make not only a donation for a new church but also a personal donation to the preacher for a new mansion.įollowing the life-changing event, Kevin tries to maintain his sensibility about money. And it is no different when he shows up at church on Sunday. (It seems one of the neighbors pried the information out of the older woman when he saw her doing a happy dance with an open bottle of liquor.) Now every one of them has a monetary appeal for Kevin. By the time he returns, the whole neighborhood is partying at his house. Wanting to keep the news quiet, he swears his grandmother to secrecy and takes off for the day with his friend Benny (Brandon T. The next morning he discovers he has won the entire $370 million jackpot, although it will be three days until he can turn the ticket over to the lottery board. Shuffling home from the mall, Kevin purchases a lottery ticket for his grandmother and at the last minute decides to buy one for himself. Lorenzo (Gbenga Akinnagbe) and his heavies are caught but the young employee becomes the number one target on the crook’s hit list. Yet even his income from working at a shoe store shrivels up when Kevin is fired after three thugs from his neighborhood try and walk out with several boxes of merchandise. Living in the projects with his grandmother (Loretta Devine), he has given up his dream of design school in order to help pay the rent. Kevin Carson (Bow Wow) is a good kid in a bad situation.
