    Don't trust the 6.9 rating, nice as it is

    This movie is so much better than I expected when initially seeing its IMDb score. I saw a clip of it in Instagram and thought it'd be an interesting story to watch, but when I saw the rating here I almost gave up on watching it. I'm glad I didn't. The movie was very interesting throughout. It has a great cast and the fact that the story is true makes it all the more engaging. I found myself looking up what the numbers were that Jerry and Marge had made in real life while I was watching it. It is a very compelling, feel good story that will lighten your mood for the day and keep you hooked from beginning to end. Definitely worth a watch in my opinion.

    Not Enough Films Like This

    Steller acting, heartwarming story. No gunfights, no explosions or CGI, just a good story well told. Not enough films like this these days. Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening are perfect for the roles and are superb. Loved the comic relief from Rainn Wilson and Michael McKean's understated performance is very good. Excellent all around.

    A light and charming movie

    Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening are brilliant in this small but charming film about a retiree gaming the lottery. Although the movie isn't very funny and the stakes are quite low for the characters, the story is interesting enough to make it engaging.

    Great Feel Good Movie

    Very good movie and cast. All actors did an excellent job. The trailer sums it up, if it's your cup of tea, you will enjoy it. It has love story, humor, adventure, suspense and evil.

    And it was cool to know it was based on a real story, gave it more meaning. A great "feel good" movie

    8.4/10.

    Cute little heartwarming story

    'Jerry and Marge Go Large' is the retelling of real life story of lottery winners, Jerry and Marge Selbee (played by Bryan Cranston and Annette Benning, respectively) who find a loophole in a lottery game that guarantees winning if they buy enough tickets. Together, they start a small investment firm and gather enough capital to win nearly $27Million, all while helping their town return to its glory days.

    Very well done film! Acting, script, and flow are all top notch as one would expect from the big names in this film. The characters are well developed and the entire piece is focused on family and community over greed and corruption; a pleasant turn from similar get-rich-quick type movies.

    Definitely worth a watch!

    • Trivia
      While some see the Boston Globe article mentioned as a goof, it is not. Actually, there was an initial article written around 2011 by a female journalist for the Globe that exposed the betting groups and the flaw. The HuffPost article was written later and focused more on Jerry and Marge themselves.
    • Goofs
      When Jerry and Marge are explaining to Steve that they'd buy 312,000 tickets, Jerry says that it will take "four days of betting, two machines, twelve hours a day". Earlier, it had been established that a machine prints 1,000 tickets per hour. 312,000 tickets on two machines would take 156 hours, which is 13 days when printing for 12 hours per day.
    • Quotes

      Tyler: At Harvard, we learn a little something called binomial distribution. Look it up. Then you'll see why your odds are better when you fill out your own slips. You're welcome.

      Jerry: Binomial distribution only considers two factors, not a third which is human error or a fourth, which is the time it takes for you to fill in the tickets. You gain a whooping 32 bucks for every $100,000 you win. You're welcome.

    • Crazy credits
      As the End Credits begin to roll, pictures of the real life Jerry and Marge and their family, upon whose lives the movie is based, are shown.
