FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/jackpot-review-a-carefree-blend-of-absurdity-action-and-humor/ "Jackpot! is a movie that delivers on its promise: pure, dumb entertainment. Without any pretensions of becoming a memorable film or delving into complex themes, Paul Feig delivers a light, admittedly silly experience, with a charismatic cast that stands out for its comedic delivery. It’s a safe choice for anyone looking for a carefree evening of fun, full of action and humor, without the need to reflect too much on sociopolitical topics. While it may not be a movie that stays in memory, it serves its purpose effectively, making it a recommended option for fans of easygoing action comedies." Rating: B-
I love no other actor more than Awkwafina. She is the best. However this movie makes me think maybe she isn't the best. It's a shitty, loud, beat-em-up movie. If it were up to simply this movie and I had to decide greatest actor, I might say Cena over Fina. But since there are a litany of amazing Awkwafina performances, we know she's better. It just kind of sucks. But Fina and Cena are adorbs. So it's better than it would be. I love TMNT. This movie is kind of custom made for me so I did enjoy it. A little long.
Let's start begging a superheroes and villains. Simu Liu and Awkwafina from marvel's Shang chi and finally was John cena is a Peacemaker from the movie series of Suicide Squad. This show is so funny😂🤣😅
It would have been a lot better if they had cast someone other than Awkwafina - god she was so annoying in this movie. John Cena felt good in his role but Awkwafina looked absolutely out of place
