Waking Ned Devine (DVD, 1999)

This is definitely a movie one can watch every few months and laugh every time! Even if you do not play the lottery or hail from Ireland, you will appreciate this movie.
The lush hills of Ireland are the backdrop to this story of human greed, need, and love. It opens with Jackie O'Shea watching the lottery drawing - he asks his wife to bring him some food, she tells him to get it himself. As each numbered ping pong ball starts to be announced, Jackie starts checking the numbers off on his ticket. As the drawing goes on, his wife starts to show interest, they may have the big winner! She graciously now gets him the bowl of food he requested and brings it to him as he jumps up that they won! As he takes the food, it is revealed that he only pulled this ruse to get his wife to bring him his food.
BUT the next day, Jackie sees in the paper that someone in their little town has indeed won the drawing. What happens then is Jackie, his best friend Michael O'Sullivan and Jackie's wife decide they shall befriend whomever is the holder of the winning ticket. Since this is not a spoiler, I will say no more on plot but what entails as they first hunt for the winner and then find the winner, you will be entertained nonstop along the way.
The movie will also have you questioning yourself, what would you do in a similar situation?
Heartwarming, endearing, a touch of black humor - a movie that will stay with you forever and have you chuckling anytime you see a skinny elderly man anywhere near a bicycle.
