I enjoyed this movie almost completely, and I liked how the film made you root for something illegal to happen. The fact that the whole village was trying to defraud the Lottery Board didn't bother me, as it was presented in a very charming fashion. But near the end, when you're supposed to root for something very unpleasant to happen...well, that took me right out of it. I see that some of the other reviewers here loved that part--which says something about them and something about me, I guess. But it left me with a bad taste in my mouth and reduced what until then had been a very pleasurable experience to something less.
