Too many inconsistencies!

First off, you have to pay taxes off your lotto wins so their four million would have been significantly less. Second, I disagree with the ending with how the wife got everything in the end but I am glad she lost it all. She deserved to lose everything due to her greed. Third, the ticket wasn't hers, Her husband stood in line and bought the ticket using the numbers she gave him. Hence, in the divorce it should have been split equally since they both put effort into getting the ticket in the first place.

I'm glad too she lost it all and Charlie and Yvonne won out in the end.

yeah, and that happens all the time. the do-gooders live happily ever after while the scumbags lose everything.

I guess the court thought differently, though I'm not sure how on the ball Charlie's lawyer was.🐭

you're being t00 literal, could you have imagined the tag line for the film, or him telling her "i'll give you a 1,634,163 dollar tip!"

they won the money, it was half each, and then whatever happened with taxes happened, wow you must be fun to watch a film with!

you must have watched a different movie with more of the court case in it. I didn't get to hear everything the jury did.

I could overlook the lack of a story involving the taxes. that's pretty dull.

everything else surrounding rosie's character was made in the plainest sense to give her a story arc that made her as evil as possible (within the story) and then bring her crashing down (that karma that we all wish was real).
