Jerry and Marge Go Large (2022)

Many people dream of the day that their 9-5 is finally in the past, but Jerry is floundering in retirement. He's never been very social and has no hobbies; the thing he understands and excels at is numbers. So when he idly reads through the rules of a new lottery game, he's surprised to discover that the odds can tip toward the player when the volume of tickets is high enough.

I really enjoyed this movie. Though a bit formulaic and a tad low-key, both of those elements worked in its favor. It's hopeful and nice and has the added benefit of being based on a true story to prevent the temptation of rolling one's eyes and saying "no way."
