A small independent NY production. Acting was the highlight, production was satisfactory throughout, considering the limitations of time and production muscle. As with all films that are essentially "theatrical", that rely on a story and the protagonists, Lotto Land ultimately is no better than its script, which in this case is average. A comedy in the Greek sense - boy meets girl until the happy ending - is updated to a contemporary NY setting. Fatherless boy, alcoholism, the struggles to survive in the city. Successful in the detailing, the film can only mildly rise up to the emotion transcendence that is the aim of the genre.
However, for all movie buffs, certainly an enjoyable view.
