Jackpot, Nevada is a town one hundred miles south of Twin Falls, Idaho. But Jackpot also means the payout of a slot machine-wealth without effort. For Sunny Holiday (Jon Gries), the pathway to success is to become a country-western singer. Abandoning his beautiful wife Bobbi (Daryl Hannah) and their young baby, he sets off with his manager Lester Les Irving (Garrett Morris) on a nine-month, forty-three-city tour through a series of bleak western towns.

Critics Consensus

A somewhat aimless movie that's too artsy for its own good.

Because there is no real chance Sunny will triumph -- Rocky this isn't -- we await the end with the same polite, mildly bemused vacancy with which we await the end of a serious karaoke performance, only without the benefit of alcohol. Go to Full Review
Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Sep 24, 2001
3.5/5
For anyone interested in a movie that wipes clean the grungy patina of self-delusionment, Jackpot hits solid pay dirt. Go to Full Review

Luke M Oct 3, 2007 The filmmakers throw in an extended flatulence routine and enough graphic references to female anatomy to make "The Vagina Monologues" blush. See more
