Imagine “The Purge” as a Bidenomics satire!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ll get comedy maestro Paul Feig of “Bridesmaids” fame to direct and lasso Awkwafina and John Cena to headline. <\/p>\n

What could go wrong? Try absolutely everything.<\/p>\n

“Jackpot” is so bad that, by the halfway mark, your senses have been bludgeoned into a stupor. The rest is neither good, bad nor indifferent. It just exists and you wait patiently for the sweet release of the end credits.<\/p>\n

And then you’re met with a crush of unfunny bloopers. The pain … it never ends.<\/p>\n

Awkwafina stars as Katie Kim, a former child star who returns to Los Angeles circa 2030 to revive her acting career. She literally hits the jackpot when she wins California’s “Purge”-like lottery. Yes, she’ll be a billionaire soon enough, but only if she lives long enough to grab the payout.<\/p>\n

You see, this lottery allows anyone to kill the winner before sundown and get the money.<\/p>\n

There’s more inane rules. You can’t shoot the lottery winner, but knives and other deadly implements are fair game. And you can hire people to protect you during that vulnerable, post-announcement window.<\/p>\n

That’s where John Cena’s Noel comes in.<\/p>\n

He’s happy to keep Katie safe for a percentage of her winnings. He appears to be the only person in all of California who has her best interests at heart. (And she can’t stop trashing him…) Everyone else is lunging for the nearest weapon to off Katie.<\/p>\n

Hilarious, right? It’s even worse than it sounds.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t win if you don\u2019t play. Starring Awkwafina, John Cena and directed by Paul Feig, Jackpot! arrives August 15. \"\ud83c\udfac\" https:\/\/t.co\/HeW9EjdOKi<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/JECLP2NCFJ<\/a><\/p>\n
