Entertainment Reviews:
...A nicely observed slice of road life recalling the gritty ethos of FIVE EASY PIECES...
Variety
...[Mullen's] talent for making photography an integral part of a film is second to none....Technically, JACKPOT is a feast...
New York Times
Rating: 3.5/5 --
For anyone interested in a movie that wipes clean the grungy patina of self-delusionment, Jackpot hits solid pay dirt.

...[A] gently downbeat slice of life that wins points for believability....The performances are a plus....JACKPOT is most satisfying visually...
Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 2/4 --
The Polish brothers are clearly talented; all they need now is a story that's more interesting than this one.

Rating: 2/5 --
The Polish brothers seem more intent on giving their film an artsy sheen than on making sense of the characters or their plight.
Sacramento News & Review
...Sweet and funny...

Product Description:
Twin brothers Mark and Michael Polish, who collaborated on the cult hit, TWIN FALLS, IDAHO, a quirky but contemplative film about a woman in love with a Siamese twin, move in a slightly different direction with their follow-up, JACKPOT. The title of the film can be taken ironically, as JACKPOT documents the career path of Sunny Holiday (Jon Gries), who left his wife (Daryl Hannah) and daughter to tour as a karaoke singer. His manager, Les (Garrett Morris of Saturday Night Live fame), tries to keep Sunny out of trouble (especially with women), but his career advice is frequently off the mark. A singer of minimal talent, Sunny manages to win very few contests. JACKPOT is an odd but engaging comedy. The Polish brothers have even cast the film eccentrically with talented 1970s and 1980s TV stars. In addition to Morris are Peggy Lipton, Crystal Bernard, Mac Davis, and Anthony Edwards. Playing two losers chasing an impossible dream, Gries and Morris have an entertaining rapport. JACKPOT was shot on a Sony 24P digital video camera (also used to shoot STAR WARS: EPISODE 2), and the film looks great, capturing the grimy details of a low-budget life on the road.
