Review of 29th Street

29th Street (1991)
10/10
Don't underestimate this little gem of a movie...
3 September 1999
This movie is so under-rated its incredible. Sure, on the face of it the story of a guy winning the lottery sounds old and tired--but this was the very FIRST New York lottery and the story has much more to do with his relationship with his father then with winning the lottery. LaPaglia is very good and Danny Aiello is just incredible in this film. I've seen this movie shown on TV as filler on a slow holiday weekend, which is a shame because people ignored it.

Go and do yourself a favor and watch it... But gee is it even on video, I don't know? Wait... I looked it up and it is on Laserdisc and VHS. No DVD, but hey...
