plot break down3
Before I start I would like to point out the budget for this film, it was $2million and it shows. But don't give up on it, it has an exellent performance by lead man Nicholas Lea of X-Files fame and Bobby Dawson & Mark Hamill don't do bad either. It has a very original script were two friends (Lea & Dawson) devise a plan to raffle a grand prize of a date with the most beutiful woman in the world, after a long hard search they find a "beutiful woman" but have trouble getting the world to accept the conclusion that she is the most beutiful woman they finaly reach the big day of the raffle and all goes wrong. I dont want to spoil the ending for you so get this film and see for yourself.

The Raffle - Like a good dessert: Light, Warm and Sweet3
Despite it's sexist-sounding premise, this movie is warm and often tender. The characters are endearing and the humor is gentle and good-hearted. Yes, there are a couple of long montages of T&A, but they are pretty harmless, and it's easy to fast forward through them (if like me, you find them boring.)People who like T&A shows will probably enjoy them.
In any case, with or without the montages, this is a light romantic comedy with a happy ending and a few good plot twists to keep you interested along the way. What could be better?

A must see for Nick Lea fans!3
I am a huge fan of Nick Lea so, even though this film is formulaic and silly, it's worth watching just for Nick. He's very good and *so* adorable! He shows a real talent for comedy and it was nice to see the lighter side of his incredible acting ability. I must admit that if Nick weren't in it, I would not buy it, but if you're a Nicknik, it'll be a great addition to your collection :)
