This is a slow moving, cleverly written story about an elderly man convinced he has won a million dollar sweepstake.
Bruce Dern is flawless in his portrayal of lottery winner Woody Grant and Will Forte is both irritating and loveable as his brow-beaten son David.
As the title suggests, this is a film about small-town life in Nebraska and all the absurdities that that encapsulates. If you are looking for high adventure this is not the film for you, but if you are looking for good writing, realistic characters, and great performances, look no further.
This film is a fine balance between drama and comedy bringing just enough spark to the mundane to keep the journey intriguing. There are more than a few priceless moments in this film that are worth the price of admission, such as the compressor scene.
