Geraldine's Fortune
Who says that winning is everthing...? They do!
Geraldine Liddle (Jane Curtin) is a mild mannered middle aged supermarket supervisor with one child, three sisters, an unemployed husband, and a small group of people she thinks are her friends. When Geraldine gets an opportunity to compete for two million dollars on the hit game show "Bring Home the Bacon", suddenly she becomes the center of everyone else's greed, ambition and jealousy. Even before she's answered her first skill-testing question on TV, Geraldine is besieged with pressure from friends and family to share her potential earnings, and help those around her achieve their dreams. All of this only serves to highlight the fact that Geraldine hasn't yet figured out dreams of her own.

This is just a fun story with some wacky characters. Set in a small town with not much going on and everyone knows everyone. It explores some of our basic human characteristics such as jealousy, rivalry and dysfunctional families. Good performance by Jane Curtain and the others.Fortune Found - fermat
Based on the play Les Belles Soeurs, this film takes us into the lives of sisters working at Sobeys as Geraldine gets picked to go on the game show. It takes place in a fictional town in New Brunswick and the whole town is rooting for Geraldine to win the big money. She is besieged with requests from her friends and family to help them when she wins.
This film is filled with gems, ranging from the quaint little town, its quirky characters, and Jane Curtain's superb performance as Geraldine. The film culminates with Geraldine getting on the game show while her sisters wait at home. A surprise ending makes sure everyone is kept guessing.
Check out this film. It's filled with small town humour, dark and light.
