| Poster with Kristen Wiig |
Now, let me just say this movie was...different. Alice Klieg (Kristen Wiig) is a hyper emotional person with borderline personality disorder. She idolizes Oprah Winfrey and buys lottery tickets constantly thinking she is a winner. Finally she wins the big lottery of $86 million dollars. She changes her life, stopping to take meds, cancelling appointments with her psychiatrist
Dr. Daryl Moffet (Tim Robbins) and starts to live in a casino. Does her life take a new meaning or is it just a fantasy ride until the walls of reality come crashing down?

| Kristen Wiig and Wes Bentley in Welcome to Me |
Ok, ok, ok. I tried to give you as little of the plot as possible because its fun when you go in blind. This movie left me with the impression of how great of an actress Kristen Wiig is. The movie doesn't have a tight story though. It starts out as its own thing but then falls apart in the middle. But the performances were fantastic. Wes Bentley stole the show with his couple of lines but other than that the whole movie is a showcase for Kristen Wiig's acting chops. I wanted to give this movie a 6 based on story but the performances make it worth while so I'll give it an 8. 8/10 it is.
