Plot
[edit]The main characters of the film are Milan (Albert Čuba) and David Votrubek (Štěpán Kozub), who win the jackpot thanks to a lottery ticket, but for which they have to travel to Sazka's headquarters in Prague, which turns out to be a problem because they get lost on the way and eventually travel through Poland and Slovakia. On their heels are an incompetent policeman Robert (Robin Ferro) and unsuccessful actor Herbert (Vladimir Polák), who want to win the lottery for the mobster Král (Dušan Sitek).

Reception
[edit]The film received mostly average to below-average ratings from Czech film critics.
In his review for Aktuálně.cz, Kamil Fila states that the Three Tigers are a phenomenon with a large audience, but the chosen format is not a film, but "a collection of sketches that do not hold together".[6] In a review for the same periodical, Tomáš Stejskal states that in the film, Three Tigers lost the impact of its comedic scenes and that they do not find a way to make appropriate use of the aptly executed parodic passages.[7] In a review for ČT art, Jan Jaroš writes that the humor in the film "does not take into account that the construction of a short sketch differs from the construction of a full-length story, which should not be a mere sum of such sketches".[8]
The film was very successful on Czech Netflix beating with its ratings film such as The Gray Man or Carter.[9]
