This movie stank so bad I had to open the windows. It was just awful. We couldn't figure out what big names like Drew Barrymore & Robert Duvall were doing in it! WOW. Bad story, bad acting, and I kept mistaking... Full review

The actors and acting was very good in this poker movie within the casinos of Las Vegas. If you like watching all the Texas Hold 'em shows on TV, and seeing Vegas background you will enjoy watching this movie. The ending,... Full review

Watching this movie was the equivalent of sitting through a church mass spoken in latin. I was so completely bored. It had a slow and horrendously predictable story line. The acting was cheesy and over exaggerated. We get it, he wants... Full review

This is a tough movie. Huck (Eric Bana) is a poker player, apparently a very good player. Luck is not falling his way right now and he is dragging down people close to him with him. Enter Billie (Drew Barrymore), she... Full review

I love Drew Barrymore, love poker, and yet this film was unbearable. Eric Bana character was played with a dredful earnestness and false intensity. I could go on, but I don't want this film to waste any more of my life.... Full review

Hence it's a pity the film doesn't deliver a winning hand. I have no idea what Robert Downey Jnr is doing in the film, but as always, is fun to watch. ... Full Review

Otherwise, Lucky You is drowsy and unsure of itself, bad news if you're a poker player or a movie. Billie is the movie's major problem. The whole movie, really, can't muster up much enthusiasm for itself, even managing to waste a Robert Downey Jr. ... Full Review

While slow paced and a little uneven, Lucky You is a highly satisfying drama, and another impressive step on the Hollywood ladder for Eric Bana.....Though misleadingly made to look like a romantic comedy by its advertising campaign, the equally misleadingly titled Lucky You is anything but..... ...
