Plot:
A hotshot poker player tries to win a tournament in Vegas, but is fighting a losing battle with his personal problems.
Enjoyed the father son relationship between Duvall and Bana. Also enjoyed Barrymore's subdued supporting performance. When you factor in the interesting poker scenes and a satisfying ending this film rates a thumbs up .
Unlucky us for having to sit through this 2 hour long session of undecipharable Texas Hold'em Poker -- and the love connection is undecipherable too.
Maybe two and a half is being too kind. There's a few scenes that were well written and the rest...yeah. Pbbbbbt!
Am glad I didn't hit the theatres for this one or I'd have had to ask the ticket taker to kick my ass for money dropped on it.
Not a big Barrymore fan, but this movie was more Duval and Bana and actually as interesting - possibly MORE interesting than Rounders. I thought Rounders didn't cater to the "guy has to get the girl in the end" formula, while Lucky You does. It wouldn't be a Drew Barrymore movie is it didn't (1st 50 Dates, Fever Pitch, etc.).
The script for this movie was likely written sometime between 1983-1987. The only thing distinguishing this movie from a film made in the mid-80s was its lack of neon, high tops, swatch watches, big hair, and the song "Highway to the Danger Zone." It was moderately entertaining, nonetheless.
