Lucky You

I was shocked to find out that around 10 years ago Curtis Hanson gave us one of my favorite movies ever made: LA Confidential, only to contribute something as poor as Lucky You into the current movie meat market. And Eric Roth who brought us Forrest Gump, writing this catastrophe, what is happening to the world!
This film was billed as a romantic comedy and even has Drew Barrymore staring in in it, what could possibly go wrong? Well, this entire movie felt like a poker tutorial. Eric Bana playing “Huck” was dreadful. I lost count how many times he was explaining the ins and outs of playing poker… to the camera!
I could go on and on about how bad this movie is, I wont bore you with too many details. Drew’s performance was incredibly lackluster, Bana was just trying to subliminally sell us something (im still not exactly sure what!) its only saving grace with the cast is that Robert Duvall does an OK job playing Hucks hard ass father.
Unless you are an avid poker fan, stay as far away from this movie as you can. I’m even reluctant to give it a 6, without Duvall, it’d have been a 4! 6/10
