Lucky You

The movie is a good one - only if you understand the rules of poker and are interested in it. The movie has a few stars in it, such as Robert Downey Jr. and Grace from "Will & Grace" but don't be fooled- these characters have very small roles and Downey's screen time amounts for less than 5 minutes of the 2-hour long film. However I did enjoy that the movie has several poker stars in it - Daniel Negreanu, for instance. Overall the film is great for poker lovers, but those who don't know or do not play, beware.

It's not Rounders. But it's pretty good. Poker fans will love the cameos of the many poker pros. Eric Bana is convincing as a pro. The story is light, and mainly a romantic comedy. The film depicts the poker lifestyle accurately in that Huck (Bana) is pretty much broke all the time and evens out his losses with side bets, petty theft, stake horses, and pawn shops . Lucky You manages to depict poker with a lighthearted approach. The seedy side of gambling is avoided in favor of competitive skill and people reading. The poker is real, smart, and shows some PLO, lowball, stud that the pros play in addition to hold em. Non players will be able to follow. Robert Duvall has a convincing presence, but it is clear he doesn't play cards- he can't handle a deck or his chips, and he manages to SLOW ROLL another player in a key scene. If you are a Vegas or Poker fan, you'll love the movie while your girlfriend will like the love story.

Bad and boring no plot at all
