A Decent, Entertaining if Not Great Movie
06 December 2008
"Lucky You" is simply a nice romantic date movie without the thrills and complexity nor gimmicky twists that usually occur in the genre. It avoids the obvious stereotypes and plots and focus’ not on the game of poker but on the personalities, the feelings, impressions of the game. There isn't anything deep here, the storyline’s pretty basic with a soft ending rather than a dramatic ending. For some, the absence of a lot of poker strategy and screen time on the plays can be a problem. For others however, the mindlessness of it and the romance, the moral story of it is clearly presented and becomes enjoyable entertainment.
