Lucky Day
audience Reviews
, 41% Audience Score- Rating: 3 out of 5 starsThis movie is so dumb it’s good. Don’t go into this thinking you’re going to see high art but if you want to have brainless fun, this flick will do the trick. I wouldn’t pay to watch it but it’s a good hangover Sunday flick

- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsBrendan Behan (The famous Irish playwright and poet; movie critics will probably need to look him up as famous, history-making 20th century literature and its authors are usually covered in university) once said that nobody ever erected a statue to a critic. Why would we? Get Lucky is not just bad, it's terrible with raisins in (Dorothy Parker). It's so bad it's fab. It's just so much insane and demonic fun. It out grosses Tarentino self-deifying histrionics (not very difficult), and it takes us back to the days of Sam Peckinpah, Terence Malick, Martin Scorcese, Albert Penn, George Romero, Robert Rodriguez, and Russ Meyer (Faster Pussycat Kill Kill). Get Lucky is a film to get out the popcorn, margeuritas, and bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers and do a total Mystery Theatre 2000 on its brainless ass. I'll say this for those in the cheap seats. It's not supposed to be high cinematic art. It's not even supposed to be worth paying to see. But. It's a night out with your gore-loving and screaming crazy friends with whom you go to late night bad sci-fi screenings. The bit parts are played so far over the top that the only way to bring them down is with anti-aircraft fire. Marc Decascos, is perfect bar-shoot out fodder with his outrrrrrrajus french accent. As DPO Sanchez, Clifton Collins leaves no foul language unspat. Luke Bracey and Nina Dobrev are the perfect "normal" patsies to the murderous psychos around them. They are perfect second bananas to the real star of the show, Crispin Glover leaves no scenery unchewed in his grande guignolesque (look it up) portrayal of the immortal assassin Luc. David Hewlett maxes out the creep factor of Derek, the lecherous gallery owner. Did they have fun acting in it? Hellz yeah. Did it die in the box office. Uh...duh. Will it be around as a cult classic for the next 20 years? I'll bet my tin-foil hat and television rabbit ears on that. So, loosen your suspenders. Pull the broomstick out of your hoity toity butt. Dress up as your favourite Animanaic (tm). Call your weirdest besties. Take a break and descend into the pointless and mad wackiness that is Get Lucky. Tell them Luc sent you...
- Rating: 2 out of 5 starsA movie that you could tell that had a lot of passion that kept you entertained to how over the top and a bloated mess this movie was.
- Rating: 1.5 out of 5 starsA swing and a miss. Don't bother.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 starsCommedia in stile Tarantiniano che offre alcuni spunti e passaggi divertenti, alternati ad altri abbastanza imbarazzanti e banali. Le conversazioni sono l'emblema della differenza di buona riuscita dei vari personaggi; buone quelle tra il protagonista e i suoi amici, compreso il poliziotto; terribili quelle che comprendono il killer, la moglie e la figlia. Il vantaggio di una durata ridotta permette comunque di non annoiarsi e di non rendere il progetto troppo ambizioso.
- Rating: 2.5 out of 5 starsThe crazy frenchman is on a revenge streak and fresh-outta-jail is trying to protect his family. The movie has an identity crisis / like a dark action that can't decide if it wants to be funny.
- Rating: 1.5 out of 5 starsFast fwd to halfway through the movie to find out the hitman is after red. All interactions with the wife and kid are filler and unnecessary.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 starsThis movie is all over the map. It is a chaotic mess of violence, slapstick, sex, dumb facial hair, accents, and odd cars. Crispin Glover accent by way of French cartoon character and propensity for random acts of carnage in the style of Grand Guignol seem to operate in a different world than the rest of the film ...a low key effort of an ex-con on the day he gets out. I can't really recommend people watch it as 3/4 of it is crap but the other fourth is something special.
- Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsIt's got action, hot women, psychotic bad guys and humor. Not every movie has to be a stellar ground breaking masterpiece. This is entertaining.
