Plot: A professional poker player whose astounding luck at the table fails to translate into his lonesome love life attempts to win the World Series of Poker while simultaneously earning the affections of a beautiful Las Vegas singer in a high-stakes emotional drama from L.A. Confidential director Curtis Hanson and Munich screenwriter Eric Roth. When his personal problems threaten to distract him from what could be his biggest win ever, seasoned poker pro Huck Cheever (Eric Bana) finds comfort in the company of singer Billie Offer (Drew Barrymore). Upon preparing for the biggest card game in the country, however, Huck soon realizes that his problems have only just begun when he finds that his opponent at the table will be none other than his estranged father, L.C. (Robert Duvall), a poker legend whose mythical reputation makes him a more than worthy opponent for his troubled son. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Really enjoyed the plot & the acting was superb. The story kept me guessing right up the end! There were no slow spots in this film, it was very entertaining.

The movie was saved by some FLEETING captures of my fellow Poker players!
(Outside of Duvall, Berrymore shined brightest.)

An well acted movie with an okay script. The story line lacked umph enough for it to be a break out movie.It was a nice movie for entertainment purpose though. A little bit of language but nothing too bad! (that's probably why it didn't make it in hollywood!)

A man obsessed with beating his father in poker is introduced to a woman who makes him THINK about the life he is living and how he is living it.

Lucky You If You Have Low Expectations
Added 1/14/2009

Lucky You is the story of a chance meeting between two strangers who obviously feel a connection (Eric Bana and Drew Berrymore). Seems like a recipe for success, doesn't it? Now figure in that boy is an obsessive poker player, willing to steal money from the girl he loves, bets on everything from miniature golf to living in a bathroom at the Aladdin casino, and has serious "daddy" issues. Girl is from a small town, so more than a little naive and is living with her Vegas veteran sister, played by Debra Messing. Where to even begin? The script was over extended and the film was almost unbearable to watch with a run time of two hours and fifteen minutes. Remarkably in this time there is not one character that is developed enough to make the viewer actually care about them. The film doesn't even serve as a good chick flick or rainy day watch. It's too bad that the script never seems to have made it to an editing board, with a little character development, script detailing, and storyline improvement the all-star cast may have had a chance. If you're looking for a Vegas themed movie worth viewing check out Leaving Las Vegas or 21, but leave Lucky You as a last resort.
