Title: Lucky You
Post by: Sark79 on February 10, 2006, 04:10:31 PM
Has anyone seen any decent reviews for the new poker movie ' Lucky You'. It is about a young poker pro playing at his first W.S.O.P.

It is suppose to be out in April and has a pretty decent cast. Eric Bana as the main star, Robert Duvall and Drew Barrymore are supporting cast members.

I tried to get the book today at borders and Otakers.  They had never heard of it.

Thanks, I couldn't log onto the imdb site earlier. My computer is a difficult thing to figure out. Sometimes it works, other times it can't be bothered.

I noticed from using the above link, Daniel Negreanu and John Juanda are in this.

I saw a preview for this film ages ago. I believe it was mentioned on blonde, but then it seemed to disapear. It is good that it is finally being released.

Its not that bad. Ok its not rounders but its not as if we are swamped by poker films. Set your expectations low and its an enjoyable film.

Agreed, I watched it today and thought it was okay.

Its OK, its no rounders for sure, but moderately entertaining if there is nothing else on.

I'll have to watch this, so I can join in the condemnation of it.  There are a lot of bad films about, and I seem to watch a lot of them...
