What's It About: Centered around the national poker tournament, Huck (Eric Bana) is focused on winning the big jackpot but goes through a series of misfortunes that nearly cost him everything. The tournament puts him against his estranged father, who left his family to pursue gambling. Throughout the film there are various competitions between the two as they try to reconcile with the past. In the midst is Billie (Drew Barrymore) who tries to 'fix' Huck but comes up against major opposition. In the end Huck must learn how to play at his real life as well as ace his game on the poker tables.

Long Story Short: Lucky You tries to combine drama with a little romance and the intrigue of an intense poker match, but fails. To a large extent the movie was filled with long-drawn and boring scenes, the romance and chemistry was barely visible.

The Reel Lowdown: If you liked A Love Like This, you'll like this.
