“The new film, Lucky You, is set to open across the country May 4th. Warner Brothers claims that it is “the first Hollywood film to capture the excitement and drama of the recent worldwide poker phenomenon.” In actuality, several films have tried to capitalize on the success of poker but have failed to become commercial hits.
Lucky You is directed by Curtis Hanson (8 Mile & LA Confidential) and stars Eric Bana, Robert Duvall and Drew Barrymore. The drama in the story seems to take place off the felt as Bana’s poker playing character falls in love with a Vegas singer (Barrymore) and struggles to emotionally deal with his poker legend father (Duvall). Don’t let that plotline fool you though, there also seems to be plenty of action on the felt as well.”
