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.
Critics Sentiment
Huck teaches Billie how to play poker at Binion's Horseshoe
Roy's thugs throw Huck into his empty pool giving him black eye
The film drops significantly when Huck steals money from Billie's purse, making him irredeemable to audiences, then gradually recovers during the World Series tournament.
Lucky You receives mixed reception with critics praising the authentic poker scenes and strong performances from Duvall and Bana, but criticizing the unsympathetic protagonist and underdeveloped romance. The film improves significantly in its final act during the World Series tournament, though many felt the character development was contrived and the pacing too slow throughout.
