And Curtis Hanson‘s Lucky You, an unquestionably half-decent poker movie, has, so far, a 20% Rotten Tomatoes rating with guys like the Hollywood Reporter‘s Kirk Honeycutt calling it “dull, dull, dull.” Wrong, wrong, wrong — it’s simply one of those films that chooses to stay with character and the reality of the setting and the story. I didn’t slump, nod off or shift in my seat once….it’s fine. The only two guys who seem to get this so far are the Arizona Star‘s Phil Vallarreal and Kevin Laforest of the Montreal Film Journal.
