Luck contains all the warmth and ingenuity that was nowhere to be found in Pixar’s own recent Lightyear, and has the attitude – if not always the supreme clarity and craftsmanship – of his old studio’s vintage productions. Read full review

Despite having an emotional arc that becomes evident within its first few minutes, Luck registers as original enough conceptually to maintain one’s interest as we follow the formulaic structure of its screenplay. The resulting fable feels like a typical case of “you’ve definitely seen this before, but not precisely in this manner.” Read full review

Luck offers fresh ideas; its only misfortune is to present its gifts in recycled wrapping. Read full review

Barry Hertz

Aug 3, 2022

Burdened with a needlessly complex conceit, flat character design, limp jokes, and a soundtrack completely absent a single ear-worm (unless you count an overreliance on Madonna’s Lucky Star), Luck feels dredged from the bottom of Pixar’s few lows (Cars comes to mind) than plucked from its many highs (Inside Out would like a word).

The enchanting setting becomes a backdrop to action that’s dispiritingly mundane. Read full review

Luck feels overthought and overwritten. There's a lithe, fun, bright, and much shorter movie in here somewhere. Read full review

Luck truly is best suited for small children with low standards. Older kids will be bored. Adults will find it especially dreary, even though there’s actually a relevant message in here about the merits of failure and the perils of lawnmower parenting, buried somewhere beneath all the sparkles and desperation.

Funny at times, good animation, and good voice acting, but overall shallow and meaningless, with not a lot of charm. Watch it if you want something to turn your brain off to.

It's more than fine if you don't dig too deep. It's colorful, eye-catching and entertaining as it can be.

I know I'm not the target audience for this children's movie but it was semi entertaining at times with a beautiful 4k HDR presentation marred by the basic screenplay and uninteresting, unchallenging plot. The characters felt very barebones and the quality of the voice cast was only decentI know I'm not the target audience for this children's movie but it was semi entertaining at times with a beautiful 4k HDR presentation marred by the basic screenplay and uninteresting, unchallenging plot.

Recycled crap. Same woman protagonist you see in every movie the past decade. Boring, cliched, mess with tired old Disney tropes.
