It is fun, though,   to see the younger Hanks play a murderer - it's like seeing Justin Bieber work blue. Read full review

Pitching uncertainly between cute and creepy, engaging and weird, this farcical story draws energy from a wickedly eccentric Ann-Margret, having a high old time as Ben's doting mother. Read full review

Alas, the complications don't arrive nearly quickly enough for the overlong and slow-paced Lucky to really cook. Read full review

It gets bogged down in slo-mo indie quirk when it should be faster, more in our face. Read full review

Lucky has its moments, but even with good, sometimes exceptional performances, its criminally vile characters are never likable enough to make you laugh at (or forgive) their wickedness. Read full review

Chuck Bowen

The film is a collection of consciously quirky indie tropes in place of any meaningful narrative, and you can practically see the notebook the filmmakers may have written in during a brainstorming session in a college screenwriting seminar. Read full review

Graynor is a muddle of kooky indie girlfriend and materialistic fortune hunter; Hanks has neither threat nor pathos at his command. Read full review
