A minor comedy, though a major delight.
It's what the Brits themselves might call fair to middling.
Lightly reflective and consistently entertaining, Lucky Break is an easy-to-take diversion.
Without the surprise, realism, audacity and upstart cheekiness -- pun intended -- that made "The Full Monty's" blue-collar strippers so irresistible.
This is mostly well-constructed fluff, which is all it seems intended to be.
Every porridgy inmate in this instantly forgettable romp warbles in the prison's amateur musical, and one of them demonstrates a rather extreme devotion to the tomatoes he grows in the on-site greenhouse.
