Peter Debruge Variety The trouble is, apart from Glover's unforgettably weird contribution, "Lucky Day" isn't a particularly memorable offering. Oct 14, 2019 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times That fortunate feeling runs out early on in "Lucky Day," a thoroughly unappetizing serving of regurgitated "Pulp Fiction" flung out by Quentin Tarantino's early writing collaborator, Roger Avary. Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Barry Hertz Globe and Mail The film is crassly violent, inexcusably sexist, horribly racist, rampantly homophobic - and that's just Crispin Glover's character. Rated: 0/4 Oct 10, 2019 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse A movie with all the bits and pieces of the Tarantino classic but with a tenth of the impact. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 31, 2021 Full Review John Serba Decider The movie feels pointless, an exercise in cliches and snark. Aug 11, 2020 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue ... mostly an incoherent mess of testosterone-fueled clichés and disparate comic tones as it stumbles toward a predictable final showdown.

ToastRider Wild, unpredictable, and funny! The cast worked well together and the acting was great! Highly recommend if you want to see a fun take on the hitman chase movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/19 Full Review JS Fun movie! Plot was lacking, but had a solid cast. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/11/19 Full Review Carlos N Not good i do not recommend Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review Danna W Brendan Behan (The famous Irish playwright and poet; movie critics will probably need to look him up as famous, history-making 20th century literature and its authors are usually covered in university) once said that nobody ever erected a statue to a critic. Why would we? Get Lucky is not just bad, it's terrible with raisins in (Dorothy Parker). It's so bad it's fab. It's just so much insane and demonic fun. It out grosses Tarentino self-deifying histrionics (not very difficult), and it takes us back to the days of Sam Peckinpah, Terence Malick, Martin Scorcese, Albert Penn, George Romero, Robert Rodriguez, and Russ Meyer (Faster Pussycat Kill Kill). Get Lucky is a film to get out the popcorn, margeuritas, and bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers and do a total Mystery Theatre 2000 on its brainless ass. I'll say this for those in the cheap seats. It's not supposed to be high cinematic art. It's not even supposed to be worth paying to see. But. It's a night out with your gore-loving and screaming crazy friends with whom you go to late night bad sci-fi screenings. The bit parts are played so far over the top that the only way to bring them down is with anti-aircraft fire. Marc Decascos, is perfect bar-shoot out fodder with his outrrrrrrajus french accent. As DPO Sanchez, Clifton Collins leaves no foul language unspat. Luke Bracey and Nina Dobrev are the perfect "normal" patsies to the murderous psychos around them. They are perfect second bananas to the real star of the show, Crispin Glover leaves no scenery unchewed in his grande guignolesque (look it up) portrayal of the immortal assassin Luc. David Hewlett maxes out the creep factor of Derek, the lecherous gallery owner. Did they have fun acting in it? Hellz yeah. Did it die in the box office. Uh...duh. Will it be around as a cult classic for the next 20 years? I'll bet my tin-foil hat and television rabbit ears on that. So, loosen your suspenders. Pull the broomstick out of your hoity toity butt. Dress up as your favourite Animanaic (tm). Call your weirdest besties. Take a break and descend into the pointless and mad wackiness that is Get Lucky. Tell them Luc sent you... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/01/22 Full Review jelisije j A movie that you could tell that had a lot of passion that kept you entertained to how over the top and a bloated mess this movie was. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review tom m A swing and a miss. Don't bother. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
