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.

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...

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.

Commedia in stile Tarantiniano che offre alcuni spunti e passaggi divertenti, alternati ad altri abbastanza imbarazzanti e banali. Le conversazioni sono l'emblema della differenza di buona riuscita dei vari personaggi; buone quelle tra il protagonista e i suoi amici, compreso il poliziotto; terribili quelle che comprendono il killer, la moglie e la figlia. Il vantaggio di una durata ridotta permette comunque di non annoiarsi e di non rendere il progetto troppo ambizioso.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Variety

The trouble is, apart from Glover's unforgettably weird contribution, "Lucky Day" isn't a particularly memorable offering.

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.

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

A movie with all the bits and pieces of the Tarantino classic but with a tenth of the impact.

Rated: 2.5/5

The movie feels pointless, an exercise in cliches and snark.

Cinemalogue

... mostly an incoherent mess of testosterone-fueled clichés and disparate comic tones as it stumbles toward a predictable final showdown.
