Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

jb-307 A review from mattymatt4ever from Jersey City isn't helpful in reviewing Lucky Numbers. Matty gives it a 7 while the average voter gives it a 4.9.It isn't a bad film, but shallow. Definitely below average. So the average around 4.9 is maybe more appropriate than a higher number; certainly 7 is 'way beyond the range.What can you expect of a film that has Michael Moore in it. That alone knocks it down at least two full points.You get what you pay for, so don't pay any money for this one. See it free, and even then you are spending your precious time, more than enough payment. Better yet, avoid ALL movies associated with Michael Moore.

fedor8 Well, well, well...Many people were curious what would be Travolta's follow-up stinker to his previous MEGA-stinker, "Battlefield Earth: The Saga Of A Dumb Hollywood Scientologist". And he didn't disappoint: "Lucky Numbers" is a piece of crap, not quite the kind of highly enjoyable garbage like that little intellectual exercise written by "Elron" Hubbard, but nevertheless trash of the highest order. Not to be enjoyed in any way, but marveled.1: the movie was utterly unfunny. 2: it was supposed to be a comedy. 1 + 2 = an embarrassment to all involved, to the viewer and to the maker of this crap.The plot is supposedly based on true events, yet so much in this movie smells of phoniness. It lacks realism. Besides, any film that has Michael Moore (a bad propaganda-movie maker and even worse actor and director) in its list of cast members can't have much chance of being quality stuff.Having realized after the first 10 minutes that this movie is going to be relentless in its pursuit of unfunniness, I was half-hoping that Travolta would once again introduce the concept of "leverage" into the plot. (Leverage was an essential tool used by aliens in "B.E.", riveting stuff, I assure you.) I thought maybe John's character could try to find out what Roth's character likes to eat and send him on a quest for rat - as happened in the afore-mentioned bomb.Forget his movies for a second if you can - and something tells me that LN is easy to forget (or at least advisable). The only thing I want to know now is how such a brilliant mind, such as Travolta undoubtedly has, can learn to fly an airplane? Is he an idiot savant? Or is learning to fly much easier than I thought? (MUCH easier.) Dear John, go back to your plans of making a sequel to your wonderfully inept "Battlefield Earth" saga. All us fans of that Edwoodsian mega-flop are praying (even though I'm an atheist!) that you make that follow-up stinker - and you promised you would!

Rick Blaine Adam Resnick? Fresh off a Pulitzer Prize perhaps? Hardly. Do not rent or see this movie. Just do not do it. It is the most totally uninspired, totally worthless piece of tripe to rub off the hands of Nora Ephron ever.And Nora? Nora! Nora! What do you think you're doing? Only making money, bringing home a paycheck? OK, fair enough - but is the best you can do? Really? No one believes you, Nora. Harry/Sally and then Seattle - and since then? Exactly. A two hit wonder? DUH.There's no risk of plot spoilers here because there's nothing to spoil. Travolta, Kudrow, Michael Moore????? Ed O'Neill, Bill Pullman encoring his performance as Daryl Zero and absolutely nothing more, a cast of thousands and a waste of ammo.According to the IMDb this turkey cost 65 cool ones to make and only made back ten of them. That's about as unlucky numbers as you can get.It's a shame the IMDb don't allow a user rating of zero because a '1' implies a movie has at least some value, and this one has nothing, absolutely nothing.Sit down, heck why worry about a premise, just write stuff as it doesn't come to you, make it up as you go along, introduce dei ex machina like a swarm of locusts - who cares?The losers who backed this movie care. They're not likely to put their money on Resnick or Ephron ever again. Right move if they do it. You do the right thing too: see something else. Anything. It can't get this bad. The odds are against it. Does it matter this is 'based' on a real life story? 'Hey sorry the movie sucked but did you know it's based/inspired on a real life story?' Whack!

Jessica Carvalho I was surprised to notice how many famous personalities are in this film! To start Lisa Kudrow and Jonh Travolta, but also Bill Pullman,Ed O'Neill,Daryl Mitchell and even Michael Moore! (this last one was really a surprise to me, I could not imagine Michael Moore as an actor!) The soundtrack is also great. (Queen rules!)The year is 1988.The weatherman, Russ Richards (Jonh Travolta)is broke,since he's borrowed heavily to open a snowmobile dealership. But he has a big problem: The temperature is not helping, and he didn't sell any snowmobile. One day his pal Gig,owner of a strip tease club, advises him to run an insurance scam. But it failed, and Russ only get more problems, specially with Dale, the guy contracted to destroy Russ's store. The funniest thing is that Russ is getting more and more problems,specially after he makes a deal with Crystal, the woman that works in the lottery and TV.
