Foremost among those worth feeling bad about in this tedious misfire is John Travolta, his head these days a round, pumpkin colored piata inside of wh ..

Up to a certain point this could be funny (it doesnt sound funny, but trust me).

Kudrow is the films true manic engine, and her ability to carry off perky amorality propels the preposterous plot forward.

Painfully lame and hamstrung by a viciously unfunny sense of humor, Lucky Numbers is a two steps backward return to the bad old days of the Travolta l ..

Pullman knows that theres nothing funnier on screen than watching a slow person trying to think quickly.
San Francisco Chronicle

Instead of becoming involved in the convoluted plot, we stand on the outside looking in, not laughing enough to make it all worthwhile.

Lucky Numbers isnt hurt by the formula story and benefits greatly from the talented cast.

Even the most mediocre lines sound funny coming out of her, and shes a tremendous asset to the film.

An overgrown bush of a picture, it is in bad need of pruning to let the best flowers have the light to bloom.

Theres something refreshing about the way it invites us to splash around in its little wading pool of amorality.

Its an admirable goal within the context of a horror film, but theres a fine line between ambitious and pretentious.

It proves to be a detached experience that, like Russ and Crystal, isnt much fun at all.

But it isnt long before unanticipated blunders begin to snowball.

Director Nora Ephron doesnt quite roll a seven here, but she still leaves the table a winner in this amusing tale of lottery players gone bad.

Hes a narcissistic jerk but one whos so corny and willing to please, that hes oddly enough an acceptable human being.
Dennis Schwartz Reviews

But overall, Lucky Numberss story seems forced and its characters lack human qualities, seeming more like cartoons than real people.

Looks like your basic formulaic undertaking, but its got a lovely subversive edge to it.

Russ Richards and Crystal Latroy are so primally empty that they never become interesting.

a black comedy that would have been much funnier and edgier if it hadnt been softened up to accomodate a star of Travoltas magnitude.

When the scam doesnt go over well, Russ opts for the next best thing: rigging the lottery.

Too bad the script couldnt smart its way out of a wet paper bag of play money. Oh yeah, and its not funny. Not once.

Despite those drawbacks, Lucky Numbers is filled with enough laughs (theres an amazing visual gag involving a semi truck) and good performances that i ..

Its hard to squeeze laughs out of such material, though the talented actors give it their best effort.
