Lucky Them

Toni Collette is so incredibly miscast that it’s hard to watch. She just is not the quirky offbeat sexy music critic and makes this entire formulaic boring romcom even worse than it has to be. It’s watchable but that’s about it.

I loved this movie…it made me realize holding on to what never was, doesn't allow for what can be.

What a lovely and heartwarming film. WATCH THIS IMMEDIATELY.

Another Saturday night searching through 500+ channels and coming up empty. Then went to On Demand and found this gem. Loved the characters, setting, and music. Congrats to the Newmans. Paul would be (is) proud.

LUCKY THEM is alot of fun. We have all lived Ellie's life in some way, shape or form. Toni Collette and Thomas Haden Church are astonishing! This is a movie that stays with you for a long long time.

Loved this movie. Great chemistry between Toni Collette & Thomas Hayden Church! Beautifully set in Seattle, and features original music by actor Ryan Eggold. So wonderful Joanne Woodward & Paul Newman helped make this movie possible.

I wish I could shout it from the roof tops! You will be doing yourself a favor in seeing it. It stays with you in the best way long after the film is over. Pure magic.

This movie will slide under the radar for a lot of people. Beyond an exceptional soundtrack, this movie makes a simple indie film work you through a full story for a significant payoff in the end. People who don't like this movie have ears that don't like good music. Thomas Hayden Church is exceptional throughout.

Schmaltz. This is schmaltz. Collette’s worst acting - very amateurish. Starts out with some depth but very quickly becomes shallow/ predictable and ordinary/trite. Disappointing. Simply put - this is not a smart film or an artistic film. It is generic, flimsy formulaic fluff disguised as “indie”. Too bad, even though I needed to kill an hour and wasn’t looking for a masterpiece, I would rather not have seen these characters that I usually respect play such low-rent roles in such a flimsy film. I will now have to try to forget having seen her bow down to this before I’ll watch Collette in another film. Or maybe she really can’t act and this is the first director who was unable to disguise her poor acting skills.

Eh…That’s all.
