In the world of high-stakes poker, Huck Cheever (Eric Bana) is a blaster—a player who goes all out, all the time. But in his personal relationships, Huck plays it tight, expertly avoiding emotional commitments and long-term expectations. When Huck sets out to win the main event of the 2003 World Series of Poker—and the affections of Billie Offer (Drew Barrymore), a young singer from Bakersfield—there is one significant obstacle in his path: his anger toward his father, L.C. Cheever (Robert Duvall), the poker legend who abandoned Huck's mother years ago. As these two rivals progress toward a final showdown at the poker table, Huck learns that to win in the games of life and poker, he must try to play cards the way he has been living his life and live his life the way he has been playing cards. — More here

`Lucky You‘ plays obvious hand
By DAVID GERMAIN,
Associated Press
"Lucky You" really is that easy to read. You know all the tells well in advance, and the filmmakers never ante up with much more than a superficial emotional connection to the characters.

By Lisa Schwarzbaum
Entertainment Weekly
Lucky You wagers that the strategies and insider vocabulary of high-stakes poker are sexy enough to engross even a card-novice moviegoer. Don't bet on it — advice that comes from a novice delighted with the table action in Casino Royale and Ocean's Eleven.
