Recommandations

San Francisco Chronicle
When Travolta plays, everybody has a good time. - 63
Baltimore Sun
Ephron's attempt at dark humor isn't a complete payoff overall in Lucky Numbers, but it doesn't fail either. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
The plot becomes a juggling act just when it should be a sprint. And there's another problem: Is it intended as a comedy, or not? - 50
New York Daily News
The characters she (Ephron) invents are not very interesting, and aside from the always reliable Travolta, the performances are uniformly aligned. - 50
Washington Post
At times, it's downright nasty; and that's when I like it best. - 30
Film.com
Nasty, regularly amusing black comedy. - 25
Entertainment Weekly
The laughs are few in this inert, ungenerous comedy. - 20
Time
Occasionally funny but mostly desperate, small-minded and uncompelling.
