Plot

After Ben wins $36 million in the lottery, Lucy marries him, strictly for the cash. Just as she's beginning to have genuine feelings for him, however, Lucy discovers that he's a serial killer whose victims all resemble her. Still, though, there's no way she's walking away from those lottery checks, even if it means losing her mind and re-burying all the bodies.

Cast

Reception

The rating website MovieMavericks gave the film a 2 1/2 star rating saying ,"check out Lucky if you’re out of new things to watch, but there are plenty of other films to see first."[1] Kirk Honeycutt of Hollywood Reporter gave a negative review saying, "Director Gil Cates Jr. and his writing partner Kent Sublette, along with star Colin Hanks, attempt to recapture the spirit of those 1950s Ealing Studio comedies, but fail to get lucky. Nothing is bleaker than failed black comedy, which this is."[2]
