Lucky You

Notable mainly for numerous cameos of well known poker pros from Doyle Brunson to Jennifer Harman to Sammy Farha, Lucky You means well, but the by-the-numbers story of the self-destructive poker pro with daddy issues who finds love on his way to the World Series of Poker, never quite catches fire. The feeble WSOP scene near the end is weak, and conveys none of the flavor of either the ESPN broadcasts or the actual event. Check out the touching scene where the hero (played by post-Hulk Eric Bana) knocks Jennifer Harman out of a tournament. The look in her eyes almost broke my heart.
