Movie Reviews

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - 8/10 by Duane DudekIf The Full Monty was a freshman fluke, Lucky Break is [Cattaneo] sophomore slump.
Jam! Movies - 8/10 by Jim SlotekThe intent is almost exactly the same [as The Full Monty]. All that's missing is the spontaneity, originality and delight.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertThe movie has a raffish charm and good-hearted characters, and like The Full Monty it makes good use of the desperation beneath the comedy.
Reel.com - 8/10 by Pam GradyIt is amusing, and that's all it needs to be.
New York Post - 8/10 by Lou LumenickSuffers from over-familiarity since hit-hungry British filmmakers have strip-mined the Monty formula mercilessly since 1997.
Greenwich Village Gazette - 7/10 by Eric LurioWell, this is definitely a disappointment.
Boxoffice Magazine - 7/10 by Chris WiegandLike The Full Monty, this is sure to raise audience's spirits and leave them singing long after the credits roll.
Reeling Reviews - 6/10 by Robin CliffordOverall the film feels like a low-budget TV pilot that could not find a buyer to play it on the tube.
SPLICEDWire - 6/10 by Rob BlackwelderEven if it ultimately disappoints, the picture does have about a matinee admission's worth of funny to keep it afloat.
Movie Eye - 5/10 by Frank OchiengWhatever satire Lucky Break was aiming for, it certainly got lost in the "soon-to-be-forgettable" section of the quirky rip-off prison romp pile. It's petty thievery like this that puts flimsy flicks like this behind bars
