Winter 1988. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania is Russ Richard's oyster, there where he is the popular weatherman for WTPA Channel 6 News. That popularity allows him many perks in the city, especially at his local Denny's. Things start to go off the rails for him as this winter is unseasonably warm and not white, meaning that no one is buying from his snowmobile dealership, and none of his usual sources are willing to advance him any money to tide him over this rough business patch. In turning to Gig, a slightly shady acquaintance who operates a strip club and bar, Russ decides to turn to illegal activities to get the money he needs. After one failed attempt at that criminal life which has its own negative consequences, Russ instead decides on a lottery scam, his partners in crime being Gig, and Crystal Latroy, Russ' colleague at WTPA as the Pennsylvania Lucky Six Lottery girl - the lottery numbers which are drawn live on air during WTPA's supper hour news - and his sometime lover. Crystal is also sleeping with her and Russ' married boss, WTPA manager Dick Simmons, in an effort to get ahead in the world. Russ, Gig and Crystal are able to devise a plan to win the next jackpot, worth $6.4 million. As they enact the plan, which requires the assistance from a few others, the plan also potentially starts to go off the rails as those in the know and those who think that they know something about the fraud want what they believe is their fair share which, if Russ would agree, would get him further in the hole than he was before going into the venture. But as things get more and more dangerous and potentially lethal, Russ, Crystal and Gig begin to have diverging views on how to get out from the increasing mess based on their own tolerance of the risk for the potential reward.
Leave your thoughts about Lucky Numbers.
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyThis invitation to look down upon the stupidity of numskulls is one that should be declined as swiftly as a call to poke fun at Special Olympians. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleWhen Travolta plays, everybody has a good time. |
| Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)Jeffrey WesthoffLucky Numbers" builds from a shaky first act and actually gets funnier as the tone gets darker. |
| New TimesLuke Y. ThompsonAdam Resnick's script is flat, failing to provide a sense of escalating tension or much humor, and relying primarily on endless profanity for cheap laughs. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonA comedy of bad manners with many punchy moments and many irritatingly glib ones. |
| Baltimore SunCheryl Lu-Lien TanEphron's attempt at dark humor isn't a complete payoff overall in Lucky Numbers, but it doesn't fail either. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergThe colorful cast saves Travolta's hide this time around. |
| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkineNothing seems to ring true in this formulaic story. |
| Reel.comPam GradyTaking a chance on Lucky Number is a lot like playing the actual lottery. You might enjoy it, but the odds are against you. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelSue PiermanBits and pieces of it are clever and entertaining, true enough. But not enough to make it a certified hit. |
