Leave your thoughts about Pure Luck.
| Washington PostHal HinsonThe movie is pure hound, but you'll want to catch Short's every pixilated move. He almost made me wish that the picture would never end. |
| The Seattle TimesMichael UpchurchThis is Short's picture, and though he can do no wrong in it, he is not in a position to carry the whole thing. His fans will dutifully trek to it, laughing at his skill and wondering when Hollywood will finally do him justice. It's a hell of a good question. |
| The New York TimesCaryn JamesMartin Short can do anything, it seems, except find the right movies to star in. |
