 Hilarious February 6, 2005

This film is underrated and underappreciated. I've shown it to several friends and they thought it was great also.
Can't say enough about Lisa Kudrow in this film, every scene she's in, she steals. Michael Moore's last scene with Lisa Kudrow is classic. They did a great job! If you like a good, dark comedy, this film is for you!
This is Just Another One That Most People Don't get September 13, 2005

I don't know why this movie didn't do better, and why some reviews are ONE STAR reviews. It is certainly much better than ONE STAR. Nevertheless, I found this to be up with GET SHORTY, very dialogue driven movie, which I personally love.
Very funny moments, characters and story. Tim Roth, Michael Rapaport, Ed O'Neil, Bill Pullman and Michael Moore all add great funny performances. I generally don't like Travolta, but both this and GET SHORTY is the exception.
This, like 29th Street is an underrated movie that I think people had too high expectations and therefore the possible disaapointment. I laughed almost through the entire movie. What people will do for money!
 A TRAVOLTA LETDOWN November 5, 2000

Much has been said about Travolta's choice of film roles of late, and the criticism will continue after the premier of LUCKY NUMBERS. Travolta plays a weatherman in Harrisburg, Pa. who's side project snowmobile dealership is suffering due to the great weather in December. In an attempt to get himself out of financial hardship and live a lifestyle worthy of his local celebrity, he along with the lottery girl(Lisa Kudrow) and a local strip club owner (Tim Roth), hatch a plan to fix the Pa. Lottery. Needless to say, the plan's aftermath is hectic at best.There are some moments of worth in this film. Kudrow does a better than average job with her role as the money grubbing lotto girl who is not only sleeping with Travolta but the station manager as well. She is comically ruthless. Tim Roth is entertaining in his smaller part although he could have been used better. Michael Rappaport is the five star perfomer in this flick. Most of the belly laughts that this flick produces stem from his tough guy enforcer character. The real loss in this film is Travolta's character. The blame can not rest on Travolta. He does what he can, but the script lacks. His reluctant criminal persona is neither pitiful nor funny, both being necessary to pull this movie off. Overall the movie is a dark comedy that often is more dull than funny. A great cast suffers from a poor script, a lackluster plot, and an ending that is both anticlimatic and unbelievable. Being from the Harrisburg area, it was interesting to see a movie where I knew the locations and recognized the streets and scenery. In all fairness that may have added to my rating of this movie. Therefore, if you are not from central Pennsylvania you may only see this movie as a two star affair. Even Travolta fans will probably walk away dissapointed. Wait to rent this one, and I wouldnt recommend buying it.
 Again, What Was Travolta Thinking? January 15, 2001

Strike two for Travolta. After failing miserably with Battlefield Earth, the now desperate actor tries out Lucky Numbers. It is about a local weatherman that has to declare bankrupcy and then devises a scheme to win the lottery. The film co-stars Lisa Kudrow, Tim Roth, and Ed O'Neil. The movie just doesn't cut it. Usually Nora Ephron (You've Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, and Hanging Up) gives her audiences a fun romantic comedy that gives us a few laughs. This one on the other hand gives us no laughs and I actually turned it off half way through. I can't believe some of the movies that Hollywood makes anymore. Avoid at all costs.

Slightly vulgar, but apparently one of the best comedies America has ever seen since "Hot Shots" I reccomend this movie to anyone thirteen and above. It's got a great cast - Colin Mocrie, John Travolta, Lisa Kudrow, who else do you need? Trust me - you gotta see it to believe it!
