A Good Comedy

A very funny, laugh-out-loud movie. I checked Vincent D'Onofrio's credits after seeing this movie and realize I have seen him so many times in very good roles but this film really showcased his comedic talent. Good Luck told a good story about two totally different guys who really aren't so different after all. They captured the essence of how to give meaning back to your life, when you don't think things are going the way you thought they would. Don't miss this - it's one of the good ones out there! 3 out of 4.

Have People Ever Told You That Following Your Dreams Is A Waste Of Time, Or That Since You Have Major Set Backs In Your Life You Will Not Be Able To Amount To Anything. Well Good Luck Is Just The Movie To Prove People Who Misjudge How Wrong They Are.

I'm Not One To Give Away A Plot, So You All Will Just Have To Use A Little "Blind" Faith And Walk Or "Row" Yourself To Your Near By Video Rental Place And Rent Good Luck. It Is Well Worth The Rental Price.

And As LeVar Burton Puts It....But You Don't Have To Take My Word For It.

Hilarious!

Ole is a blind ex-NFL star. Bern is a crippled dentist who tutored Ole in math. And together, they're going to go white water rafting. That's right. It sounds ridiculous as hell, but it's a hysterically funny movie.

How this didn't get wide release, i'll never know. If they had cut out the brief nudity in the beginning, which doesn't seem to jive with the rest of the film, this probably would have brought in families with young children. Compare this to the drek that passes as comedy in Hollywood, and it really doesn't make much sense. Hines and D'Onofrio work better together than most duos i've ever seen.

Enjoyable

Recently I found this movie at the video store and being a Vincent D'Onofrio fan I decided to give it a chance. I found the movie very entertaining. The beginning is a little cheesy but I think it gets going fairly quickly. There was a scene or two that could have been chucked out the window. I thought Lem and Olee were two good characters and both actors portrait was excellent. A better job could have been made at hiding mikes and editing scenes. However, Vincent D'Onofrio was terrific and I also liked farmer John who played Wojo on Barney Miller.

An underrated, very entertaining film

I don't think this movie has been given enough exposure. Not only is it the first movie that I remember seeing D'Onofrio in, but Gregory Hines turns out a wonderful performance, too. It isn't a deep movie- it is light entertainment- but it does that well. And the comedic acting is great- especially by D'Onofrio! The "physical" comedy alone, had me rolling the first time I saw it...and a small role by an old Barney Miller favorite, was an added plus. Give it a shot, on a night when you don't want to think too much, and just want to laugh.

Goofs
In the scene when "Ole" throws his furniture through the window falling on top of the car parked on the street, we can see when he throws the sofa that there are a couple of policemen at the bottom of the shot moving away the traffic to do that scene.
