Luck Reviews
Lacklustre and uninspiring.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 11, 2024
The super-polished [animation] style actually works for me…and possibly for the first time since Pixar’s early films. In a utopian world demarcated by luck, the polish sells the look. Luckiness should be slick and cool

The absolute star of the show is Jane Fonda, who is charming as ever as a Dragon who manages to be not only absolutely fabulous and stylish, but also incredibly human and beautifully flawed, often at the same time.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 25, 2023
In its heart, Luck does have something important to say. The film wants to teach children that bad luck is a learning experience and that they shouldn’t shut down when things go wrong. Challenges and problems are opportunities to adapt.

Luck is imperfect but still charming... [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 3, 2023
There is some good in Skydance Animation’s feature, but Luck‘s biggest problem is its lack of passion.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 15, 2022
A movie where uninspired ideas become the building blocks for more uninspired ideas, until the filmmakers have constructed an elaborate shrine to their own whimsical lore

Luck lacks that kick of wonder and imagination animation can achieve. And because it so closely resembles better films, Luck ends up looking like a bare bones knock off Disney movie.

I ran out of red string and wall space in trying to understand the details.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 21, 2022
Luck is family fun done right, even if it skews towards the lower end of the age spectrum in its appeal.

The enchanting story is bogged down by too many seemingly random shenanigans that become more of a distraction instead of fueling the protagonist’s story forward. LUCK has an endearing quality, but it could’ve been so much better overall.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 15, 2022
The entertaining animated comedy Luck is a G-rated version of Michael Schur’s profound and hilarious The Good Place...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 15, 2022
… somewhere between the lovechild of Monsters Inc (2001) and Inside Out (2015) only without the required emotional crescendo.
| Original Score: 11/20 | Aug 15, 2022
The makers of "Luck" ran out of luck when it came to casting actors voices to provide some spark to this sweet but average animated story.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Aug 14, 2022
A kids movie version of the kill scenes from the "Final Destination" horror movie franchise.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 13, 2022
While expectations may have been higher considering Lasseter's name is attached to the film, Luck is still a good film that tells a familiar story with its own original voice.
| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Aug 13, 2022
I can tell that there is some great potential and greater talents within [Skydance Animation]. It’s just than John Lasseter and Luck are not among them nor good examples of that.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Aug 12, 2022
It’s got a good heart, though, and means well, so it’s hard to want to rip it a new one.
| Aug 11, 2022
The first feature from Skydance Animation whisks viewers to a wonderful world of magical creatures, but it doesn’t know what to do once it gets there.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 10, 2022
It's also engaging enough to keep us entertained and leave us with a smile.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 10, 2022
