'Luck,' starring Eva Noblezada and Simon Pegg, is a convoluted mess that lacks magic.
For several decades, there were few people as integral to the future of animation as John Lasseter. As one of the founding members of Pixar, he helped make the studio one of the most beloved and revered animation teams in the world, directed films like Toy Story and Cars, and assisted in making computer animation the next great step for the medium.
Luck follows Sam Greenfield , a foster child who has gone from place to place throughout her childhood, and now, at the age of 18, has aged out of the system. Sam considers herself to be the unluckiest person in the world, and Luck makes it clear that nothing goes right for her, from not being able to make breakfast without incident, to not being able to find a forever family.
Sam finds a lucky penny, which immediately turns her luck around, but then accidentally drops it in the toilet, flushing away her rare good fortune and Eva’s hopes of finding her forever family.
But there’s also little joy and wonder in this supposedly magical Land of Luck, and even though the world continuously unravels itself, showing more layers that are supposed to create awe, each new layer is just full of more nonsense ideas that the film is asking the viewer to keep track of and remember. There are, again, occasional moments where the Pixar influence is clear, like when a Monsters Inc.
