Lucky You
I am searching for words in dictionary to write about this movie. Lucky you, written and directed by Curtis Hanson is fun, sentimental, strange and romantic. The movie is about a young poker player and the strange love he has for his dad. Eric bana is the lead character of the film followed by Drew Barrymore and Robert Duvall . Robert Duvall who has already won two pokers Championship is ready to fight against his own son for the third time. Even though there were less romantic scene between Eric bana and Drew Barrymore I loved watching it. I love the Scene when Eric bets with his friend for $10,000 for playing golf in three hours of time and when he losses the bet for crossing two seconds extra is well deployed in the movie. Back ground music is okay and script is extremely well organized. Overall I would give 3 stars for this wonderful poker subject.

Marley & Me

This movie is realistic and original. I could not give a single negative statement about this movie. The combination of Oscar winning director David Frankel , Golden globe winner Jennifer Aniston and Oscar nominee Owen Wilson has worked out dramatically well. The plot of the movie is just simple a couple plans hard for their life and when a dog enters their life they forget about everything. Both Owen Wilson and Jennifer Anniston have contributed to their role decently. The newspaper writers Owen Wilson and Jennifer Anniston moves to Florida after their wedding and they decides to start a new life along with newly adopted dog Marley. After having three babies along with Marley they couples have wonderful time and enjoy their life. The only bad thing about the movie is when the dog dies. I had tears in my eyes while watching the emotional scene. The movie clearly portrays the true love that exists between human beings and animals. I would blindly give 3 and half stars for this film.

Must Love Dogs

After getting a divorce from her husband Diane Lane finds it hard to get back in life. She works as a preschool teacher in the film. John Cusack who uses to design small boats has supported the film in a nice way. Characters like Elizabeth Perkins, Christopher Plummer and Dermot Mulroney have played their role extremely well. The story is about a forty-something preschool teacher who tries hard to forget her ex-husband and search online for dating men of her age. Diane’s father who is an old play boy according to the film is funny but notorious. Scenes when Diane dates male individuals are extremely good and director has well organized the script. The story deals with only five characters and there are few negative threads in the film. I personally feel that John Cusack role was not well utilized by the director. I would just give 2 and half stars for this film.

The Pursuit of Happyness

I was one of the audiences for this wonderful Will Smith’s poetry drama “The Pursuit of Happyness”. The director of the movie is sensational and his work is remarkable. The film stars Jaden Smith,Thandie Newton Brian Howe, James Karen and as I mentioned earlier Will Smith. Will Smith struggles after the break-up with his wife who is always interested in money and give less importance to family. After the split up Will Smith moves out of the house and finds hard to bring up his own kid. Finally after getting accepted for an internship at a stock broking firm the hero of our film gain some confidence in life. Scene were the father donates blood for a proper stay in a hotel in order to make his kid happy is pictured well. I could not find any false threads in the movie. It was too emotional, sentimental, heart-breaking and inspiring. Overall, this film is neither a romantic comedy or adventure or family-drama. The plot is bit different .If you want to watch a movie about father and son relationship then this film is perfect choice for you. This movie deserves 4/5 stars.
