Originally planned for
2006, Lucky You
has ended up on Warner Bros' 2007 preview. I guess better late than never,
and it does give Drew Barrymore another film to throw on her 2007 portfolio.
Movie Stills: Lucky You
In the world of high-stakes poker, Huck Cheever
(Eric Bana) is a blaster—a player who goes all out, all the time.
But in his personal relationships, Huck plays it tight, expertly avoiding
emotional commitments and long-term expectations. When Huck sets out to
win the main event of the 2003 World Series of Poker—and the affections
of Billie Offer (Drew Barrymore), a young singer from Bakersfield—there
is one significant obstacle in his path: his anger toward his father, L.C.
Cheever (Robert Duvall), the poker legend who abandoned Huck's mother years
ago. As these two rivals progress toward a final showdown at the poker table,
Huck learns that to win in the games of life and poker, he must try to play
cards the way he has been living his life and live his life the way he has
been playing cards.

As you may have noticed, a couple 'pro' card players do make appearances
in this film. I guess they should, since it is their 'sport'.
Lucky You opens to theatres on March 16th, 2007.
