Colin Hanks and Ari Graynor in Lucky (2011)
Ben's obsession with Lucy leads him down a dark path, as he begins murdering women who remind him of her. But when he wins the lottery -- courtesy of a ticket that belonged to one of his victims -- the pair are united in marriage. Despite the odds (and due to Lucy's love of money), the couple begins working together to protect Ben's secret.

    Featured review

    The worst film I've seen since 'Santa Clause Conquers the Martians'...

    Just wasted 103 minutes of my life and I'm afraid there's no way of getting back those precious minutes. Two hours ago I was in a good mood- now I feel like everything is pointless...

    This attempt at comedy, or black comedy, fails miserably and completely.

    Seriously, it's awful. In pretty much every way. If you are reading this because you are thinking of watching it, do something else. Honestly, I'm helping you.

    To say it's like made-for-TV-movies is an insult to made-for-TV-movies.

    I'm going to cheer myself up by spending another 103 minutes watching some shopping channel in a foreign language that I don't understand.

    • Trivia
      Colin Hanks also played a serial killer in season 6 of "Dexter"
    • Goofs
      When Grace finds the 2nd check and opens the envelope the check is correctly made payable to Benjamin Keller, however the 'Authorized Signature' is also Ben's name (signature) (which also looks like a handwriting font as the 2 L's and E's in Keller are exactly the same)
    • Quotes

      Grace: You seem like such nice people. Such nice people!

      Ben Keller: We're still nice people, Grace, but we're also in love. And love's kinda scary. I'm starting to realize that now.
