Luck

The beginning of the movie felt like your common flat children's movie. Which didn't having anything for adult to watch and enjoy. The second part adding more depth and in the end and have lessons for adults and children. I felt better about myself, after watching.

A simple and rather childish story about an unlucky lady, trying to make things better for others.

With a good emotional core and a catchy song that came out of nowhere, the movie helps pass the time while being visually stunning. From Architecture, to character design and models.. to lively luck-related cat animations, and unlucky-girl moments (the best part of the movie).

But I must say, I was quite disappointed at the stiffness and lack of good facial expressions.. specially during the delivery of emotional lines! It's like the models don't move, and just their mouths were articulated and animated. Something you wouldn't see in something like Turning Red, where it might even go overboard! It is THAT added and "unnecessary" energy that this movie lacks and normally makes watching an animated movie so fun.

Does not fail to entertain and pass the time, but it doesn't linger.

A really enjoyable film for both adults and children. Lots of funny moments but also many heart warming moments just what you want from a great animation.

I thought the first act was good. The main character is very likeable and relatable. An orphan that grew out of an orphanage and cast into the cold adult world. The story had me hooked. The comedy with Murply's law is extremely relatable lol. Unfortunately, the film seemed to lose its way into a convoluted mess by the second half. The main thesis could still be understood, that of making your own way through life instead of being a victim of circumstances. But they complicated the whole good luck, bad luck screenplay too much that I think children will get lost in it too.

The animations are top notch even if it has a Disney princess vibe to it. I noticed little things like the water droplets falling on the puddles on the New York City streets in the background as the animated characters performed their roles. I think the animators did a fab job with details. It was just the screenplay later in the film was made unnecessary complicated and convuluted.

Not often can I find a movie that both my daughter and I can enjoy. This movie was enjoyable for both of us and that is huge. Between a funny unicorn and a black cat done by one of my fave actors, Simon Pegg, I find this enjoyable enough to watch more than once (which all parents know is the hallmark of a true movie winner). She likes it and I enjoy it enough to watch it with her. And as someone who leans heavily into the bad luck column I can relate to Sam.
