Lucky Louie

Don't let the other reviews fool you. If this is a theater quality production, then I'm a world class pianist.

Actually, hold that thought. It is a theater quality produciton in a sense, but not a movie theater. Its acting reminded me of a youth theater play production: full of energy, but not very natural.

The writing is also quite unnatural at times, and some the characters seem unrealistic, partly I guess because the writers wanted to add some cheap jokes which I believe came at the expense of said characters believability. It feels like the movie doesn't know whether it wants to be funny or serious in many scenes, so it just ends up failing at both.

The overall plot is also underwhelming, and there were some strange choices including one point where the townspeople all get together to reenact the crime that is the focus of the movie, and there was really no sensible reason why they would decide to do that. The plot twists in the movie are either predictable or far-fetched, but mainly just uninteresting.

In short, I can't recommend this movie because of its poor acting, writing and overall plot.
