Critics Consensus

Lucky Them may not quite live up to Toni Collette's bravura starring performance, but it's certainly elevated by it.

4/5
"Lucky Them" isn't a great film, all told, but thanks to the good-natured performances and the general vibe, it's an immensely enjoyable one. Go to Full Review Jake Wilson Sydney Morning Herald Mar 12, 2015
3/5
A study of the perils of nostalgia, Megan Griffiths' Lucky Them itself comes off as a throwback to an earlier era of low-key, whimsical US independent cinema. This is not a bad thing, considering the talents of the cast. Go to Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald Mar 12, 2015
3/5
The plot executes an impressive twist at the end and Collette makes such a swashbuckler out of Ellie that you're inclined to indulge her in whatever she chooses to do. Go to Full Review Victoria Luxford Radio Times Nov 3, 2020

Melissa K. @fluffebee Dec 11, 2025 It was ok, loved the WA vibes, there were a few funny one liners, and I adored Thomas Haden Church. The main character’s stupidity and addiction to boy toys was unbelievable and then everything got wrapped with a nice bow at the end. Great music tho See more annette Z @RT27888167 May 28, 2024 -- very intresting . Thursday they know your coming! your simply not available. your going home. thanks j See more KB B @Okbullard Feb 7, 2024 It was pretty entertaining but was a bit long. I'd never want to watch it again. See more Alec B @Alec97 Dec 13, 2023 There are a lot of clichés present here, but thankfully the film knocks most of them down in the end to ensure it's main character doesn't have too happy of an ending. Collette's charming as ever and Haden Church gives one of his weirder performances (which I do mean as a compliment). See more Shari H @RT68167224 Apr 8, 2023 Fun movie. Not exquisite but good. See more May 23, 2021 horrific screenplay about a self-centered, slutty, immature, alcoholic, sexaholic, shallow, morally bankrupt woman who uses everyone around her. Has some very good actors, but they could not possibly save this trashy movie. See more Read all reviews
