Luck
{4.5/5} “That’s one of the benefits of bad luck. It teaches you to pivot.”
Luck, released in 2022
Sam has had bad luck all her life. She lived at an orphanage and was never adopted, and now she has to move out because she’s 18. When she feeds a cat, the cat leaves behind a penny. Her luck turns around instantly — her toast always falls jam side up. But then she accidentally flushes the penny down the toilet. When she sees the cat again, she finds out that he can talk — and he’s from the Land of Luck.
This is an animated movie with a very nice depiction of a fantasy world.
I like the premise, and the Land of Luck is a delightful place.
There’s a fair amount of slapstick, but it makes logical sense due to the story.
Stars the voices of Whoopi Goldberg, Jane Fonda, and Simon Pegg. Directed by Peggy Holmes (Secret of the Wings). The playful music is by John Debney.
