"Lucky Numbers" is one of those botched criminal activity films where one thing goes wrong right after the other; only these culprits are more regular-person-esque and less bad-guy-like (a smiley, but dim weatherman and a bubbly, but cruel lotto girl for starters.)

Unfortunately, this cute chain of mishaps has little to tie together. There's no emotion arc and for a comedy, there's only a handful of good laughs. Still the acting is awesome, Travolta and Kudrow rock; and the somewhat amusing chain is directed well.

The end result ... a film that would make a fine watch on TV if there were nothing else to do, but at the theater ... just can't fill the big screen.
