The Lucky Ones

A small film without ambition and without expensive patronage, but with a big heart, a skilful director and a trio of very likeable actors, who fortunately don’t hesitate to "waste their talents" in movies like this. The combination of comedy and drama is excellent, the American pathos is dealt with in the only right way: with humour and self-aware sarcasm, and the dialogues are juicy and don’t hinder the plot in any way. I was a bit sceptical about the longer runtime, but from the first minutes I was swept away by a wave of strangely positive mood, gradually replaced by sincere joy at what a treasure the great people on the screen have found in themselves and in their friendship. But I do see one flaw: Rachel McAdams is so gorgeous, cute, talented and attractive that I’m going to be in love with her for the rest of my life. Maybe fate will smile upon me and she will move with her guitar to Budějovice, who knows... :))) 4* and a great piece. (26/04/2014)
