- 40The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerThe Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerGeneric and too self-indulgent, if energetic and occasionally funny, the film’s greatest attribute is by far co-star Crispin Glover, who steals the show as a deranged French-speaking assassin named Luc Chaltier.
- 40VarietyPeter DebrugeVarietyPeter DebrugeThe trouble is, apart from Glover’s unforgettably weird contribution, Lucky Day isn’t a particularly memorable offering. It’s enough to get Avary back in the game, one hopes, but considering his talent, this is hardly the film his fans have been waiting for.
- 30Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenLos Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenAs wannabe Tarantino misfires go, at least one can say that Avary, who in addition to sharing story credit on “Pulp Fiction” also contributed (uncredited) to “True Romance,” comes by the affectation more honestly than most.
- 10The New York TimesGlenn KennyThe New York TimesGlenn KennyIf you’re one of those people who believes the Tarantino of today still needs to “grow up,” this movie will provide an oblique but vivid insight into how much worse things might have been.
