LUCKY TO BE ALIVE

Movie: The Lucky Ones
Jan's Rating: 8
Time: 115 Minutes

Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie, my movie buddy, got free tickets to a sneak preview of the movie "The Lucky Ones", which we went to see last night. It stars Tim Robbins, Rachel McAdams and Michael Pena as three soldiers on a 30-day leave from Iraq who are thrown together by fate and are trying to get to their respective homes in the United States - Tim to his wife and son - Rachel to a dead soldier's family, and Michael to his fiance. What happens along the way is both sad and hilarious. Rachel McAdams' personality reminds me a lot of Ellen Page (Juno) and she is the one who makes this movie worth seeing. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
