Glückstag

Lucky Day comes across as your standard detective mystery. They show a murder, an amateur sleuth and conveniently point the finger at a likely suspect. Ultimately it turns out that the person you least expect is the guilty party because the movie gave them close to no screen time. Lucky Day manages to keep the suspense and intrigue going till the end. I enjoyed the simplicity of this film, no bells and whistles. We get a cut and dried story. It is interesting and sticks to the facts to drive the whole story. The performances are average at best and while it is not super convincing, it gets the job done. I enjoyed it. If you are after a simple and easy to watch mystery then this will be good.

Awful, I dont' recommend, don't waste your time and money.

I'm not the kind of person who watches TV a lot, but I did incidentally caught this film two times on TV. The second time I saw it about two years have passed since my first viewing, but interestingly enough I recognized the film and even remembered the story and characters, which means the whole thing had something memorable.

I wouldn't like to give anything away not even the first minute of it, but basically if you catch this on TV, what you need to expect from this is a good murder mystery story, with a female protagonist, good characters, filled with occasional suspense. Don't expect originality though, and complicated puzzles, it's more of a typical murder mystery, but a good one.

If you want to release stress after a long and hard day at work, and this is on TV, then it's on for you.

As Rifftrax put it, "Do you find episodes of Matlock too fast-paced and interesting?" Then this tv movie is for you! If you enjoy hate-watching movies this is a great one for the entirely predictable plot, stilted acting, terrible background music and the same locations featured over and over.

I'm a fan of Mary Higgins Clark. She is a fantastic mystery novelist and I have all her books. I was expecting a great movie but was deceived. With such an excellent plot the director had all the elements to create a marvelous piece of art but the direction was pretty poor. Even the acting was just okay. Amanda Donahue is a first class actress but she seems to be out of place. The conversation held by the characters didn't sound true to me. I recommend Pretend you don't see her,another Mary Higgins Clark novel, which is of a better quality. The fact that this is made for television is not an excuse for not having made a good movie. Many of my favorite movies have been made for television and they are flawless. Example: Raid on Entebbe, which by the way, I want to buy and has not been made for sale.
