Lucky's Treasure

This Christian based film is highly unlikely to get out from other than church audiences. Where it should stay because in the real world it would get hoots and catcalls.

Michael Ironside is the grouchy old grandfather who has become bitter and reclusive since losing his wife in a horseback riding accident. She was out looking for some treasure with her horse named Lucky when he threw her.

Ironside's son and daughter-in-law decide that their daughter should spend some time with him. So Delaney comes to live with grandpa over the summer.

And she gets caught up in the treasure hunt as do others. The treasure is one or more old gold pieces that an eccentric millionaire buried all over his property. Just one is face valued at $50,000.00. One of them wasn't exactly buried as we learn.

One of the subplots involves the sheriff's kid JT Neal getting involved with Delaney. Both are good Christian kids, but his old girlfriend Lauren Taylor schemes to break them up. Since Neal is such a goody goody in the film what could he possibly have seen in Taylor in the first place. Similarly Taylor is worried about such matters as her computer and her WiFi when she first comes to grandpa's. Her change is abrupt and without explanation.

Lucky's Treasure is not a well constructed story and the acting other than Ironside is not great. This one strictly for Christian audiences and their self contained world.

Evidently "family" is a euphemism for "Christian," as if the Christian religion has a monopoly on family. This movie is very contrived and not worth the $1.62 I paid at Redbox. The acting is really bad and the story is very predictable indicating a lack of imagination on the creator's part. Pure Flix Entertainment (stylized as PURE|FLIX) is an American independent Christian film and television studio, headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona. They appear to appose the Johnson Amendment and cater predominantly to the home-school population.

Excellent story that my wife and I both enjoyed. In a natural and easy way Christian principals and prayer came up but nothing excessive for the non-religious viewer. It had a good story that flowed well. A good romance, chick flick, family film that we enjoyed. Michael Ironside is a very well known actor who has about 77 movie credits over 40+ years. Don't know why others have to be so critical. This was a good story and deserves a lot of more credit than has been given to it.
