	Author	Review
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"Roger Avary’s new movie doesn’t add up to much more than scenes of breathtaking violence sprinkled with tasteless sexual humor."	NEG
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times	"As wannabe Tarantino misfires go, at least one can say that Avary (...) comes by the affectation more honestly than most."	NEG
Canada	Barry Hertz The Globe and Mail	"One of the worst movies of the year (...) It’s a hateful film itself, a childish temper tantrum of a movie, screeching and uncontrollable."	NEG
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"Generic and too self-indulgent, if energetic and occasionally funny, the film’s greatest attribute is by far co-star Crispin Glover"	NEU
Canada	Norman Wilner Now Toronto	"[It] feels like it was assembled out of old parts from the mid-90s (...) Avary pads his thin narrative with rambling stories, protracted confrontations and satire that just doesn’t land"	NEG
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Apart from Glover’s unforgettably weird contribution, 'Lucky Day' isn’t a particularly memorable offering"	NEG
United States	John Serba Decider	"[It] feels pointless, an exercise in cliches and snark."	NEG
