Lucky You is a 2007 drama directed by Curtis Hanson and starring Eric Bana, Drew Barrymore, and Robert Duvall. The film was shot on location in Las Vegas. The screenplay was by Hanson and Eric Roth, but the movie was partially inspired by the George Stevens 1970 movie The Only Game in Town. The website The-Numbers.com estimated this film's budget at $55 million and its worldwide gross revenue was $8.38 million, making it a box-office bomb - just like its 1970 inspiration. Set in 2003, Huck Cheever is a young and talented poker player in Las Vegas haunted by his relationship with his... estranged father, L.C. Cheever , a two-time World Series of Poker Champion. Huck is a regular in Vegas poker rooms but needs $10,000 to get a seat in the World Series of Poker Main Event. After a good night at the Bellagio hotel's poker room, Huck goes to a party and meets aspiring singer Billie Offer , who has just arrived in town. Billie's older sister Suzanne warns her that Huck is "hustle 10, commitment zero." Back at the Bellagio, Huck is doing well at the tables before L.C. returns to town from the South of France.
