The Lucky Ones on DVD


Jacket: "After suffering an injury in Iraq, Sgt. T.K. Poole (Michael Pena) is granted one-month leave. When a sudden blackout forces all flights out of New York to be canceled, Sgt. Fred Cheever (Tim Robbins) agrees to share a ride with T.K. and Pvt. Colee Dunn (Rachel McAdams), two fellow soldiers he's met on the flight back. What begins as a short visit home turns into a poignant journey of self-discovery..."

The quote that says it all: "Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times observed, "What makes "The Lucky Ones" so gratifying to me is anything but gravitas; these three characters are simply likable, warm, sincere and often funny. The performances are so good, they carry the film right along . . . I believe audiences will be moved by the characters. I was." [5]"
