Lucky Break (2001)
6/10
A comedy in which the British are best at.
21 December 2002
This type of comedy seem to be the specialty of the Britain, where it is usually situated in some dilapidated environment with its main characters in some despaired situation. They eventually overcome whatever barriers that is set upon them by their own perseverance on what and desire to do what's right.

Lucky Break is one of them, this time, in a prison setting. But with the environment given, interaction with other characters are limited, which leads to a lot of scenes that feels redundant.

The prison scenario for the film is also pretty far fetched, with it almost being a school dorm as opposed to a secured environment. It seems that if it wasn't this way, most of the interactions between characters would not be able to take place.

But the ending is what these films are all about, giving the characters who has been dragging themselves in the gutter some hope, which is what they need in their circumstance, and eventually, prevail.
