LUCKY YOU
SYNOPSIS
Billie Offer (Drew Barrymore) is a young singer from
Bakersfield with more heart than talent. Huck
Cheever (Eric Bana) is a poker player whose
emotions at the table often undermine his
exceptional skill, especially when he is heads up
with his father, poker legend L.C. Cheever (Robert
Duvall). The one aptitude Billie and Huck seem to
share is a knack for reading people--the difference
is what they do with that gift. While Huck's instincts
enable him to take advantage of his opponents at
the poker table and expertly avoid both emotional
connections and long-term commitments in his
personal life, Billie uses her intuition to see the
emotional truth of those around her and sympathize
with their pain. When these two meet, the real game
begins. If Huck is going to win Billie's heart, he must
learn to play cards the way he has been living life
and live his life the way he has been playing cards.
