    Excellent Entertainment

    by Mothergomez

    I was expecting more of a war drama. This was more of a light drama even with the realities of returning from war, then crossing country stuck in a van with three strangers and how they come together helping each other over come their issues. Packed with plenty of OMG sceens you'll be hooked in the first 5 minutes. There's no bathroom break in this movie. You are sure to leave with a smile.

    The Lucky Ones

    by mrangel

    I thought it was going to be a boring movie, but it was actually excellent and with a very believable story. I was glad I went to see it. The acting is excellent - it's funny but at the same time realistic. I recommend it.

    The Lucky Ones - Friendship on the Road

    by redbisons

    The 3 leads are wonderful actors at the top of their game. The characters are people you want to be stuck in a van on the road with. A terrific, charming relationship movie. The film offers a subtle, nuanced look at war and the divide between "over there" and being back home. It is also a film about friendship, how friends are made, won and battled for.
