Lucky 13 is a 2005 American romantic comedy film directed by Chris Hall and starring Brad Hunt and Harland Williams, with music by Debra Jo Rupp.[1] [2]
This film is about Zach Baker and his quest to go back through his past experiences with women so he will have the perfect date with his lifelong friend, Abbey. Abbey would be the thirteenth woman he has gone out with and he hopes she will be "Lucky 13".
The story revolves around Zach asking each woman what he did wrong in their relationship, so as to not make the same mistakes with Abbey. A recurring gag involves Zach throwing objects, representing his past affairs, into a lake. During the course of the film, Zach makes changes to his appearance and demeanor, trying to emulate the advice he gets from his past girlfriends—most of which is contradictory.
After much soul-searching, Zach decides to ask Abbey to marry him—a proposal that she turns down in order to move to New York City and pursue her dream of being an artist. Zach eventually comes to realize that his life in the Midwest is not so bad and he gains a new appreciation for his family and friends.
The film was panned in a review that appeared in the Observer newspaper in Ontario, which said, "It's a monotonous combination of a poor script, bizarre and/or uninteresting characters and a trio of heroes you really just don't care about."
