Synopsis

Wannabe filmmakers Phillip Fellini (Sam Maccarone) and Forrest Fonda (Preston Lacy) think they've found the subject of a lifetime when they meet a cave-dwelling, beer-swilling Missouri backwoodsman named Lucky "Cucumber" Cavanaugh (Dian Bachar), rumored to be the unluckiest man alive. But when Lucky's fortunes begin to turn, he and the filmmakers end up on a wild adventure in a comic mockumentary.

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
mfrazier-766-496253 Popped up in a search for Missouri movies. Looked kind of like my home town, pretty much the same people. And that is the truth, there are people just like this in Missouri. The film had some cleaver puns and outlandish episodes (The exterminator, Noodling and the whiskey bong). The meth-head on a rocking horse & meth-head poet, that was killer. The epilogues were pretty cool, especially for Phillip Fellini, could be a perfect sequel setup. --- Watch it with out any hopes it will be good, and you will have some fun. Watch it with expectations and you will be disappointed. --- Now for some real Missouri Movies, try Winter's Bone and Killer Diller.
James Darrington I don't know if I'd say this is a terrible movie because it does have a bunch of redeeming qualities, like Dian Bachar starring in it (Choda Boy) is great! They had some cool locations and there are some really funny scenes in it. Mostly the ones where some sort of fluid is shooting around, whether it be blood, semen, urine, are the funniest. Lots of funny props and cool stunts in it.I didn't know what really to expect in a movie with a title like this. And after it was over, I still didn't know what really to make of it. It for sure had funny moments in it. It's probably a great movie to throw on in the background of a party or something.Also if you're watching the DVD, there are some really outrageous deleted scenes.
assistant-71 At one—and the most successful—level, the film lampoons "in search of documentaries" such as Morgan Spurlock's latest effort, Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden? In this case, the fictional object of the search is small-town loser and legendary eccentric Lucky "Cucumber" Cavanaugh—a less-than-average guy who sabotages bathtub races with Molotov cocktails and lives with his grandfather in a cave. But the object of the satire here is not Lucky so much as it is the doc's fictional filmmakers Phillip Fellini and Forrest Fonda. Granted, the Jackass and South Park mode of lunacy hits the mark from time to time, as Lucky Cucumber is actually more focused than many of the films it apes. But the film wanders and never really finds its stride, and jumps the rails entirely with idiotic diversions. This is bachelor party material at best.
hamsterkitten Lucky Cucumber is a local "celebrity" who is known for many things, such as being "a man who would set another man on fire for a pizza," having had over 100 jobs and living in a cave. A couple of local filmmakers decide to take a government grant they were given and make a film about Lucky and his life. What ensues leads you deep into the world of a bizarre, dimwitted guy who lives with his cranky grandpa and awkwardly goes through life one weird day at a time.The theory behind The Life of Lucky Cucumber seemed like a good idea. A quirky, off the wall comedy that will throw unexpected scenarios and dialogue at you from one minute to the next. Unfortunately, the follow through did not pan out as the writing was not really that funny. The acting left a little to be desired, where the movie itself left a LOT to be desired. And I'm all for actors writing scripts, but think these guys needed to stick to their day jobs.
