The Lucky Ones (Cert 15, 108 mins) What's it about? An A-list cast adds sparkle to Neil Burger's road movie with a comedic tinge, which chronicles the trials and tribulations of three Iraq war veterans as they struggle to reintegrate into civilian life. Fred Cheever (Tim Robbins), Colee Dunn (Rachel McAdams) and TK Poole (Michael Pena) are heading home to their loved ones on the same flight when some contrived dramatic turbulence forces them to head onto the road together to resolve their inner conflicts. Veteran officer Cheever is out of the army for good and has paternal responsibilities back in St Louis. Private Colee and Sergeant Poole are both on 30 days' leave. She is heading for the desert strip too, on an emotional odyssey to visit her dead boyfriend's parents, while he prays for a miracle so he doesn't have to tell his fiancee that the piece of shrapnel embedded in his groin has left him impotent.See the full content of this document
