Am I Missing Something?

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

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.

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.

If you like weird off the wall comedy and you want to find your inner beer-guzzling redneck, this is your kinda movie. A screener copy showed up here at work so I called up some friends, opened a case of Rolling Rock and we proceeded to laugh our asses off.Sam Macarone is great as a bus driver who goes to work in a beer hat, leather jacket and tighty-whiteys. Dian Bachar (who played Choda Boy in Orgasmo) is the world's most unlikely leading man so he's maybe the best thing about the movie, except for Stella Keitel-whose just plain hot. Preston Lacy reminds me of Chris Farley, a really strange, drunk Chris Farley.I don't agree with the first review at all, but I guess it means some people wont like this movie, but I think a lot of people will. We sure did.

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.
