Renting the movie, 5 December 2006
8/10
Author: mvanaselja-2 from United States

I have been looking to rent this movie for long time and could not find it because I did not know the name of it.

Now, when I found a name I could not find it anyway. Why it is not available on Netflix? I like the story and I have not seen the movie for very long time. Is it too old or is it under some kind of protection. Everybody should be able to see it.

There should be more funny movies like this one and I believe that there are enough good stories to tell, that will make people laugh.

Also I think that Martin Short is very funny actor and "Pure Luck" is one of my favorite movies.
