GOOD LUCK
starstarstarstar
Straight from the Iron John school of comedy comes this strange film about coping with disability and what it means to be a real man. Bernard "Bern" Lemley (Gregory Hines) is a dental technician left paralyzed by a drunk driver. He convinces Tony "Ole" Olezniak (Vincent D'Onofrio), an ex-football star blinded in a freak gridiron accident, to join him in a white-water rafting regatta down Oregon's Rogue River. Bern wants to prove that physical disability doesn't mean that life can't be lived to the fullest, while Ole -- having lost his sight, his sexual potency and (for some inexplicable reason) the ability to produce a really satisfying bowel movement -- needs to reassert his manhood. Along the way they go crabbing, play blackjack and touch football and talk about their penises -- a lot. For a comedy, there's an awful lot of anxiety floating around here: When Ole first feels Bern's small-scale model of the raft, he mistakes it for a sexual aid and comes to the panicky conclusion that Bern is after more than companionship; Bern must first prove his "trustworthiness" before Ole will agree to anything. But together they learn to become men again: With a little help from Bern, Ole gets his erection and has a satisfying bowel movement. What more could a guy ask? leave a comment --Ken Fox
