The Luckiest Man in America

The Luckiest Man in America
May 1984. An unemployed ice cream truck driver steps onto the game show Press Your Luck harboring a secret: the key to endless money. But his winning streak is threatened when the bewildered executives uncover his real motivations.
Kevin Ward reviewedJune 30, 2025
Talented cast, and it is a fascinating story, but this film is unfortunately very boring, particularly if you already know the story. It doesn’t dig into Larson’s pre or post Press Your Luck at all. The ending falls really flat. Pretty disappointing, honestly.
