Critic's Consensus: High-octane fun that's smartly assembled without putting on airs, Logan Lucky marks a welcome end to Steven Soderbergh's retirement -- and proves he hasn't lost his ability to entertain.

My comments: Now this was a really, really good comedy. Not a silly comedy, or stupid one. Not a black comedy or even a slap happy one. It was smart, fun, and very, very funny. For me, Adam Driver really stole the show. Between his Forrest Gump-like accent, artificial hand, and straight-faced delivery of all his lines, I couldn't wait for the next scene he was in. And believe it or not, the entire movie was full of good, positive family values even if it was about a heist! Channing Tatum was his usual charming self an Daniel Craig, Hillary Swank, and Katie Holmes were all superb. The only off note for me was the character that Seth MacFarlane played. Too over-the-top, more silly than the rest of the movie warranted. A really well done move, not Oscar Material, but clever, well acted, and well made.
RT/ IMDb Summary: Trying to reverse a family curse, brothers Jimmy (Channing Tatum) and Clyde Logan (Adam Driver) set out to execute an elaborate robbery during the legendary Coca-Cola 600 race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
