Martin Short and Danny Glover star in Pure Luck - a rollicking, lighthearted comedy-adventure set in Acapulco. Eugene Proctor (Short) is the unluckiest man in the world. He has a knack for running into things, falling over things and being struck by lightning – twice. His luck is about to change when Valerie (Sheila Kelley), his boss' equally unlucky daughter, disappears. Operating on the theory that it takes one to find one, Proctor is sent on a mission with no-nonsense veteran detective Raymond Campanella (Glover) to rescue the world's most accident-prone heiress. As they retrace Valerie's steps, they are beset by unimaginable mishaps from malfunctioning machinery to near-fatal bee stings in this hilarious, fast-paced comedy from the writers of Kindergarten Cop and Twins.
