Whatever investment one had into the adoption arc and Sam adjusting to the next stage of her life is upended for a journey to this fantastical location. It turns out that the coin is not a penny but a literal good luck token that Bob wears inside his collar as he comes from the magical Land of Luck. While functioning as a one-joke animated feature that gets stale and corny fast ( Luck might have worked better if director Peggy Holmes and the screenwriting/storyboarding team of Kiel Murray, Jonathan Aibel, and Glenn Berger had deployed the bad luck running gags with some restraint and moderation), Sam encounters a Scottish black cat named Bob (endearingly voiced by Simon Pegg) that accidentally leaves behind a coin that Sam mistakes for a penny (operating under the superstition of “find a penny, pick it up, and all day long you’ll have good luck”) while becoming enticed by some shared food.
A considerate and kind soul, Sam is first and foremost concerned with supporting Hazel and doing anything in her power to see the girl adopted into a wonderfully welcoming family. It’s something that never happened for Sam (something else to be chalked up to bad luck), but she’s also not too bothered about it anymore. And while independence is always something to admire, one can’t help but wonder how the universe will continue to conspire against her, now solo.Īlso present in the group home is Hazel (voiced by Adelynn Spoon), a young girl hoping to find her “forever home” through adoption. She’s also on the verge of turning 18, nervously about to leave her group home and start living alone while working a standard cashier job. Objects constantly fall on her, she’s always bumping into things, technology is regularly malfunctioning around her setting her day’s tasks back, and the world generally seems to be ensuring that whatever can go wrong will go wrong. Sam Greenfield (voiced by the relatively unknown Eva Noblezada, who impressed in the musician drama Yellow Rose) might be the unluckiest person in the world.
The curtain is pulled back on the millennia-old battle between the organizations of good luck and bad luck that secretly affects everyday lives. Featuring the voice talents of Eva Noblezada, Simon Pegg, Jane Fonda, Whoopi Goldberg, Colin O’Donoghue, Lil Rel Howery, Flula Borg, John Ratzenberger, Maurice J.
