Lucky Grandma

  • Newcastle Community Cinema Northern Ireland, BT33 0AD United Kingdom (map)

Chinatown, New York – a chain-smoking, newly widowed 80-year-old Grandma (the utterly beguiling Tsai Chin) is eager to live life as an independent woman, despite the worry of her family. When a local fortune teller (Wai Ching Ho) predicts a most auspicious day in her future, Grandma decides to head to the casino and goes all in, only to land herself on the wrong side of luck...suddenly attracting the attention of some local gangsters.

Desperate to protect herself, Grandma employs the services of a bodyguard from a rival gang (Corey Ha) and soon finds herself right in the middle of a Chinatown gang war. This quirky, darkly comic heist movie hits all the right notes, driven by an array of enjoyably odd characters, finding themselves in increasingly outlandish & comic scenarios. Smartly written, consistently hilarious – an absolute corker.
