A nasty Chinese-American lady learns from her fortune teller she's incredibly lucky--so she empties her bank account and heads to Atlantic City to gamble. Along the way, she stumbles into a bag filled with cash and she steals it from the dead man who had it. Soon, Chinese gang members begin harassing her and so she decides to hire a body guard to protect her.
Watching "Lucky Grandma" at the Philadelphia Film Festival was an odd experience. While billed as a comedy and having a mildly funny first portion, much of the rest of the movie isn't funny at all and is more of a crime drama. Because of this unevenness, the story was enjoyable but nothing more.
