It doesn\u2019t happen all that often, but a brand-new Netflix original movie has arrived with a stellar cast and a 100% Rotten Tomatoes review score<\/a> from critics. It\u2019s out tomorrow, and very much seems like it\u2019s going to be worth a watch.<\/p>\n Technically a dramedy, the show is Don\u2019t Say Good Luck. The series is about Sophia Birenbaum, played by Sunny Sandler, leading her high school musical, though she is \u201csuddenly living with even more drama at home than on the stage.\u201d Not ideal.<\/p>\n The cast here is just wildly talented. New Girl\u2019s Max Greenfield, Brooklyn 99\u2019s Stephanie Beatriz, the legends Steve Buscemi and Jon Lovitz. But a standout is said to be Yellowjackets\u2019 Melanie Lynskey, taking a break from her cannibal past on that show for a much different offering here. I\u2019m not familiar with creator Julia Hart\u2019s previous work, but clearly she has hit a home run here.<\/p>\n Don’t Say Good Luck<\/p>\n Rotten Tomatoes<\/p>\n Don\u2019t Say Good Luck will attempt to compete with The Last House, the (quite bad) horror movie that has stayed at #1 on Netflix\u2019s top 10 movie list since its release. It also has to contend with a couple Spider-Man movies, but as a fairly high-profile project, I believe it\u2019s going to do well, particularly if word of mouth spreads about its quality. Here\u2019s what some critics are saying about the film:<\/p>\n Probably half these reviews cite Lynskey as a standout in some form or another, and I think most are ready for her to move on from Yellowjackets to take on other significant projects more often. Right now, however, she has no other projects on the docket.<\/p>\n There are rarely any 100% scored original movies on Netflix, so Don\u2019t Say Good Luck certainly appears like it\u2019s one not to miss. It\u2019s a cast you cannot say no to, and through that alone (put Steve Buscemi on a thumbnail and I\u2019m there), I think it\u2019s going to do well on the service. We\u2019ll find out when it arrives tomorrow, August 14.<\/p>\n Follow me <\/strong>on Twitter<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>YouTube<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Pick up my sci-fi novels the <\/strong>Herokiller series<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>The Earthborn Trilogy<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
