Pure Luck

Pure Luck (1991) is a slapstick comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Accountant Eugene Proctor is a walking disaster — hand him fifty chairs and he'll find the one that collapses. That curse turns out to be his one marketable skill.

A millionaire's daughter, Valerie, has vanished somewhere in Mexico, and she's every bit as accident-prone as Proctor. A company psychologist makes the leap: send one jinxed soul after another, and their bad luck might just intersect at the same spot. Detective Raymond Campanella draws the short straw of babysitting this human wrecking ball across the border. Martin Short trips, tumbles and demolishes everything in reach while Danny Glover plays it deadpan — the whole movie rides on that mismatch.

It's old-school early-'90s physical comedy, every pratfall done for real with no digital safety net. Easy, undemanding viewing for a night when you just want to laugh at someone else's catastrophes. Stream Pure Luck online on iFILM.
