The Lucky Ones
2008
Three soldiers injured in the Iraq War return to native soil, only to find that their tour of duty has taken its toll on the home front. Hoping to repair their tattered lives, Colee (Rachel McAdams), Cheaver (Tim Robbins) and T.K (Michael Peña) set off on an impromptu cross-country road trip. While Colee seeks to repay her dead boyfriend's family, Cheaver dreams of a big win in LasVegas, and T.K. tries to regain his confidence.

An unexpectedly good, low-key character drama. Interesting without feeling contrived, with an appropriate ending. Rachel McAdams character is unwittingly funny throughout the film, and the rest of the cast is good as well.
