YMMV / Logan Lucky

• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Joe Bang instructs his brothers to get a bag from a man dressed as a bear who seems to live in the woods; the bear-man hands them the bags, turns, and vanishes while walking away, with no explanation.
• Cliché Storm: Not the film as a whole, but the subplot about Jimmy's daughter hits about every trope possible — the bitchy ex-wife, the thick, greedy car salesman step-father, and the daughter performing at some important event which the father inevitably misses the rehearsal for but manages to arrive at the event proper literally seconds before the daughter performs (made even more jarring since, outside of missing the performance, Jimmy is never even implied to be a deadbeat dad at any other point).
  • Subverted slightly in that Jimmy and Moody get along just fine with no overt hostility or rivalry between them.
• Ending Fatigue: It seems like the film still has about a half hour to go after the heist is concluded... until you realise it's the setup for the Unspoken Plan Guarantee payoff.
• Epileptic Trees: This is a non-violent, Steven Soderbergh-directed heist movie, and the gang is nicknamed 'Ocean's 7-11' at one point. It's ripe for "set in the same universe as Ocean's Eleven" theories. Danny Ocean's exploits must be known enough to make headlines or have become the stuff of legend, given how people talk about it.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • Sounds like Kylo Ren is keeping the "lose a hand" tradition of the Skywalker family running, and he even gets a robotic replacement for it at the end. Only this time it's not in a Star Wars movie. He also gives one of Joe's brothers a nasty look when they talk about wanting to stay on the "light side", fitting considering Kylo Ren's dilemma in the new trilogy. And he also falls down a garbage chute like his father, mother, and uncle did in A New Hope.
  • Channing Tatum is a Southerner in a film where John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" is one of the characters' favorite songs and an important thematic element? It happened twice within a month (though in Logan Lucky it's the main protaginist's favorite song, not a supporting character's).
  • The inmates' fury at The Winds of Winter not yet being completed gets funnier with each passing year; as of 2024, thirteen years after the publication of A Dance With Dragons, seven years after the release of the film itself and five years after the conclusion of the tv adaptation, there is still no sign of the book being finished, let alone published.
• Magnificent Bastard: Jimmy Logan is a blue-collar worker who, after being fired from his job at Charlotte Motor Speedway, concocts a plan to rob the speedway along with his siblings Clyde and Mellie. To this end, he recruits incarcerated Demolitions Expert Joe Bang and his siblings Sam and Fish. Jimmy has Clyde get himself arrested and has Joe organize a riot that they use to cover their escape and eventual return to the prison, both taking place on the same day. After stealing all of the money and escaping, Jimmy anonymously returns the cash Sam and Fish snuck out, causing the investigation to get called off early. He then reveals that Mellie had snuck out extra cash, which he gives to everyone involved, as well as a local mobile clinic and a woman whose car he had damaged as part of the heist.
• Memetic Mutation: The inevitable "sequel to Logan" (which came out earlier the same year) or "this is not a sequel to Logan" jokes showed up in many reviews and podcasts.
• Spiritual Successor: To Soderbergh's own Ocean's Eleven trilogy. It's a caper movie about a non-violent heist with prominent comedy elements, only this time it's done by a blue collar worker and his Ragtag Bunch of Misfits, which includes a few Deep South folks.
• Squick: All the cockroaches Mellie paints as part of the preparation for the heist. Some of them end up in a cake.
