Short summary

After Zatanna sends a magically spiked bottle of champagne to Clark and Lois for their bachelor/bachlorette parties, the gang blacks out after the toast, only to wake up the next morning and realize they can't remember anything about the night before. While trying to retrace their steps, Lois realizes she lost her engagement ring and drags Oliver back to the Fortune Casino where she thinks she lost it. The two run into Fortune, the eccentric casino owner, who accuses them of stealing money from him. Meanwhile, Clark tells Chloe he has a memory of stealing an armored truck the night before.

Oliver Queen has slept with all the women in the bachelorette party

Smallvilles version of the movie The Hangover, even with a monkey.

Chloe says towards the end of the episode, that she has met others like Clark Kent. A billionaire with high tech toys and a wonderous-woman that will throw him for a loop. She was speaking of Batman and Wonder Woman respectfully.

    This is one of Smallville's love it or hate it stories. The basic premise revolves around Clark and Lois having their Bachelor/Bachelorette parties. Throw in a brief mention of Zatanna casting a spell on them, and we have the first ever Superhero knockoff of the movie The Hangover.

    To enjoy "Fortune" one has to go into it understanding that this is intended to be the most over the top, blatantly comical, ridiculous, absurd and silly episode, probably in the history of the 10 year run. I liked that instead of just filming 45 minutes of goofy gags, they actually wrote a highly complex plot involving mobsters, robberies and missing rings. Sure the plot is ridiculous, but the writers knew that. I laughed a lot and really had fun watching this episode. One major complaint I have comes from the final scene. This episode works only because they treat it like an hour long joke. Why they felt they needed to add the final moment between Tess and Emil, I have no idea. That moment at the end seemed completely irrelevant and tacked on, and spoiled an otherwise ridiculously fun story.

    In the end many may find this a tough episode to like. if you don't suspend disbelief and throw away any hopes of a serious story within the first 5 minutes, you'll end up frustrated. If you watch "Fortune" as the near parody that it is, it can be a lot of fun to watch.

    Still hesitating to watch Fortune ? Five reasons to convince you !

    First, Chloe pulling a Castor Troy in a night club with a deadly look on her innocent face. Second, Clark in the blur and… Well you know what the man is capable of ! The most hilarious Smallville scene ever last only a few split seconds but you'll replay it dozens of times. Actually I wish they had based the whole episode on its concept. Third, Lois obsessive and entertaining ring quest. Or was Erica Durance mimicking Teri Hatcher in Lois & Clark : The New Adventures of Superman ? Two Lanes to rule them all ! Fourth and not least, Oliver on heels. The Tour Eiffel is alive ! Drop-dead gorgeous, or not. But she definitely has the power ! Fifth, Tess the glamorous and funky witch has done it again.

    Even if the rhythm was irregular overall it was a very funny episode filled with joyful and emotional moments. Still Serinda Swan was missing when after reading the summary I was expecting her to come back as sexy Zatanna. Her seductive role in Warrior was so well done ! To sum things up it could have been better but in the end it's a must see considering the few super cult scenes it features.
