Lucky 7 (2003)

if you're at home on a Saturday afternoon not particularly doing anything this is a GREAT movie to watch. its sensitivity, happy ending, and cute story line will transport you straight to i-wish-i-were-as-lucky-as-her world. So maybe it's not action-packed and full of large sets, but it's really nice. just one of those feel-good movies you blink tears away of at the end of the movie. and can i say this movie, unlike so many others, is actually Believable? i mean in other movies you either hang off the Brooklyn Bridge waiting for Spidey to come pick you up or wait till some sleazy politician falls in love with you. a definite recommended watch!!

I'm surprised that this movie wasn't in the theatres. It's theatre material and quality. There is charisma between Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Patrick Dempsey. Mr. Dempsey is just so cute in this movie. I actually watched the DVD again the first time. It's a great date movie on a Friday, a perfect chick-flick. This is going to be one of my top ten movies to see when I'm in the mood for romantic comedy. I actually bought 2 DVD's to give one to my girlfriend. The movie script is very well written and everything just flows through, kind of like "While you were sleeping". Great settings and perfect lessons for women with power jobs to just stop and smell the roses and start being spontaneous!!!!I think everyone in the movie parts were great (except for the funk girlfriend which they didn't really elaborate any more). Kimberly's friend's part should have been elaborated more. I wasn't really sure if they were her friends or siblings. Also, about the part of her hating her job wasn't really shown. They could have shown more scenes to lead to this conclusion.

Spoilers follow.While channel-flipping I came across this on Cinemax--Lucky 7, starring that girl who could have been Mrs. Sampras, Kimberly Williams of Father of the Bride; Patrick Dempsey; and Brad Pitt look-alike (and namesake) Brad Rowe.The story is sweet: the mother of Kimberly Williams' Amy dies when she is seven. Before she dies, she lays down a time line for Amy's life which includes summer camp, running for student council, law school, and seven boyfriends--the last of which is 'The One'. After she breaks up with #5, she meets Daniel (Rowe) who is utterly perfect for her--corporate upstart, ultimate flower-guy (she gets three bouquets in two weeks), not to mention quite cute. However, he isn't #7, so she sets out to find a temporary #6 and finds it in Peter (Dempsey), the manager of the bagel shop she frequents.Peter asks her to accompany him for the weekend to a wedding where she will pretend to be his girlfriend because his ex is also going to be at the wedding. As with almost all the pretend-relationships in popular cinema, sparks fly and they end up getting to know each other a little better. In a decision that not-so-subtly parallels Amy's choosing her unfulfilling legal job, she chooses safe and well-liked Daniel over the spontaneous Peter--but does she? Everything wraps up as it's supposed to wrap up, and although some tears are shed, we know everyone's happy in the end.Patrick Dempsey seems to be realizing the potential that winked at us in his earlier movies (and was evident in Sweet Home Alabama), and turning out to be quite the hottie while at it, a far cry from the decidedly weird characters he portrayed in some of his earlier films. The goofballs can become leading men after all. I'm now looking forward to seeing the "About A Boy" TV series in which he is starring (based on the book and the Hugh Grant movie of the same name). Kimberly Williams shows us why she charmed us in the Father of the Bride movies, and the story fills you with a warm tingly feeling; but this is by no means a great movie.There is nothing life-shattering or awe-inspiring about this movie. It's just... nice. It's quite so-so, filler TV movie fare even--and the warm tingly feeling lasts just until the rolling of the end credits. Maybe I just had to be reminded of the nicer things in life, like falling in love with someone you didn't really expect and finding out that your hands 'fit'. Meanwhile this movie is perfect for lazy nights curled in bed, or a pseudo-date movie at home. Sometimes we need a little simplicity, after all.

Bored on a Sunday afternoon, I chose to watch this movie on cable. As it turns out, the flick was good but not great. Basically it is a typical cable movie where guy likes girl, girl ignores him & dates another, guy asks her out, romantic high jinks ensue.The film begins with a 7 1/2 year old Amy painting in the dining room. Eventually she heads out to the patio and has a sweet talk with her dying mother. It is here that her mother offers a time line for Amy to follow as she grows older, including the idea that Amy marry boyfriend number 7. Then the movie segues to Amy, aged 27. Now she's a lawyer who hates her job and is still clinging to her mothers "guide to life." Soon, we meet Peter the Bagel Boy & David. Naturally a love triangle follows and boyfriend number 6 wins.At times Amy simply annoyed me with her twenty-year-old obsession withe the timeline & David appeared too perfect. However, I did like Peter, as his character appeared to be the most realistic.If you're looking for a light and fluffy way to pass an hour or so, go ahead and watch. Otherwise, get off the couch and vacuum or take a nap.
