Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Awesome Movie

Absolutely Fantastic

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Mira Simon (Jessica Szohr) dreams of the perfect life. Her co-worker friend Jonah has a crush on her. It's April Fool's Day. Sophie tries to set her up but Mira pretends Liam as her new boyfriend. She delivers papers to a nice apartment and pranks her roommates that it's her new place. She pranks Jonah that she got a big promotion from CEO Erin Billings (Deidre Hall) and then she gets stuck in the elevator with her. Suddenly, all of her pranks come true but her new perfect life isn't quite as good as expected.This is a Hallmark movie. It's not a sin but this is so bland. It is lifeless. Jessica Szohr is a perfectly engaging lead. Jonah has the potential for a nice rom-com but he is no more than a side character. This simply lacks substance.

After one hour of watching Lucky in Love, I turned it off. This Hallmark movie had a cute story with personable actors, but there was continual repetitive "bing-bong" music in the background playing that was louder than the speaking. Instead of this being a movie, it became a concert.Years ago the Classic Movies only had music playing when there was a climatic or action scene, but not while people were speaking. You could hear every word clearly then. Now you have to try and listen to both the speaking and a concert at the same time. My family and I have excellent hearing, but the music is just too loud and too annoying to keep the movie on. Why does Hallmark insist on ruining all their delightful movies? Their movies were not like this years ago.I love Hallmark's predictable, happy endings. Please keep making them without the music while the actors are speaking. Thank you.

CONTAINS SPOILERSTypical formulaic schlock. If you couldn't foresee the ending in the first 10 minutes then you've never watched a Hallmark movie. And the intrusive bland tuneless piano music is relentless – I don't think there were more than 10 minutes in the whole movie where there was enough silence to hear the dialog.Girl is secretly loved by nerdy co-worker. Girl makes wishes (big promotion, handsome boyfriend, big house). Girl miraculously gets what she wished for (big promotion, handsome boyfriend, big house). Everything fine for 10 minutes and then everything starts to unravel (blows off friends who won't come to see her because her house is too far away, nerd leaves and takes another job, alienates team with her snotty attitude, allows handsome boyfriend to call the shots). Girl miraculously sees the light (inspires previous superior at work to become a better man, whips her team into shape and saves the day, sees new boyfriend as the shallow cad that he is, and realizes that she and the nerd were meant to be). Requisite "running through the streets because can't get a cab and arriving too late" scene followed by meeting the nerd just by chance and seeing the light. That's two hours of my life I'll never get back.

Perhaps, if they played You'd Be So Easy to Love as the title theme song as the credits came out, this would have enhanced this film.Mira is played by someone who resembles Anne Bancroft in her early years. She strives for perfection and seems to hit the jackpot in one day, when she gets stuck in the elevator with her top executive and shows her an idea she has for their computer social network business.Her immediate boss had really ignored her and was up for a top promotion. She gets the top position instead and meets the guy of her dreams in a chance meeting all in one day.The film tries to bring out that getting your wish isn't everything, especially the financial angle as well.The film reinforces the idea that the best management allows for collective collaboration and interaction among its employees to attain their ideas.
