Let's be realistic.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Lucky 7 is a made-for-TV movie that stars Patrick Dempsey and Kimberly Williams-Paisley together with Brad Rowe,Brian Markinson and Gail O'Grady.Growing up to become a prominent Seattle lawyer, Amy has never gone wrong following her late mother's advice. Crucial to the time line is her quest for the perfect husband. As pre-determined by her mom, the lucky man will have to be Amy's seventh boyfriend. Unfortunately, Amy has fallen deeply in love with Boyfriend Number Six, a good-looking, if somewhat pompous, young blade named Daniel. So as not to upset the continuum, Amy must shop around for an "alternate" number six, enabling Daniel to emerge as number seven. The man ultimately chosen for the express purpose of being dumped by Amy is Peter Connor, a former Wall Street broker now running a small bagel store. This is a TV movie that is delightful and entertaining as the lead character,Amy learns to follow her heart.Although it is far from a masterpiece,it will manage to make the viewer laugh,happy and forget momentarily the problems and stress one is facing in life.

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.

I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!... It would be wrong to view this film w/ high expectations. I don't think it even presumed to be more than a TV- movie so some omissions in the plot details are minor and rather irrelevant to the overall appeal of the movie. Even the neurotic lifestyle of Amy, while possibly a bit grating to some, is also OK on hindsight since I don't think viewers were supposed to take her too seriously. Personally, I was able to empathize w/ her, since I'm a bit of a control-freak, as well. Also, Patrick Dempsey played his character real well - as expected - & Peter was a very real character w/ whom I believe I could fall in love. He wasn't an over- the-top hero/underdog or anything, just your regular kind of guy. Very believable. Even Brad Rowe was convincing as Daniel. The great thing about his performance is he didn't try to make Daniel a nuisance. It really seemed as if Amy could as easily fall in love w/ him, as w/ Peter...The film seems to be a bit of light-hearted romantic fluff, but I think we could all use a wake-up call, a reminder not to take ourselves too seriously, to take risks, & to give all our relationships a chance!

I've loved Kimberly Williams since I first saw her in Safe House (1998/I). Candid photos of her on IMDB reveal a wonderful self-confidence. I can see her being cast as a successful, professional businesswoman. However, to me she doesn't quite fit as a high-powered shark (lawyer). Coincidentally, that is one of the conflicts that make the movie what it is. It really pulls the viewer into a tangle of emotions, romance, uncertainty and destiny. Amy wants to follow her mother's plan to marry just the right man, but, love is a funny thing and Amy's emotions just won't behave themselves. It made me cry! Along the way is an amazingly appropriate musical score that is poignant without being overpowering. On the lighter side, I was intrigued by the supporting cast of unknown celebrity look-alikes, including Brad Rowe, who looks like Brad Pitt, as a prime candidate for the Lucky #7. If you like romantic stories, this is a must. Score 9 of 10.
