Lucky Seven - Stylish & Comfortable Women's Casual Shoes for Everyday Wear | Perfect for Walking, Shopping & Office Outfits

After what seemed like a marathon run of middling romantic comedies, most of them not rating more than an "eh" on the cheer scale, I gave this flick a shot based on the reviews here. Thank you to all those who recommended it, because it's now one of my most watched movies.It isn't a classic, by any means, and the plot and characters aren't revolutionary, but in that way it's like a favorite sweater, comfortable and fluffy warm, because what it does it does very well. Using the neat hook of a woman rigidly following the timeline drawn out for her as a child by her dying mother, romantic complications arise when Amy, now a stressed lawyer and up to boyfriend #6 according to the plan, meets a handsome new man she wants to be #7- the true-love-marriage man. In order to make this so, Amy needs a stand-in for #6 and she finds this in Peter, her local bagel pusher, who is quietly a wee bit smitten with the unwitting Amy.This romantic triangle is kicked up a notch when Amy accompanies Peter to a friend's wedding on beautiful Orcas Island and the weekend trip is the focus and highlight of the film, as Amy and Peter get to know each other better and struggle to keep up their pretence of being a couple as their emotions get tangled in the ruse and the rules that have governed Amy's life. As happens in all good romantic triangles, it all comes down to the choice between Cute Nice Guy #1 and Cute Nice Guy #2.However, to boil it down to that is to sell the film- and the actors- short. Kimberley Williams makes Amy bright and bubbly and her character carries the film winningly, while as her suitors, Brad Rowe as the potential "lucky 7" is definitely easy on the eye (if not terribly charismatic) and Patrick Dempsey has such a great easy charm mixed with a hint of smoulder that his bagel-boy Peter won me over early on and made *my* choice easy. In addition to the genuinely likable characters- including the supporting roles of Amy's father and friends- this film is treat to watch for the gorgeous scenery of Orcas Island and the soundtrack which uses songs by Chantal Kreviazuk and eastmountainsouth to wonderful effect.It's the kind of sweet, light movie treat that begs for a quiet night, a good comfy sofa, a dish of ice cream or a bowl of buttery popcorn, and maybe a couple of friends to sigh and smile over it all with you. If you're after a little pretty romance, Lucky 7 is a fine bet!
