Portia H 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.

laurana75 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.

logans_mom00 Oh, how I wish I had taped this movie! Now I will be desperately looking for it to air again. Kimberly Williams does such a great job - she seems very natural in this character (makes me wonder if she is a control freak in real life or just a great actress ;) Patrick Dempsey is adorable - I hope we see more of him, soon. I wouldn't call this a romantic comedy, as it made me tear up much more than laugh, but it was very romantic. As another plus, the soundtrack is phenomenal.

shialaib I didn't begin this movie with high expectations, but I was quickly won over. Unlike most movies where the young woman has to choose between an obviously wrong choice and the man of her dreams, both men in this movie had something to offer her. And being a big fan of Patrick Dempsey, I couldn't resist! Well worth the watch...
