smoke0 If this is Canada's equivalent of a Lifetime movie......then the USA is in big trouble.You have to see this one to believe it, and love it - possibly the best good girl gone bad flick I have seen since Showgirls. Yes, it is just that cheesy.As for the acting, it's all good, believable, maybe a bit too much so for American viewers used to seeing Valerie Bertinelli or Jaclyn Smith heaving heavy remorseful sighs for their sins and/or more likely role decisions, but a hell of a lot better than that McCleod's Brood crap or made for Lifetime garbage that is shown daily on those wimmin's pics channels of late.And above all, this one has something no other movie of this genre has had now or since, so don't read on if you don't want the best part spoiled! SPOILER coming! Mom beats up the bad guy - You got to love it.

sabrositopapito This movie proves an old and wasted theory. A good cast promises a great movie. Hollywood always tries to do such thing like in Ocean's Eleven. Put every actor in it and you have a 100 million dollar movie. Lets put Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts (The Mexican) in a flick and its guaranteed. Well, both of those movies are not good, they are what I like to call COMMERCIAL MOVIES. The Lucky Girl was shot in Canada with low budget for T.V . It has an amazing cast that don't need to say cheasy lines to get a reaction. Their non - verbal communication, (faces and gestures they make) is breathtaking. You can sense the desperation Elisha Cutbeth feels, is is IS........SO GOOD! It truly was a wonderful experience that made me stay up till 4 in the morning.It's good to see a T.V movie that has plot and great GREAT GREAT ACTING_!

ebach I just saw this movie yesterday and I've been wanting to see it for a long time now. I didn't have any high expectations since lots of made-for-tv movies are lame, but this movie was really good. The story line was great and extremely dark. The most brilliant part is the acting. Elisha Cuthbert is simply amazing in this movie. I haven't seen her on anything else than '24' where she also does a great job, but she is so fantastic in this movie. Also the other actors and actresses are doing a really excellent job. I've never heard anything about teenagers gambling and this movie left me thinking if this really exist and how horrible it is. The scene in the end with Blair, his wife and Katlin is so dark and deep and it's so well performed by Elisha. If one of your tv-channels are showing this movie then it's a must see. I'll give it a 9,5 out of 10...

puckterberg First of all, let me just say that if you are a fan of Elisha Cuthbert, like I am, then "Lucky Girl" is a must-see movie. Although I have not seen a whole lot of her work ("Mail to the Chief" and "24") I cannot imagine it getting any better than this. However, even if this movie had not been blessed with her presence, it would still be a very fine piece of work. Because it is a Canadian made-for-tv movie, I did not expect anything special, but I was pleasantly surprised. It is very well put together and the acting is top-notch. Cuthbert won the 2001 Gemini (Canadian television awards) for best actress in a dramatic program or mini-series and Sherry Miller, who plays her mother, won the Gemini for best supporting actress. The movie premiered in Canada on 4/8/01 on CTV and 'lucky' for those of us in the US, it was picked up by Lifetime, who changed the title to "My Daughter's Secret Life." But whatever it is called, do yourself a favor and see this movie.
