Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married

I was on the last hundred pages of 'Lucy Sullivan' and had decided to put the book down - make it last. Then the thought popped into my head "There's a DVD set you can watch, just read it!". So i finished the book that night, really happy and excited about renting out the TV Adaption the next day.

Now i wish I'd savored the book, and not wasted my $10 on this crap. Not even Gerard Butler could save it. This is the worst thing i have watched since, and probably before, Gigli. The Characters are completely altered, none of the changes are positive. Too much detail is paid to things that are pointless and/or dull. The acting is awful and the entire feeling of the show leaves you empty.

Do not bother. It's an insult to all things Keys!

I loved the story told in the TV series and felt each of the characters was interesting and believable. Sam Loggin was a super Lucy! I thought Gus was suitably sleazy, and Daniel was a decent guy with his true qualities not evident at first. The 3 girls at Lucy's flat were each definite characters with good story lines of their own and their interactions reminded me of some of my experiences with a roommate. The office life portrayed was realistic and very funny! Each character was a clear individual and well-portrayed by the actors. I saw the show before I read the book so for me this show IS Lucy Sullivan. I read the book afterward and noted a number of differences from the TV show but felt the show still stands as a brilliant entertainment in its own right. It remains one of my favourite TV series and I'd love to watch it again if someone airs it again or if it comes out on DVD.

They have scheduled it twice and promptly taken it off. I got so fed up with waiting for it to come back on so I bought the book by Marian Keyes to see what happens. ITV said something, at the time, like they hadn't found the right time to schedule it. It's really annoying to viewers when they do this. Once they've scheduled it and aired it please keep the story going. Still it would be interesting to see what ITV did to the rest of the story and if their ending was the same as the book. One of the actors in it plays the Phantom in the The Phantom of The Opera film out soon. Maybe one day - who knows. Why spend the money making it if they aren't going to show it - doesn't make sense.

I remember this show! It was a show based on the book of the same name. The book is very popular in Britain so the show had a lot to live up to. However, the show made many changes, like changing the way the charactars looked (especially Karen) and messing up the plots (especially where Gus was concerned) I say they just should have made a movie, like Bridget Jones, instead of this disaster! It wasn't even funny!

I read the book as did countless thousands of other people and while initially disappointed in some key character changes, I soon forgot that and got right into this. It was shown as a mini series in Australia so the anticipation was high to see how badly Gus treated Lucy from week to week.

I do have to say I loved it. Daniel wasn't quite as 'manly' as I'd hoped but he did come through in the end.

For those of us who love to be sucked into the fantasy world of the relationships of others, this is a definite must see. Lucy isn't the luckiest girl and has some terrible flatmates, but doesn't that sound like a lot of us?
