As Regras do Amor

The helpful direction the dying give you, in an effort to help you think about the future, really does weigh on you once they're gone. You hold onto it thinking you're holding onto them and yet you have to challenge yourself to get on with the life you want for yourself. This film's lead character experiences that, struggles with it, trying hard to stick to the map her mother left her for her life. Throughout it reminded me to move on so I could appreciate the film for that alone. However Kimberly Williams is very good in her role, alternately type-A and ditsy, and Patrick Dempsey is also really good and his character the sweet but strong man most hetero women - and gay men - wish for (for all Grey's Anatomy "McDreamy" fans, it's worth watching!) and the scenery in and around Sooke Harbour House lovely (so want to move there).

Yes, I'd watch it again! And probably again, in a few years, just as a reminder...

I didn't realize this was a TV movie - it seemed like an above-average theatrical. The casting and acting were good (even featuring hotties), although unknown actors, and the story was interesting. Very surprisingly fun, well-made and even thought-provoking.

"Lucky 7" was a touching and poignant story of a mother who creates a means to help her young daughter adjust to the fact that she (the mother)is dying, and in so doing she provides a way for the child to keep her mother in her heart and as a part of life.

By drawing a time-line for her 7 year old daughter,of things that will happen over the years to come,including school, career, and boyfriends, this young mother helps her daughter cope with her loss and makes her a vivid part of her life.

As the story progresses, you think you know how it will resolve,but there is definitely an element of suspense and surprise. There were no really bad characters here . . . so it doesn't give itself away, just a case of some being better suited than others.

The performances were very good and true to the characters. They were appealing and drew you into their story.

I really enjoyed this touching romantic comedy -- more romantic than comedy. I recommend "Lucky 7" and would watch it again.

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.

if you're at home on a Saturday afternoon not particularly doing anything this is a GREAT movie to watch. its sensitivity, happy ending, and cute story line will transport you straight to i-wish-i-were-as-lucky-as-her world. So maybe it's not action-packed and full of large sets, but it's really nice. just one of those feel-good movies you blink tears away of at the end of the movie. and can i say this movie, unlike so many others, is actually Believable? i mean in other movies you either hang off the Brooklyn Bridge waiting for Spidey to come pick you up or wait till some sleazy politician falls in love with you. a definite recommended watch!!
