Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Lucky in Love touches on a theme that is true for many of us - that the perfect life we've dreamed of may not be as perfect as we think. Mira Simon (Jessica Szohr) literally has her dream life dropped in her lap - dream career, dream apartment, dream guy. At first it's exciting but the more she lives her perfect life the less perfect it becomes for her. The experience of having it all enables her to understand that her real "perfect" life may be something other than what she envisioned, yet more perfect than what she could have ever imagined.

Jessica Szhor of Gossip Girl plays an executive who gets a promotion upwards and meets her prince charming. However when she gets her promotion she struggles with being the boss instead of the underling and also has no place in her life for her new guy.There is a fairly predictable story about how she can't have it all - the career and the guy. It is so impossible? What's the message anyway - you can't have both? Jessica looks prettier than in GG. Wouldn't have pegged her look for the romantic lead always though she is more the supporting best friend. But she cleans up nicely. Benjamin Hollingsworth is her good friend who is secretly in love with her. The ending is predicable.

CONTAINS SPOILERSTypical formulaic schlock. If you couldn't foresee the ending in the first 10 minutes then you've never watched a Hallmark movie. And the intrusive bland tuneless piano music is relentless – I don't think there were more than 10 minutes in the whole movie where there was enough silence to hear the dialog.Girl is secretly loved by nerdy co-worker. Girl makes wishes (big promotion, handsome boyfriend, big house). Girl miraculously gets what she wished for (big promotion, handsome boyfriend, big house). Everything fine for 10 minutes and then everything starts to unravel (blows off friends who won't come to see her because her house is too far away, nerd leaves and takes another job, alienates team with her snotty attitude, allows handsome boyfriend to call the shots). Girl miraculously sees the light (inspires previous superior at work to become a better man, whips her team into shape and saves the day, sees new boyfriend as the shallow cad that he is, and realizes that she and the nerd were meant to be). Requisite "running through the streets because can't get a cab and arriving too late" scene followed by meeting the nerd just by chance and seeing the light. That's two hours of my life I'll never get back.

Perhaps, if they played You'd Be So Easy to Love as the title theme song as the credits came out, this would have enhanced this film.Mira is played by someone who resembles Anne Bancroft in her early years. She strives for perfection and seems to hit the jackpot in one day, when she gets stuck in the elevator with her top executive and shows her an idea she has for their computer social network business.Her immediate boss had really ignored her and was up for a top promotion. She gets the top position instead and meets the guy of her dreams in a chance meeting all in one day.The film tries to bring out that getting your wish isn't everything, especially the financial angle as well.The film reinforces the idea that the best management allows for collective collaboration and interaction among its employees to attain their ideas.
