4.0 out of 5 stars captivating, April 2, 2004

This review is from: Jackie Collins' Lucky Chances [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I found the movie very interesting. Movies never follow the book to a tee. The actors and actresses were superb. I enjoyed each and every one of the characters(no problem with nicollette). Jackie comes through once again. I recommend it. It leaves you yearning for more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie, January 31, 2001

This review is from: Jackie Collins' Lucky Chances [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I thought this was a great movie. I loved the actor playing Gino. I actually felt like he was ment for the part. Although the books were much better, I really enjoyed this movie and the sequal to it. Sandra Bullock was a good Maria, but her part was too short.The actress playing Lucky was brilliant! She gave off the real essence of Lucky.

4.0 out of 5 stars Irizarry Saves the Day, July 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Jackie Collins' Lucky Chances [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I agree with the first viewer, this movie was good, but the books were of the "can't put 'em down" variety, so would have been VERY hard to beat IMO. Vincent Irizarry, playing Gino "the Ram" Santangelo saves this movie for sure. He ages 40 years and does so with style and grace. An amazing performance from an amazing man. Michael Nader as Enzio Bonnati is excellent as well. I didn't find Braeden's portrayal of Dimitri all that compelling however. I don't think he "fit" the role real well, maybe it's just me. The roles of Lucky and her mother should have been reversed. Sandra Bullock would have made a much better Lucky and Nicolette Sheridan ... well let's just say she would have been on screen a whole lot less. Grant Show was great as Marco, although the part was too small for my liking. And the character of Lenny Golden may well have not even been introduced for all the time they spent on him, he was a BIG part of the books, and hardly even noticable in the movie. (Not the actor's fault, he was good.)

Overall, it was very entertaining. It was originally a mini-series and is long, almost four hours and would probably be best viewed in several installments.
