This movie is an incredible story about a woman who learns to follow her heart. The story starts out with Amy Meyer, (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) at age seven with her dying mother making a timeline for Amy's life. Amy takes the timeline and follows through with everything on it, right down to her mother's prediction that she will have six boyfriends and that number seven will be "the one." The trouble is, Amy finds who she thinks is Mr. Right is Daniel (Brad Rowe) who is only number six! So Amy must find a substitute boyfriend to stand in as number six so Daniel will be her seventh boyfriend. Talk about confusing!!! Amy gets Peter, (Patrick Dempsey) her "bagel man", to play the part of boyfriend number six, only to find herself falling for Peter. Now, with her heart being pulled in both directions, she must make a decision that will change the course of her life forever. Peter tries to convince Amy to let go of the timeline and just do what her heart truly desires. Daniel just wants her to focus on her career as a lawyer. The movie leaves to wandering until the very end, which one she will choose. This movie is also the ultimate Romantic Comedy! I loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone who loves to see, love-always-wins-out-in-the-end, and having-the-girl-wind-up-with-the-perfect-guy! I hope you enjoy this movie as much as I did!

I happened upon this film on TV one night, and only caught the last hour but it got my attention- When I saw that is was available on DVD I had to order it because if the first half was a good as the second half that I had seen, then this was a keeper! Well, sure enough the entire movie is delightful! The characters are true to life and any movie with Patrick Dempsey is worth my time- If you enjoy those old romantic comedies of the 40's, this has some of those qualities- I have now watched this movie about 10 times, and never tire of it. When I need a lift, this movie always does the job! A really sweet film...give it a try, you might like it...

This is an original ABC Family Movie which first aired on network TV in July 2003 and, thanks to an enormous following and fan request, this wonderful movie will soon be available for purchase on DVD. Amy (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) was seven years old when her mother died. Before her Mom died, she left Amy a timeline to remember her by and to help her cope with her passing. The timeline included pivotal times of a young girl growing up, college, career, etc., leading up to finding her soulmate. Her Mom told her that lucky number 7 would be her true love. Enter number 6, Daniel, played by Brad Rowe, a meticulous, organized, career oriented handsome young man with whom Amy falls in love. Daniel seems to be the perfect match--Amy is also meticulous, organized, and career oriented and hopes to make partner in her law firm. However, Daniel is number 6. Before Amy gets in too deep, she concocts a plan to make Daniel number 7 by inserting another guy, Peter, played by the luscious Patrick Dempsey, into the number 6 slot. Peter is a sweet, very cute and good natured guy who manages a bagel store (but there is much more to Peter than meets the eye). He asks Amy to go to a friend's wedding for the weekend and she agrees to do so, with the intention of making him number 6, so that when she gets back home, she will pick up with Daniel where they left off. Peter asks her to pretend that she is his girlfriend because his ex-fiancee will be at the wedding and he does not want his friends to think he is still suffering. Neither one of them anticipate the feelings that they will have for each other. The next 45 minutes of the movie are my favorite due to the onscreen chemistry between Kimberly and Patrick. I must say that Patrick Dempsey has grown from a young skinny kid into a most handsome and charismatic man at age 37. I am truly smitten, and would love to see more of him on the big screen. Although the premise of the movie is farfetched, the story works because of the excellent performances of the cast and the chemistry between Kimberly and Patrick. Another plus is an incredible soundtrack. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys romance, great acting and good music. You will not be disappointed.

I believe the song sung at the wedding is by eastmountainsouth - "So Are You To Me"....spelled like that. The ferry ride song is by Chantal Kreviazuk...."Time" Those two were the ones played the most.....throughout the film...saw the movie the first time it was shown...catch it every time since and took three months to find the music and artists....hope this helps.....Wish ABC family would put all of their movies like this one on DVD to sell. Thrilled this one finally made it!!

PS

In reference to ABC's Movie "This Time Around"....Song played while they are at the flower market is by Fisher- "Don't Wanna Love You."

When I sat down to watch this movie, I had my apprehensions - the plot seemed so unoriginal ( the typical girl meeting 2 hot guys and having to decide which to go for... ). But this movie surprised me. The acting was great, and the story line had enough humor and obstacles to keep me interested. I particularly liked the fact that the choice she had to make between the guys wasn't so obvious - e.g. going for the sweet but quiet guy over the charming but sleazy hottie. This is definitely making it into my movie collection!

I love when you can find a movie rental that just hits the spot. You know, when you just want to sit back with that someone special or just relax after a long day at work, laugh a bit, get all sentimental and when all is said and done feel satisfied with a predictable, but enjoyable ending. Well this is that kind of movie. The casting is perfect, the soundtrack is pretty great too, (check out eastmountainsouth!) and the setting is breathtaking...just everything about the movie makes you feel good! It's a movie you'll put in the DVD player when ever you need a pick-me-up or a wine-down. Yes it's a chick flick...but it's also smart and funny so it wouldn't be complete torture for a man to sit through and ladies Patrick Dempsey is irresistible in this movie. Bagels anyone!

The Lucky Seven was about a woman, Amy Meyer, whose mother died at when she was only 7. Before she dies, she makes a timeline of Amy's life. Amy takes the timeline and follows it exactly. Her mother's timeline shows that she will have 6 boyfriends and then the 7th one will be "the one". So far, everything on the timeline has worked perfectly for Amy. She finally meets a guy, Daniel, that is absolutely perfect for her, but he's only number 6. She then seeks out a temporary number 6, the bagel man, Peter(dempsey). He takes her to a friend's wedding on an island and pretends that she is his girlfriend. He shows her how to be spontaneous and tries to show her how to be free and not so restricted to the timeline. She is soon caught up in between the two and tries to decide who she is really in love with.
This movie had a good plot and a good idea, but was way too predictable. but i have to agree that dempsey was really hot in this movie. It's worth watching, but not buying. It's a feel good movie that teaches a little.

I believe the song sung at the wedding is by eastmountainsouth - "So Are You To Me"....spelled like that.

I watch a lot of movies, and on my recent visit to the video store I thought I had seen pretty much everything on the shelf. I rented Lucky Seven because of Patrick Dempsey. I liked him in Sweet Home Alamaba. What a surprise for me as this movie was wonderful. I watched it several times before returning it, and then had to buy it to ad to my video collection. Wonderful romantic movie.

I live in Seattle, so I know that this movie was shot mostly in Canada. They're not on Orcas Island, they're at the Sooke Harbour House on Victoria Island, and the high tea is at the Empress Hotel, but I was so wrapped up in the plot that I thought it more amusing than annoying.

The story is wonderful. I could definitely relate to Amy (Kimberly Williams Paisley)...and absolutely fell in love with Peter. (Patrick Dempsey) Sometimes I just replay scenes with Peter's monologues. Charming, down to earth, real, really sexy!!!

Great movie. Probably made for TV, but absolutely worth watching. Owning too!
