From my favorite movies..

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

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.

Mira Simon (Jessica Szohr) dreams of the perfect life. Her co-worker friend Jonah has a crush on her. It's April Fool's Day. Sophie tries to set her up but Mira pretends Liam as her new boyfriend. She delivers papers to a nice apartment and pranks her roommates that it's her new place. She pranks Jonah that she got a big promotion from CEO Erin Billings (Deidre Hall) and then she gets stuck in the elevator with her. Suddenly, all of her pranks come true but her new perfect life isn't quite as good as expected.This is a Hallmark movie. It's not a sin but this is so bland. It is lifeless. Jessica Szohr is a perfectly engaging lead. Jonah has the potential for a nice rom-com but he is no more than a side character. This simply lacks substance.

After one hour of watching Lucky in Love, I turned it off. This Hallmark movie had a cute story with personable actors, but there was continual repetitive "bing-bong" music in the background playing that was louder than the speaking. Instead of this being a movie, it became a concert.Years ago the Classic Movies only had music playing when there was a climatic or action scene, but not while people were speaking. You could hear every word clearly then. Now you have to try and listen to both the speaking and a concert at the same time. My family and I have excellent hearing, but the music is just too loud and too annoying to keep the movie on. Why does Hallmark insist on ruining all their delightful movies? Their movies were not like this years ago.I love Hallmark's predictable, happy endings. Please keep making them without the music while the actors are speaking. Thank you.
