My Response: I have mixed feelings about The Lucky Ones. It has a solid cast and a good director, but it seems like it may easily slip into being a little too melodramatic for my taste. But, it could also turn the other way and be an entertaining and heartfelt movie. The reviews are inconsistent, so I guess we'll have to see it to get a good feeling for it. On TV.
