Keep; You also have at least this review on the Moviescene, and this article/interview for the 15th ann. of the film on IBT. With the review currently quoted by the article, that seems to show notability is there. — MY, OH, MY! 10:38, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

  THe article notes: "Sure, people learn that lesson on reality shows and in TV movies like "Lucky 7," airing 8 p.m. Sunday, July 20 on ABC Family. It stars Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Patrick Dempsey. But Williams-Paisley also has learned those realities in real life. ... That plot is a stretch. Viewers might agree with the character who tells Amy, "this is beyond stupid."However, you'll be glued because of the appeal of romance and of Williams-Paisley."

  The article notes: "Fans of predictable tearjerkers might enjoy "Lucky 7" (ABC Family at 8, TV-PG, D). Gail O'Grady appears as a dying mother whose parting gifts to her 7-year-old daughter include a "timeline" of advice that instructs her to run for school office, hit the books at college, travel abroad for interesting experiences and have six boyfriends before settling down with Mr. Right. ... A rickety subplot about a faked romance may be one contrivance too many for even the most die-hard romantics. Brief scenes of casual sex may also put off parents who like to watch such fare with their children."

  The article notes: ""Lucky 7" is a frothy original movie starring Kimberly Williams-Paisley (newly married star of "Father of the Bride" and (cringe) "According to Jim") and Patrick Dempsey airing at 8 p.m. Sunday on ABC Family. She's following Mom's dictate: that she marry boyfriend number 7, whomever he may be. But what if she falls in love with No. 6? Cute."

  The article notes: " "Lucky 7" opens in Amy's childhood home which Wanek described as "understated, cozy and yet locked in time." The beachfront property is where the premise of the movie unfolds. The main character's mother, who is ill, leaves her 7- year-old daughter with a life timeline that plots Amy's career and the advice that reveals she is destined to marry boyfriend No. 7."

Her character, Amy, follows a life plan mapped out for her in childhood by her late mother (Gail O'Grady) that includes becoming a lawyer and marrying her seventh boyfriend. The dilemma occurs when No. 6 (Brad Rowe) appears to be "the one," so she maneuvers someone else (Patrick Dempsey) into the mix to shift the sixth man to No. 7."

  The review notes: "It's predictable but nicely so, this engaging romantic comedy with compelling leads that reminds us of the value of spontaneity. Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Patrick Dempsey are unlikely lovers who become the perfect match in Lucky 7, a made for television rom-com in which a make-believe weekend becomes the basis for a credible future."

  The book notes: "Seattle-based attorney Amy Myer lives by a detailed time line her late mother gave to her when she was seven years old. In that timeline, Amy could date but it would be the seventh man with whom she would find true love. Despite advice from friends and family that she abandons the list, Amy refuses to do so. Amy has already dated five men but has not found a true connection to any of them. She is currently dating boyfriend number six (Daniel) and believes he should be boyfriend number seven. The situation that develops when Amy asks a friend (Connor) to accompany her to a family wedding and pretend to be her fake fiancée (thus making him number 6) and change her mind afterward (making Daniel number 7) is depicted."

  The article notes: "‘Lucky 7′ is van het type standaard romantische comedy maar dan wel écht erg leuk. Met mooie, charmante hoofdrolspelers, met veel chemie tussen de acteurs en een mooi verhaal wat, zelfs al is het eigenlijk erg voorspelbaar, toch spannend blijft tot het eind. Een leuke film voor een lekker filmavondje op de bank."
  From Google Translate: "'Lucky 7' is of the standard romantic comedy type, but really fun. With beautiful, charming protagonists, with a lot of chemistry between the actors and a beautiful story that, even if it is actually very predictable, remains exciting until the end. A nice film for a nice movie night on the couch."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Lucky 7 to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
