lucky or chance be a good movie base on a good book . i read the book first prior to watch the movie and it do follow the book closely with a few minor chnages . vincent irizarry could not have make a good gino and nicollette sheridan be perfect to play lucky . the acting may have be a tad bit over the top and but many of jackie collins book be and that probably why the movie be do that way . i would personally love to see a silver screen version of this book so that more detail of the story could be show ( there be a lot that couldn not be show on t. v. ) .
