The most cheesy boring romantic movie you can watch this if you are 12 years old.

Well, I loved this movie, or rather I loved it! a story of love, affection, family, very beautiful the movie, after finishing watching this movie, I was thinking '' have the book of this movie? if has better I'm going to buy''. This movie was very well done, it was wonderful, thrilled me so much, and by the history marked me! When I came here to see the vote, I think it deserved more than that, because it was the best movie of all! It does not matter the movie year, it matters the story.

The Lucky One (2012): Dir: Scott Hicks / Cast: Zac Efron, Taylor Schilling, Jay R. Ferguson, Blythe Danner, Riley Thomas Stewart: The title can refer to Zac Efron who plays a soldier sent home to find the woman in a photograph that saved his life in a crucial moment. It can also refer to Taylor Schilling whose brother was killed in battle and ends up meeting Efron who applies for a job for the pet training place where she works. At any rate, the title doesn't refer to the audience. It is obvious that the picture that Efron finds had belonged to her brother but the film jerks us around with the truth never surfacing until that pitiful moment where viewers are suppose to care. This is formula crap straight through every predictable cliché. Scott Hicks made another mediocre romance called No Reservations but that film is gold along side this junk. Hicks films great opening war footage then the production becomes basic melodrama bullshit. Efron and Schilling bang each other in the shower, in bed, and anywhere else and their passion is pure nonsense. Jay R. Ferguson as Schilling's abusive ex who is the father of her kid is completely over the top. From the first moment he appears on screen as the cop who is son of higher power, he comes off as a snotty, spoiled high school bully. Blythe Danner plays Schilling's grandmother who is the voice of reason but her drunken scene seems inspired by the material she is given to begin with. This is one of the worst pieces of garbage conjured together that is slapped with the title of romance. If you are fortunate enough to miss this film then you are the ultimate lucky one. Score: 2 / 10

If you have read the book and are familiar with Nicholas Sparks you will definitely find the movie to be butchered in relation to the narrative. I was so disappointed with what the filmmakers did to the narrative, continuity and substance of the story.. it's almost confusing to follow if you have not read the book- or even appears lacking if you haven't. Of course i know it is difficult to incorporate a whole story into a film but it is possible to capture the essence and I do not think these filmmakers did a great job of doing that. However, Zac Efron and Blythe Danner are the only redeeming points in this film. Their casting and performance are really the only thing that kept me watching this film, especially Blythe. I felt that Beth's character could have been cast better but that is just me. I definitely would advise against watching if you have read the book. If you haven't I would say give it a go but don't expect to be blown away.
