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.

So sue me I voted 10 out of 10, i loved it, then i am a sentimentalist. Not sure what people want out of these movies it was well written the acting was good, the story line OK we have had similar, but we had a bit of drama in the shape of an ex husband who couldn't let go of his ex and made her life a misery. Cue the gorgeous Zak Efron....It kept my attention all the way through it was quite sad at the end and i did shed a little tear for the villain. I have enjoyed all of Nicholas Sparkes movies. Its really odd as La La Land well you couldn't move without it being mentioned as a great movie, yet i watched it and for me it was a load of rubbish, compared to this little movie, I hated it, this one I really enjoyed it and felt good watching it. These movies are what is on the box they are what they are they don't suit everyone, and I certainly wouldn't expect my hubby to sit through it, its a love story, a chick flick crack open a bottle of vino and some pop corn, have a duvet day, and just enjoy it.

This was a good book, I enjoyed the movie too, a decent enough adaption of another Nicholas Sparks romance. I think it could have benefited from being slightly longer as some of the major plot points were glazed over but on that note I wonder if I would have thought the same thing if I hadn't read the book first? Anyways, Zac Efron is nice to look at and does a good job as a slightly PSD'd Iraq war veteran who returns from his third tour of duty and tracks down the woman from a photo he credits with keeping him alive. His good luck charm, a woman he doesn't know but who he soon suspects may be the love of his life.I enjoyed quite a few things about this movie; it's beautifully shot; sunlight filtering through trees in Louisiana. I liked Blythe Danner as the grandma, I liked the relationship 'Logan' develops with Beth's son, playing chess and the sweet scene where he gets the courage to play violin in church. Taylor Schilling was good as the love interest too, she had several emotional scenes to get through. And Jay R. Ferguson does a great job as the bad guy/sheriff/ex-husband. He is a character that you can easily hate, which is always fun.My favorite scene in this movie would be when Logan "schools" 'Keith' disarming the drunken bully on a crowded street, all the while maintaining his cool and making Beth's ex the Sheriff look like a total ass.I was disappointed with the "exciting" climax though; a storm, rising flood waters, a child trapped on a wooden bridge and both men fighting through the waters. This had a hugely suspenseful build up in the book and for a while you're not even sure who survives. Here the whole scene is done and dusted in about 5 minutes. Lame. 6 /14/15

This movie got my attention from the start. Actually I thought all the actors did a great job.. Great movie! Zac is an awesome actor and this movie shows that. I loved how it didn't look fake and mashed together but very well made. I also loved the little kid! He was so cute and his little violin! It was great watching how the characters changed through the story and you could see the change happen instead of wondering what just happened to that person?! It was a very cute movie and i would recommend it to anyone per-teen and up. Love to be introduced to new cool places through films. Anyway, a totally enjoyable chick flick!
