The Lucky One


U.S. Marine Sergeant Logan Thibault (Efron) returns from his third tour of duty in Iraq, with the one thing he credits with keeping him alive--a photograph he found of a woman he doesn't even know. Learning her name is Beth (Schilling) and where she lives, he shows up at her door, and ends up taking a job at her family-run local kennel. Despite her initial mistrust and the complications in her life, a romance develops between them, giving Logan hope that Beth could be much more than his good luck charm.

This movie is exactly what you would expect it to be. It's a Nicolas Sparks adaptation.  There's lots of drama, there are lots of emotions/drama, etc. etc.  This one was definitely one of the less heavy ones.  Neither one of the main characters died or had some disease slowly killing them like his other entries.  It was a decent enough watch for a "chick" flick.

I would lukewarmly recommend people checking this out.  It's not a must see by any means but it isn't awful either.  It's probably the most credible acting that Zac Efron has done in his career to date.
