    FELL IN LOVE WITH "THE LUCKY ONE"!!!

    by TXmoviemom

    I am a HUGE Zac Efron fan, so I will admit, that's why I went to see the movie..but I do LOVE Nicholas Sparks and "The Notebook" is my all time favorite movie. I was instantly drawn into this movie within the first 5 minutes. It's so up to date, with the war in Iraq, reminded me of "Dear John." It was a beautiful love story, with a beautiful setting. Blythe Danner is terrific as "Nana". I loved the chemistry between Zac and Taylor. I mean, Look at him! HE IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!! WHO COULD RESIST HIM AND THOSE BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    IT'S A MUST GO FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!

    pretty good

    by susannasmovies

    I loved the movie. Granted, it was different from the book...but I've come to expect that with movies. It's definitely a movie for girls, but that's no surprise as it is a Nicholas Sparks book. It's definitely a movie for adults as there are a few sex scenes that are inappropriate for kids and younger teens. I would definitely recommend this as a date movie or a girls night out.

    Wonderful date movie

    by PBPmovielover

    I read the original book first and couldn't have imagined the characters or setting any better than what was portrayed in this movie. Zac Efron was wonderful! Very romantic! The type of guy every woman dreams of. He's strong, muscular, sexy, brave, and protective (in a good way). Definitely not for kids with the steamy sex scenes but for every one over 18....GO SEE IT! Guys probably won't like it because they won't be able to live up to the romance.

    The Lucky One

    by owetter

    Awesome movie! Definitely a chick flick. I may have just liked it because I am IN LOVE with Zac Effron :) The movie is different than the book in many ways but still very satisfying!

    Book Lover Surprise

    by alixveronica89

    The movie was great, but it was (surprise) a lot different from the book! The first scenes from the book that took more time to read through and which were strategically planned out were breezed through in the movie and made shorter, and before you know it your in the chapter where the heat is turned up (those scenes were much longer, of course...not that I mind). Zac Effron has certainly matured. Altogether, I enjoyed it :)

    Another successful Nicholas Sparks book to movie conversion

    by Darkola

    If your a fan of former movies of Nicholas Sparks books, like Dear John, and The Notebook, then you will of course be a fan of this movie. I have not read this book, so I really cant compare the movie to it, but I did go with my wife(her turn for a chick flick), and found this movie to be a very good movie, it kept my attention, the story was a good story, although there is a far stretch of the imagination to think he would ever really find her, that aside it was a good story, the acting was very good, and will say it was worth the price of admission. I'd give this movie 2 1/2 out of 4 stars myself, only because I feel movies like this can really be made for TV, as I have seen equally good movies on tv, and am sure there was no real expense of anything over the top to make this anything exceptional, or to stand it out amongst other movies playing at the show, so if your all cought up on your movies, and want to make the wife/girlfriend happy, or just like love stories, then go see it

    Romantic

    by MissSocom10108

    Very romantic and all and all good movie. Seemed to take forever between events of something happening, If you have the patience for that, youll probably rate it a 5.

    A solid B

    by DameDallas

    Saw it last night and liked what I saw. It was a predictable romance movie, but good-predictable.
    I also liked the way Zac Efron handled his character. There was chemistry between the two protagonists, funny small moments, and overall, a nice way to spend a Tuesday evening.

    The Lucky One

    by

    The warmth,fire(passion), and direction of this movie intrigued me throughout. To see Zac Efron play such a serious role was I'm sure a great challenge for the young actor. He deals with attacks in war as a young Marine, loss of a comrade, walking very long distances, meeting and confronting total strangers, and rejection. Each and every scene was played so appropriately from beginning to end.He could have played the "I'm the lead actor and you know it!" role throughout. But, he chose to be a part of the story which allowed suspense and constant letdown. Yet, I really was able to enjoy the ending because of the real heroine that he befriends.

    Surprisingly well done

    by lynne.foster

    While this is truly a chick flick and a bit cheesy, I thought it was well done and was definitely entertained. And that fact that my husband didn't groan or leave the theatre means he was entertained enough as well.

    LOVE

    by terpluvin

    I really liked this movie--the scenery was beautiful (both the land and Zac). It was romantic and sweet and really beautiful. My only complaint is that it strayed too much from the book. I think they left out or changed some key details. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone who loves a good, simple, sappy love story :)

    Very Disappointed

    by cress_terry

    I am very disappointed in this movie. I read the book before the movie came out and was really excited to see the movie but the movie did not follow the book. there were only 2 scenes that I thought really followed the book the rest was not even close. If you are going to make a movie based on a book well then at least try to have the movie follow the book. I am not saying the movie was bad but I would much rather read the book a hundred more times than watch the movie more than one time.
