    The Lucky One

    by mmumma

    Didn't follow the book as much as I had hoped. However the plot line was easy to follow. During the serious scenes, the acting wasn't very believable and you could tell when the voice was recorded over the acting.

    The Lucky One

    by

    As if watching the handsome Zac Efron wasn't enough to make you want to see this movie, then go for the wonderfully romantic musings of Nicholas Sparks! I really enjoyed this movie and was thrilled that ended better than many Sparks movies. For those hopeless romantics, this movie really delivers!

    The Lucky One

    by bcfields

    I watched the Lucky One and I loved it! To me, it was very much as the book was. It was a great great movie and I would see it again! There were a lot of young teens watching the movie and I don't particularly think it was for there age level.

    The luchky one

    by motion fan

    This is a story about a man who cares for his fellow man. He finds love thousands miles away. Some thing must of us dont get to see. I know I met a loved one 20,000 miles away.
    Something to capture in a notebook.
    This is for mature adults over 17. You must see!!!!!!!!

    'The Lucky One' review

    by Punk_Kanellis

    Another Nicholas Sparks cliché. Man finds woman, woman plays hard-to-get, something drastic happens in the middle, the two end up together in the end. This is the definition of a chick-flick. Fortunately for Nicholas Sparks, I?m a sucker for all of his books and movies, and chick-flicks. But I have to say, The Lucky One was different. His acting wasn?t the best, but I think that this is one of Zac Efron?s best films, putting aside the fact that he?s, well… Zac Efron. I also really like the fact that they used Taylor Schilling. She?s not that popular and her looks don?t steal your attention. Don?t get me wrong, she?s still stunning! I was just more enthralled in her acting. She did really well in that distressed mom act. The dad, Jay R. Ferguson, was a typical, drunk dirt bag and he played it well, too. The only draw back is that the book was pretty different. There were a lot of changes. I won?t give anything away I just wished they followed the book more.

    (: One of the better Sparks' films to date! :)

    by hawaiian_swanton

    I'm one of those people that when a movie's origin comes from a book, I read the book first then watch the movie. In most cases, sure, there are disappointments--characters are missing/added, phrases are said by others than the original character in the movie, parts you were looking forward to are cut--the list goes on. But, rarely, do I find a movie that puts in enough of the book in the film to keep us fans happy, and this was one of them! Efron makes Logan a lot more hunky, and Schilling makes Beth a lot stronger than most would've thought (if you've read the book). Sure, I was hoping for the ending to come out more like the book, but I can see why it might've been changed. Definitely, one of the better Sparks' movies out of the whole lot.

    I REALLY Wanted to Like it, but......

    by k_armetta

    it took a turn for the worst around mid-movie. It lacked believability and any real subtance or depth. It felt like a simple throw-together movie that I wasted my money on. The romance was the only thing that felt real. That is the only reason I would rate it so-so. There were a few times when I said to myself (and out loud), "this doesn't make sense!." Not what I paid for. If you are a die-hard Zac Efron fan or a die-hard sappy chick-flick fan, go check it out. But, unfortunately, even you probably won't like it.

    Amazing

    by elbowe2010

    This movie was definitely one of my favorite Nicholas Sparks movies! The story line was so good. The actors played their parts very well. It was just an all-around great movie!

    Nice Romantic Movie -- Good ending

    by

    I enjoyed this movie -- nice romance -- and a good ending (which, I feel, doesn't always happen in Spark's stories).

    On par with The Notebook

    by gator06

    Oh my gosh. Seriously, one of the best Nicholas Sparks movies -- mostly b/c it has hot love scenes, good acting, good pace, AND stays true to the book! I think the movies always go off-kilter when they veer off the book.

    And, uh, Zac Efron? Hot. Hot hot hot.
