Film Reviews: The Lucky One

Genre:  Drama,  contain mild abuse & mild language

Cert: 15 cert

Story: 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

Likes : i love the basis of this film the classic boy meet girl & falls in love, this film is very heart warming & delivers romance on a different level. This truly is what fate is all about, in this film you see a different zac efron to the way you normal see him in films, he plays Logan a us marine that find a photo of a young woman which in fact saved he's life from a mortar attack that killed 6 of his squad. His journey take you on a journey of fate & love that for some reason is guiding him to seek her out to say thank you but lends him to a fate that predictable but heart warming, I love the way this film is filmed in a beautiful setting of country side peace & quiet. Taylor Schilling plays the love interest and the sister of the died soldier the photo is from, i found her very pretty not bad looking to, her character plays this struggling single mum with a ass whole of an ex husband trying to bring up a little boy when Logan turns up & bright her life with love. Jay R. Ferguson plays the abusive ex husband through he's own jealousy to Logan seals his own fate for good. This film seriously is the best Romanic feel good film ive seen in ages, filmed with beautiful style that real melts your heart zac efron & Taylor schilling really do bring a true performance to this film & make the film for what it is a true film of fate & finding love when you least expect it.

Dislike: nothing wrong with this film.

Overall : A good film if your looking for a romantic film, a fantastic performance by efron & a well worth watching film.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for storyline, 8 out of 10 for romantic feel & film setting
