The latest Nicholas Sparks' adaption that you
must see!
Before going to see a movie I try and keep my expectations
under wrap. I’m a firm candidate for building up expectations, and willing
for a movie to sweep me off my feet. When the movie doesn’t quite kick to this
standard, I can’t help but feel a little disappointed.
Recently I’ve started leaving my expectations at the
cashier counter, and enjoying the fact that I’ve only spent around £3 (Thanks
Orange Wednesdays) around the same price you’d pay for a half decent sandwich.
However, now I face my first stumble. As I
have already built up a bundle of hopes for this one movie. 'The Lucky One' –
The adaptation of the best-selling novel by Nicholas Sparks, the author of ‘The
Notebook’, ‘Dear John’, and ‘The Last Song’, and to note - some of my most
beloved.
‘The Lucky One’ appears to target the same rom-com lovers
who indulge in a deep thought provoking tearjerker. Zac Efron ("17
Again," "Charlie St. Cloud") stars alongside Taylor Schilling
(TV's "Mercy") and Blythe Danner ("Meet the Parents"
franchise).
U.S Marine Sergeant Logan Thibault (Efron)
returns from his third tour of duty in Iraq, holding the one thing he believes
has kept him alive – a photograph he found of a woman, a woman he has not yet
met. He searches to discover her name – Beth (Taylor Schilling) where she
lives, and then turns up one day at her door. After a brief introduction he
ends up taking a job at her family-run local kennel. Beth has a complicated and
misleading life, which leads to her have her doubts about Logan . Yet as time
passes the two develop a romance and a friendship that will touch may hearts.
